I watched the video of hostages' families talking to them on the phone (hostages on the plane heading home, families in the Oval Office). My allergies are acting up.

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.

What's up with everyone this weekend?
End of vacation. We leave Sunday to go back to the land of no ocean and no incredibly fresh seafood. :(
That said, I miss our scapegrace of a kitty, and as always, I miss my own bed. But it's been a good vacation. Lazier than most years, which would have seemed impossible to me before, but we pulled it off. Though today we're going to wander down to the tiny museum in Topsail Beach that has, among other exhibits, an exhibit about pirates. I'm planning to exclaim "Where's Wee John? Where's Buttons?" as many times as I can before Tim shushes me.

No exciting plans for the weekend. Looks like it will be rainy so I really should do some housecleaning. With construction in progress I lack motivation, but I really prefer a clean environment.
Went to the chiropractor this morning to perhaps unstiffen these stiff bones. We've been going to the gym every morning where I have just been biking and doing the hip PT. I need to do some upper body stuff but haven't yet. I know the only way to be able to do more is to do more, but it would be so much nicer to sit in a rocking chair sipping tea and reading.

No shushing, Tim. Full participation in the exhibits is mandatory.

Pirate exhibit! Cool. Safe travels home. Enjoy the raining time.
My only plan is to have lunch or dinner with my bestie who's been in NM visiting home for a month. I mean, we "work from Zoom" every day, so it hasn't been that different, really, but in-person will be nice.

Just got news that my mother, a few days shy of turning 88, looks like she won’t make it to her birthday. Heading to a hospital in NJ now.

I'm sorry, Tom. I hope everything is as easy as possible.
