On the downside my wasp-stung foot still hurts a little.
On the plus side, Scola arrives today.
It's a little-known fact that the best cure for a wasp sting is a visit from Scola.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Thank you! Not a ton of celebrating today, but we'll maybe go out to eat, and then I'll do something with my local friend this weekend.
Husband has met neighbors and had long conversations. I have thankfully avoided having to participate in those conversations.

Our wings are not tired.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday dcp!

Happy birthday, dcp!
Well, fuck, I signed Matilda up for a new round of Pilates classes and got her out of bed and sent her there. And they said, "No, you start next week."
It's so freakin' hard getting anything started with her. Not that this is her fault - it was a miscommunication between me and the staff.
Anyway, Scola and I will be off to see The Phoenician Scheme this afternoon and have lunch in Japantown.
Did you all notice that it's June? We're almost halfway through 2025.
