Happy Birthday sj! Hope it's an enjoyable trip.

A trip sounds nice! It is supposed to finally warm up here this week…possibly too much if it’s actually 90 degrees Sunday (I do not want to sit and watch a soccer game in blazing 90 degree sun!) but I’m hoping to go to the beach Friday or Saturday, if the lake is clean enough to swim in (much like the Seine?)

Happy birthday, sj!

Healing vibes for your house, Tep

Happy Birthday, sj!

Behave, Teppy's sinuses. Seriously.

Hot here. Going to a play tonight - apparently Hair was formative for my husband, so he asked to go... sure, why not! He doesn't often suggest things, so I'm always down. Well, so far, anyway.

Thank you, flea!

Happy birthday, sj!

Flush your head, Tep!

It's a heatwave in SF but due to microclimates my neighborhood will be about 74.

Our wings are not tired.

Enjoy, sj!

Health~ma to the Teppy household.

Mixed feelings. It was so huge when I was in HS. Brings me joy, but depressing too!

The microclimates of SF are fascinating to me. Nothing like it anywhere I have lived.

Son and GF are here today helping me with projects. It is a pretty chill day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Anniversary Day! Too many years to count. I did the "Haaaappy Anniversary" song this morning and H caroled back, "For-ty Se-ven yearrrs!" Counting the one together not married. We'll nap in the shade a little and read and maybe hold hands. We still like each other. And they said it wouldn't last.

Feel better, Teppy and Tim.

Happy Birthday, SJ. Enjoy your trip!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Thanks everyone. We’re in Mystic for a couple days, as a birthday present from TCG.

I only visited Mystic once, probably 25 years ago, and I really loved the town. What a great birthday present!

Tim's stomach has calmed down, although he's eating small amounts of bland food to be sure everything stays calms. My sinuses are not magically better yet, which I think is a scam. It's 2024; surely we should have come up with something by now to just zap a sinus infection away in one fell swoop. Ugh. Sinuses, such fuckers.

Going to hydrate, ride the bike, and then re-hydrate.

Happy Anniversary, Bev!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Happy birthday to sj, and happy anniversary to lovely Beverly and her dear DH.

It's a heatwave in SF but due to microclimates my neighborhood will be about 74.

16C/61F just south of you in Daly City, with windows open and a coastal breeze. I'm savouring every bit of the cool I can get, as I'm moving to the East Bay at the end of July. It's been lovely living in my dream micro-climate for so long, but I can't afford it any more.
