I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns of the day, askye! I hope today is good to you!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Erika, I like the poem a lot. Nilly & Shir - good to see your pixels. You are in my thoughts constantly.

Happy birthday, askye!
Grey, cold Monday morning but I did my 9am Pilates. And after four months of Pilates at three times a week, there's been a lot of progress. I reached a new plateau of competence before last week and I'm starting to do some intermediate level exercises.
We're waiting for Matilda's doctor to get back to her to discuss her bloodwork results. (No thyroid, low iron or Hep-C issues, but some clear deficiencies like Vitamin D, HGL etc. So probably needing some change to diet and supplements). She's also begun to taper off Zoloft and overlapping with beginning Prozac, so I'm hoping her body chemistry is sorted out before she starts college.
She was looking at some colorful bedding for her dorm room yesterday so she seems ready to make that change.
We had a good Father's Day yesterday. Emmett came over and I got a pizza. We didn't watch Local Hero - I'm saving that for my birthday. We watched Something Wild, which is a huge favorite from my 80s days, and I got to explain that Melanie Griffith is Dakota Johnson's mom. (And then that Melanie herself was a nepo-Baby, being the daughter of Tippi Hedren. )
Also, I managed to vacuum and clean house in advance of my MiL's visit so that's a plus. If I can get my dishes done and make an onerous phone call or two, I'll feel pretty productive at the beginning of my week.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Feelies! Su Tissue!
Matilda was all over seeing Su Tissue's name in the credits.
I explained to them both the Great Importance of the Feelies. Plus the cameos ("That's John Sayles, a director. There's John Waters!" "Those two ladies at the thrift store are Demme and David Byrne's moms!")
I forgot that Brenda Sauter was rocking a world class mullet in that movie.
