The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Another slutty, slutty genus is the citrus family, who will hybridize with anything and everything. This genus started out in a tiny area in the Himalayas, and are worldwide now. Wild.

I love my acidic whore fruits.

Thrive to spite them

I have nothing to add to the veggie/fruit discussion. Oh except animal rehab center I follow on FB has a bobcat that loves turnips. The bobcat can't live in the wild anymore. And has an affinity for turnips so they keep him supplied. I think he plays with them instead of eating them.

Good news at work...the restroom renovations are done! The restrooms look nice! There was much rejoicing, literal rejoicing. Bad news no word on who the new manager is and they were supposed to tell us today but of the 2 things everyone is fine with the outcome. We will find out soon enough. In the meantime we have an actual restroom to use.

Best news is my shoulder is so much better. I still need to see the Dr about my shoulder and the pre existing issue but I am not in pain and I can move my arm petty freely. Yay.

Also M got his bill form the ER. Well he got one confusing bill which was less than $300, but apparently that was the payment due for the bill of around $3000. But the VA is supposed to help with that he has to do something online which I will help him with. He also got info about increasing his payments so we are going to look at that. Last week I was talking to a coworker whose husband is also a disabled Vet and she gave me the info about he lawyer they used . I'm going to encourage M to at least meet with the lawyer once about this. Because my coworker said they ended up getting a lot more money and help than they thought they could get.

My cat once repeatedly dipped her paw into my celery root soup and licked it right off. Catnip is not related to celery. Watching a cat eat soup is fascinating. It was in a mug, so she had to dip and lick instead of lapping. Only non-meat human food I've ever witnessed her eating. It was good soup.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Definitely good to follow up and make sure that the VA disability percentage is as high as he’s eligible for. Can make a big difference. I’m glad your shoulder is feeling better.

Lexington, Michigan it turns out is a stone’s throw from my mom’s hometown on Lake Huron, Sarnia. OK, a very long throw across an international border. But close!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We are planning to go to the MD Renaissance Festival on Sunday. Friends of ours who have a daughter near Mr. S's age let us know they would be going that day, so we are too. Weather forecast says partly sunny and in the 70s, which is great weather for this.

Our wings are not tired.

Waves weakly from Otter Lake. I've been in Covid brain fog all week so reading or focusing hasn't been fun. I've been banished to my upstairs bedroom to keep away from Brendon. Maybe he has escaped it. I want him to test today. I am feeling better and slept well last night. Sending love and ~ma as needed.

eta: I wasn't super sick, no fever, just a snot factory with coughing and serious brain fog. It is the height of unfairness to not be able to read when sick in bed, but it was just words that weren't sinking in. The last couple days I was able to read again which is glorious.

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

Ooh, is it time to share my favorite brassica meme again?

MD RenFest!!

I've come to love the NY Faire, but after 20 years I still quote the Reduced Shakespeare Company at the drop of a hat.

My excitement so ar today is that I got to add a grey tufted titmouse to my life list. I'm glad I finally started filling the bird feeder again. They were quick to come back, those tiny, flying dinosaurs.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

My 35th high school reunion is tonight, and I am NOT going, because I've seen the RSVP list on the evite, and 99% of them are not a group of people I care to be around, even for an evening. But one of my high school BFFs is going to be in town (because she is going to the reunion), so we're having dinner today with our other high school BFF (who is also going to the reunion). Dinner will be great, because I can catch up with them without having to go to the Real Housewives of Cincinnati shindig.

And then next week I'm going to Colorado for a very long weekend with my college roommates, with one day with my brother tacked on the end. So between this weekend and the Colorado trip, I will be strolling down memory lane for about 10 days.
