I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I will be avoiding the news as much as possible next Saturday. I have to bring Luna in for her shots and checkup that morning, so that'll take up some time.

Rory and I went camping with friends yesterday. It was mostly ok—there were 5 people and 7 dogs, which was a little ridiculous, but he was also the second biggest dog (and one of the small ones was a two legged with back wheels!) He wanted to growl out the tent at something several times but mostly slept better than I did—I just can’t get comfy in a sleeping bag! I want to sleep on my side but then it fits funny and only works on one side because the other one doesn’t unzip so I’m facing more sleeping bag, and I feel like i can’t put my arms anywhere??? Not sure how to solve that part.

David that’s so scary! Glad the pupper is mostly ok now but yikes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We spent the weekend doing eight million errands having to do with the new house. EIGHT MILLION I TELL YOU. Feel free to ignore the following list of our herculean labors: buy a new table saw. Pick out vinyl flooring for the basement (Which we’re going to install ourselves). Pick up new bathtub from Home Depot. Grocery shopping. Pick up new medicine cabinet. Measure kitchen counters. Count how many cabinet handles we have to replace in the kitchen (50). Measure bathroom floor. Measure deck for fencing (which we are going to build ourselves). Etc etc etc.

We also met our next door neighbors, who seem to be very cool people.

Art Crawl!!!

I have only 4 days of radiation left!

Sadly, I neither glow in the dark nor have I developed exciting new powers.

I am exhausted from dealing with all the frustrating patron problems in the last 15 minutes the library was open.

Spent much of the week watching the American Eventing Championships (AECs) streaming on the US Eventing Association website. Lots of pretty ponies running over the bluegrass. Next year the AECs are going to be in Montana. All but the top two divisions were won by women/girls.

Scrappy that sounds exhausting! Go you and good luck with all the future planned work!

Woo hoo! Almost there! Almost there!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have only 4 days of radiation left!

Woohoo!

So it looks like my 3-day weekend will be at least 4 days. Somebody at work tested positive so now everyone who was working on stage Friday has to get a negative test before coming back to work. I'm doubting the turnaround time for Walgreens (earliest appt is Tues morning) is going to get me back to work on Wednesday.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, unlikely tp get back. Also well under the incubation period but that's life in 2021.

Yay almost done radiation

Our wings are not tired.

First, it is a special holiday today as we celebrate flea's birthday! Happiest wishes for a lovely day filled with love and joy.

Count how many cabinet handles we have to replace in the kitchen (50).

Yikes, but nice to have so many cabinets! Yay for cool neighbors.

I have only 4 days of radiation left!

Sorry about the so-far undetected superpowers. But yay for being that much closer to being finished with that chapter.

Mini-meara:

Yay for seeing parents, msbelle! I'm sorry Mac continues to be a source of worry.

Poor Cupid!

Lisah gives excellent advice.

Happy Birthday, Flea!!!

YAY ALMOST DONE RADIATION, sumi!

So glad you and Rory had a fun camping trip, meara! I know the isolation of the past year and a half was really hard on extraverts like you, and I'm glad you're getting people time again.

Oh, Scrappy, I feel that pain. Yay for progress and cool neighbors?

As for me, I had my biopsy on Friday, and I'm here to report that was no fun at all. I get my results some time between Wednesday and Friday, so if everyone could please send no-cancer vibes in the genera direction of my left breast, I'd appreciate it.
