You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Calli!

Today was my dad's birthday, so it's always a bit of a bittersweet occasion for me now.

I finally assembled the string trimmer I bought last Christmas yesterday. The battery was in a plastic bag that was oily inside, so I'm letting it dry out for a few days before hooking it up to the charger and live current. Assuming said battery doesn't melt, I should be able to tell if I can use trim a couple of overgrown shrubs or if need to make other arrangements.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y’all! I celebrated yesterday with family. After dinner out, we went back to my nephew’s for ice cream cake and presents. My 5-year old great nephew was all, “This one’s from us. You like legos, right?” He hasn’t quite figured out that whole “secret” thing yet. But I was very happy to receive a Lego flowering cactus.

I’m also very happy to see Sophia’s pixels and that Steph is getting to the seaside.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lego flowering cactus! Nice! Many happy returns of the day, Calli!

Hope all went well for Sophia’ and good luck to your sister Laura!

I continue to be thwarted by appointments—took the dog to the vet because they’d said he needed vaccines but when I got there they realized it had been 2 years not 3, so he’s actually NOT due. Sigh.

Fb reminded me it’s Burrells birthday. Sad.
