Happy birthday, hippocampus!

Sorry about the mice, msbelle.

One of my coworkers was a bit of a grump. Turns out it was because she constantly felt poorly due to celiac (which took an unreasonable amount of time to diagnose). And we’re a super-bake-y department. Well, gluten free flour makes great shortbread. So when we were in the office, I made a fair bit of it, and the coworker is pretty smiley these days. Probably not just due to the shortbread, but I like to think it doesn’t hurt.

That’s so interesting, Jess! I haven’t gone back and watched Leverage since it was on and wouldn’t have guessed that there was A Look. That’s barely the past, much less retro!

20! Years! Counts as vintage.

Lalalala I can’t hear you

2008-12, though, according to IMDB

Which is well into that puzzling time that I have no idea, subjectively, how long ago it was. Just happened, right, a couple of years ago maybe?

I don't think I watched it often when it was live, as is my usual pattern. It was more recently that I watched them.

My most awesome niece came over and cleaned my living room, so I have 3-1/2 rooms done now. Kitchen, living room, bathroom, and at least my bed in the bedroom. It makes it much less overwhelming.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday hippocampus!

The new Leverage is on the list of things to watch when I have time.(I never seem to have time for more than keeping up with the various CW superhero shows.) At least I have Amazon Prime, so I don't have to subscribe to a new thing.

Happy hippocampus day!

My day has been a cycle of read some Bleak House, watch a little Leverage, leave the cone of fan pushed air to see if that is a viable option, come back to the fan with some alacrity, a little more Bleak House, etc. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler, I had *better* get up around dawn and get some stuff done

Also happy hippocampus day!

I spent three hours at the lake- getting back to post COVID lake visiting every weekend day ( I can walk to the lake from my house) I have a new to me swimsuit which came to me when Maria’s mom passed away, so I felt weird wearing it with her, but she is happy I love the swimsuit so much. Oddly, it is not anything special in the bra department, but it makes supports and makes my boobs look so much better than the special DDD swimsuit from Lands End. But now I am a little sunburnt.

I also realized I am still so obsessed with Josh Thomas shows because there is no fan fiction for them. Usually I get obsessed with things, and then read fanfic until I am saturated, but there is literally like one real story about the show that isn’t G rated. Maria says that means I need to write fanfic, but I haven’t written fiction since 1988!

Feeling content and comfy in Otter Lake. Daily visits with my sister, including watching Leverage together. My niece coming over and cleaning my house. Last night I made dinner and brought it over to niece and nephew's house and visited with them. My son and GF have Wednesday off and we are making a plan. Childhood GF came over with a stack of pictures for me to scan for a slideshow for the local church's 100th anniversary. Not really a member, but I got married there in 1973 and my mom married my step-dad there. Happy to participate. It is just all so relaxed and normal. I've even seen a few prancing deer and fireflies! Today to clean the front porch so I can sit out there again.

And in what the hell is wrong with people news, my cousin is expecting her 2nd child in a few weeks and she posted a gentle message to all that they would love to see people after the birth, but only if vaccinated, and really masks would be appreciated too. Every single response save one was supportive and congratulatory except her cousin who replied "See u in our next life .....love and wish u the best". This dude in his 40s has colon cancer, his mother nearly died of Covid prior to the vaccine being available, and his wife and mother are both RNs and of course vaccinated! The hell, man! Although he lives close enough we rarely see him, and this reminds me why.
