Huh. It’s a wfh day for me today but I decided to go work at the library because it’s all pleasant there and as I’m driving over my podcast is interrupted by an EMERGENCY ALERT for an earthquake (?!) telling me to “Drop, Cover. Hold on”. Get to the library and check my earthquake apps which don’t show anything yet. An earthquake tracker I follow on Bluesky does show a 5+ earthquake up by Ukiah but that’s a long way from here. Weird.
And upon checking my apps, there are user contributed reports of a quake in Napa at the same time, maybe people feeling the actual quake but thinking it was closer to them because big? Hope everyone’s ok up there

Our wings are not tired.
Trying to be productive today. Getting my house in order and gathering stuff to transport north in one area. Cleaning out the fridge, clearing furniture from the balcony, laundry, and a bunch more on the list. Not going until Tuesday now, but still a very long To Do.
Really worried about the TPS ruling. Almost all our basketball kids are Haitian. Almost all of our healthcare workers are Haitian. This is just horrific for so many people. I am filled with absolute hatred for the current powers that be. They are vile humans.

Happy Thursday! The fog is general over San Francisco as is typical for summer.
I have a packed weekend schedule.
Tonight my friend Jes's drag troupe does its monthly show at the bookstore, and my new friend Rachael (my Pilates instructor) will be coming.
Tomorrow night my friend Rowan's 30th birthday is at Alembic (with Jes's drag troupe performing).
Then on Sunday I get to enforce socialization with my kids for a second consecutive weekend, and once again get to pick the movie.

I would like a sparkly star for bravery, please: Mr. Loomycakes is out of town at a Magic: the Gathering event, and last night I had to deal with a spider by myself. (I beat it to death with a shoe as it kept skittering toward me.)
