Spike ,'Help'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I was going to say "It's July and I am at the beach; that is too early for pumpkin spice,"** but honestly, if someone offered me a piece of pumpkin pie right now, I'd devour it.
**(I only like pumpkin *spice* when it's paired with actual pumpkin. The flavor of the spices on their own are whatever, they're fine, but I really don't walk around craving nutmeg.)
[edit] I was posting this while -t was editing her post, and I am thrilled that -t has got my back!

Mmm, pumpkin pie is so tasty. …pie in general is tasty. Mmm, pie.
That said I am not ready to admit it’s over halfway through summer, much less that spice time is nigh! No.
fyi, there's going to be a new edition of knitting with dog hair. The author?editor? is asking for people to send their dog hair (seemingly, it's warmer than wool)
I don't blame people for wanting fall to get here. I usually have a few pumpkin spice things a year...not something I get super-excited about, but autumn is. we've been dealing with this repair job for the individual water meters for about a month as of today. It would be better having people in here if we were getting a new kitchen or something instead of a water bill. basically, if you can avoid an HOA, you'll be happier. Haven't posted about that because arbitrary crap at someone else's request/demand is not all that new for me, but there are limits. mess, and, noise and holes in the ceiling. Also, mom and I already spend kind of a crazy-making amount of time together...waiting around for flaky workmen is not helping.
I'm cold for some reason. I hate it. I just want to wrap up in a blanket and take a nap. Which I can't do at work
Last night when we were in bed M started singing "I'm going to get a female President...I'm going to vote for a female President...I'm getting a female President". He is very excited about Harris .
I feel it's too early for pumpkin spice anything as well but it is what it is. Although school here starts Aug 8 so fall seems a lot closer (they get out at the end of May)
Do you have a fever, askye?

That is delightful
It's funny how August feels like the end of summer ( I guess because of all the back to school stuff in the air?) but is also the height of summer. It's when it's hottest (here at least) and there's still a lot of daylight. If we had something to mark that pagan holiday halfway between the solstice and the equinox it might help. We have something for the others like that. Groundhog Day, Halloween, May Day, but nothing in August.
I joined a FB group, Florida Women for Harris, and they have gone nuts, over 30,000 members and growing at a mad rate. Lots of them are from deep red areas, like The Villages. Encouraging. There are bunches of pictures of plastic flamingoes painted blue wearing pearls and sneakers on people's lawns. So cute! Makes me wish I had a FL lawn.
I think there's something going around. I had a fever early Sunday morning and slept for like 14 hours. I'm upright today, but I'm not thrilled about it.
