I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I survived the party. The kids had a blast and now I’m going to take my migraine to a quiet, dark room.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I walked over to the library and back! And I cleaned half a trash can's worth of vines off the jungly portion of the backyard!

It's a tiny chip in my ginormous To-Do list, but at least there was progress.

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

Go sj and Theodosia with the weekend activities!

I did some housework and went for a walk be fore things got too hot. I’m hoping to get another early-ish walk in today and otherwise be lazy on the sofa with the latest Jordan L. Hawk book.

My head is still pounding and my back hates me. It’s also raining. These things are all likely related. I’m hoping the rain stops soon so we can still go to a local festival for dinner. Getting out of the house is better than staying home hating my body.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Skippy skimmy.

Yes, msbelle. I cannot keep up with basic shit, much less devote much time to longer projects in anything more than tiny nibbles.

Vance was vetted. He's up to date on his shots and the stool sample was clear of worms

Bahaha stealing to share.

Cannot sleep, wondered aloud on fb where my vampires were, and then remembered some might be here. Hello, fang friends.

The other reason I cam was to say: happy 3d ghostly birthday, amyth. Never out of mind, and I keep you in my sights.

Coding and Sleeping

This weekend I mowed and trimmed, took the dogs for a couple of two-mile walks, did a couple loads of laundry (and put them away), went to the grocery store, cleaned the interior of my wife's car, and did the usual cooking.

Did a two-mile walk with the dogs this morning before work and arranged to have our water heater replaced which died this weekend. Oh, also sucked up some water from the basement the weekend.

Has anybody seen a Harris sign yet? When walking the dogs I just see a bunch of Trump signs, flags, and banners.

Punishingly Intricate

I think we’re all waiting for the cool artists to make their versions of Harris Walls signs to put them up.

Thrive to spite them

Trump managed to really piss off Swifties. He was posting AI garbage that made it seem like Taylor Swift supports Trump. And while I'm sure there are some fans who do support Trump Taylor Swift has never endorsed anyone and the majority of the Swifties (I assume) do not support him.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

When I was in Canada last month, the house at the top of the hill across the street from my cottage had a Trump 2024 flag on the garage (next to a Trump 2020 flag, and the other outside wall was plastered in signs that read "Trudeau is a disgrace" so we were all pretty confused about what country this guy was registered to vote in).

I don't think I've seen any presidential candidate signs in my neighborhood, it's only local candidates so far.
