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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Thrive to spite them

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

Anyway it was nice. Walked into a shitshow at work because our overnight crew is not good

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Deep cut, brenda

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.

ENTIRELY OBNOXIOUS!

Lemon wedges.

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