Yay, hummingbirds and family gatherings!
And the satisfaction of bug zappers, if not the infestation requiring them
Today is DH's bday, which is low key, but I got him his card and little gifties + serenade, of course. Dinner on Saturday with a friend to celebrate officially.
Happy mid-week to you all.

I wrote a post about how nice my past two days off were but something happened and it didn't post .

Nice, Brenda (I had to look it up, full disclosure.)
Also -- the style guide wars, heh.
Glad you enjoyed your time off, askye!

That’s nice askye!
I just scheduled my first colonoscopy for next month. Whee? I do think it’s obnoxious that they demand the name of a person who will be accompanying you before they let you schedule. Like wtf—who I can get is very much going to be dependent on when it is! Anti single people is what that is.

Don't swallow any of it, but sort of press them against your teeth and suck to kill the gagging taste of the drank.
