This is an incredible experience for Matilda. So happy for her.
I've avoided almost all of the vile response from TFG to the crash. Alas, I did see the DEI bit. My first thought was that he looked worse and more clownish than ever. I've started trying to dip into some morning news, on delay so I can fast forward as needed. I was watching BBC news, but I don't get a delay option with that channel. This week I tried CBS morning news. They are more excited about being awake than I am, but they have some arts coverage.
Today I have to clean all the things. I have SIX women arriving in the next couple days. SIL and 5 friends. My sister is also arriving on Monday night, but I am picking her up at the airport at 11 PM and heading directly over the alley to my FL sister's place where I will stay for a few days leaving DH to deal with the house full of women! We have adequate couches/air mattresses for all the bodies, but I can't even imagine where the luggage and toiletries will accumulate. I am leaving six little stacks of beach towel/bath towel/face cloths for each of them on the dining room table. I suspect DH will give up and take Skinner and head to a friend's house and just let the girls have the master bed/bath too. eta: the beach cabana here at the condo has a great private shower in the women's room so that will be a help.
