Pretty furniture!
Job~ma, JenP! I'm interested to hear who is there
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I will just be over here making inarticulate noises at the Harvey Ellis jewelry box. Which I do not need! But it's pretty.
If y'all could hold your thumbs/cross your fingers for J., I would appreciate it - he had two interviews for contract work today (after the meeting with our tax accountant, argh), and some money coming in would be good.

Fingers crossed and contract ~ma for J coming your way.
And thanks, -t! I will report back.

Fingers crossed!
Good job, onerous task do-ers!
I paid off not two, but three (Ha ha ha! - The Count) past due bills. One online (a most unfair parking ticket), one via Venmo (therapist) and one via check with envelope and stamp like some primitive being who only had financial instruments from the 19th century.
I ran this morning, and then did a couple long-walk errands and have 15,759 steps for the day (so far).
On top of the task doing, I'm feeling fairly sore but productive. I've punted the item pick-up to tomorrow, but I should be able to do one of the cooking projects tonight.
Self care: I poured a tall glass of cold fizzy water and drank from it every time I entered the kitchen, which definitely increased my hydration for the day. Also, I took all my supplements.
I have a doctor appointment Friday, a skincare appointment on Sunday, and a hair appointment on Monday. The hair appointment is with a stylist I have only been to twice before. The first time was probably 10 years ago, and the other time was maybe 7 years ago. But she's super nice and interesting and I've kept her in the back of my mind, so I'm excited that she called me back and booked me.
I will just be over here making inarticulate noises at the Harvey Ellis jewelry box. Which I do not need! But it's pretty.

-t. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the boons.
Happiest of Birthdays to Pix and Maria.
I need to go throw a load of laundry in the washer . That is going to be my only onerous task.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I can’t remember if I already said it, but welcome back Cabil!
Hopefully ltc will be going back to school tomorrow, but they’ve already announced a two hour delay.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’m irrationally angry that we just chose a book for bookclub that is not available except through amazon/audible in audiobook form. I hates them.

That’s rationally angry these days.
