We sat down to eat some pizza, and Tim asked if we should watch a movie. I asked, “Can we re-watch Winter Soldier since it’s my birthday?” And he asked “Haven’t you watched that like 3 times already?” “It’s cute that you think I’ve watched it *only* 3 times,” I said.

(The movie is 10 years old, [how? what?], so I'm like 95% sure he knows I've watched it more than 3 times.)

Update: he has confirmed that he knows I've watched it "between 10 and 50 times" (in his words).

There are Miyazaki films (and Lilo) that are comfort films that we've watched dozens, nay, scores of times.

DH's recovery from his kidney surgery is not going as planned. His surgeon's office is closed (of course. Weekend), and actually I pretty much think of him as a knife jockey because near as I can tell he has zero patient skills. H refuses to go to ED for fear they'll screw up what the surgeon did, and is insisting on waiting till Monday. Chances are they won't see him at the office anyway without an appt. and will just send him to ED.

It has been a slightly fraught weekend. Men! And their...ways!

Hmmm. Maybe if he wears the cheese?

It is the best MCU movie, after all.

Can confirm.

Eek good luck with weekend sickness!

I went to two bbqs today. Slept in rather late. Made a big batch of rice krispy treats and brought some to the lunchtime Juneteenth BBQ and some to the evening one (no theme but did involve sitting around a fire). I am so glad it is not heinously hot here.

First and foremost, today we celebrate Steph's birthday! Happy birthday, Teppy! May you be well spoiled today, and may this year be filled with treats and delight.

I may have to watch Winter Soldier in your honor later.

Ugh. I hope that things are better for him today. Always on the weekend, and yes, tomorrow they will most likely send him to the ED anyway.

Today I really need to accomplish more. Annoyed with my still weak wrist. It has been a couple months since I sprained it, but it is still unhappy when I try and challenge it. All I wanted to do was install 6 wood pegs. 3 in the bathroom for towels, and 3 in the entry for jackets. The wrist was too weak to screw in the 12 screws by hand into the wood walls, so I got the drill and that is heavy and requires pushing on the screw, which hurts too. I only got one done. Today I will try again with the wrist brace. If that doesn't work it goes on my son's list. He has been helpful. He and the GF came up and planted a bunch of tiger lilies and flowers along the front of the camp.

Everyone in this region calls their places camp. Every other region I have lived in it would be a summer home or cottage, or vacation home. Here people say, we are going 'up to camp'. (always up to, maybe because it is in the mountains?) I have to paint the camp. I have to shovel the snow off the roof at camp. When I call it camp other places people think kids summer camp group environments. Since this is where I was raised it isn't my summer cottage, it is camp. And, sheesh, the camp needs some tidying.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Steph!

Happy birthday, Steph! I hope you’re feeling better.
