That is really excellent news, Pix. And I'm so glad you'll get to meet Drew's family in Montana!
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

That sounds great Pix! And I’m so glad you’ll get to meet up with drew too!
I have gone straight from “boring COVID lonesome” to “I have something every night of the week, three house guests for the weekend, am going to a wedding Friday, hosting brunch Saturday, an evening part Saturday, and have FOUR invites between 11am and 3pm on Sunday”. It’s a bit much even for me, mostly because work is continuing to stress me out and kick my ass, and I don’t know how I’m going to do all of it! But I don’t want to cancel anything and know once it’s happening I’ll enjoy it. Meanwhile I am up past my bedtime, unable to sleep even though I was exhausted all day, and Wishing I had AC because it is going to be hot all week here. It wasn’t so bad today in my house but it’s still about 78 in my room and that’s too warm.

I’m glad things are looking up, Pix.
Work is challenging and frequently annoying. But I have an application in with my sister’s alma mater up in MI, so at least I feel like I’m trying to change things. We’ll see how that goes.

Our wings are not tired.
That is such an encouraging update, Pix. So happy that meeting up with Drew is happening.
Oh, social meara! Exhausting but a super change.
~ma on the application, Calli.
Trying to make shift to NY plans for summer and it's complicated. Most likely it will happen quickly when the ducks get lined up.

That's good to hear, Pix.

Good to hear some some things are breaking in the right direction, Pix - glad you can get to Montana for a bit.
Good luck, Calli! Would that be moving to a whole new place, or have you ever lived there before?
Meara, I have two dinners downtown this week and I feel like a freaking social butterfly. I bow to your social calendaring!

What is even happening?
Wow, Drew and Kristin, you're doing a lot of big, emotional things all at once (and traveling great distances to do them). Take good care of yourselves. Drew, I hope your time with your bio family is lovely. Kristin, I'm glad you've made some progress with your dad.

What Cindy said: you guys are doing a lot - a big roller coaster of emotions.
So I am reading Heroine Complex and am wondering if the Michelle Yeoh movie I Heroic Trio that is pivotal for the main character is streaming anywhere? I’ve never seen it & it sounds like fun.

Good news, Pix.

That's really good to hear, Kristin. And I'm really excited that Drew gets to spend time with his bio-family.
