Y'all know that gif with the dog pulling the blanket over their head as they go into the crate? That's me for the next five months. I don't know how I'm going to survive this, much less the country...

It is going to be a very long summer. At least I expect fewer ads here in NY than FL will be burdened with. The major swing states are going to be inundated with negative ads.

I have never been so happy that we only watch streaming TV (except that football season starts at the beginning of September, which means I'll be watching the Bengals on commercial TV, and that is going to suck so much because of the political ads—2 months of political ads, but at least only once a week).

Sometimes I kinda forget that TV commercials are still a thing.

Happy Birthday, David!

All sorts of ~ma for you and your kitty, Epic.

Glad the basement flooding wasn't worse, Gud.

Hope the show is as good as it sounds, Aurelia.

All my morning chores done, b'fast dishes washed and put away. Time for a nap!

So far the oscillating fan is doing a fair job. We haven't needed the AC yet. I've no doubt we eventually will, though. It's kind of unsettling walking through the house. The front windows soak up heat till midday, and the kitchen skylight--once you're past that the house temp drops ten or more degrees and the bedrooms are actually cool. Even need a blanket at night. People used to close off part of the house so they didn't have to heat it in winter. We have the opposite.

Football games are pretty much the only thing I watch on network TV. And we put the news channel on if there's a tornado warning or something, but they don't interrupt that with commercials (this typhoon brought to you by Captain D's!).

Apparently I’m too old for pride now or something. Went to the block party thing that the lesbian bar does tonight, and normally run into everyone you’ve ever met or dated or wanted to avoid or only see once a year there. And this year? I saw ONE person I knew. And I know a LOT of people!! No idea where everyone was. Super strange.

Timelies all!

Brought my car into the dealership to get the a/c looked at. While they were checking that, they found a bunch of other things that needed fixing.(Isn't that always the way?) Luckily, most of that was covered by the extended warranty, so the final bill was a bit under $800, not $3000+.

glad the warranty worked out for you.

Happy Sunday! Happy last day of June! Happy Pride!

Matilda just got picked up by her friend Veronica to go to the Pride parade.

I managed to get her up at 8:15 which is a record for this summer, and got coffee and toasted baguette with butter and jam in her. Plus her meds.

It's a glorious blue sky day in San Francisco, and I just saw a hummingbird outside my window.

I'm going to head out to run shortly, then I need to Tend to Tasks, both housekeeping and paperwork.

Nothing too daunting though.

I've firmed up some visitor plans for late July and early August, and that pleases me.

I ran! I did the dishes!

I had a forbidden sandwich because it's still my birthday weekend and June, and it's my favorite sandwich.

It's sunny and bright and all the dogs are wearing rainbow bandanas.
