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.
It has been a slightly fraught weekend.
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.
Happy birthday, Steph!!!
Happy birthday, Steph!
Happy Teppy Day!
How discouraging about your wrist, Laura.
I'm reminded of Louis CK's joke about how after a certain age doctors just shrug and say, "Welp, you've got a shitty wrist now." I hope yours gets less shitty, or maybe a lighter drill is in order.
I'm mostly recovered from my head cold but there's still some left where it's heavy and wet in my lungs, and I get an odd whistling through my sinuses as the congestion makes tectonic shifts.
When I woke up my mouth tasted like Satan's armpit. So not 100% yet. I ran yesterday but it made me really winded.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I'm glad I started antibiotics for this sinus infection yesterday, because when I woke up today, in addition to my sinuses hurting, my ears hurt and all of my top teeth hurt. So if the antibiotics would hurry up and do their thing, that would be great.
Do your thing, antibiotics! I'm sorry there is ick on your birthday.
I hope yours gets less shitty, or maybe a lighter drill is in order.
Happy to report that the wrist brace helped a lot and I achieved 3 bathroom towel hooks. Now for the coat ones at the front entry. Unlike Florida people wear jackets and stuff here. They are these wood wedges which look good with my all pine wood interior. [link]
