I am meeting two friends for an early "don't feel like celebrating the 4th, but would like to see you guys" dinner... at 4p to avoid fireworks' traffic.
No plans for today or tomorrow, but I'll think on it.
Just really depleted of spirit.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ethan is still recovering from his foot surgery so we would have stayed home regardless (there are no good fireworks options near us that wouldn't require a long walk) but also I have never in my life felt less like celebrating America than this fucking year.
So instead I am lounging around in a "ban the fascists / save the books" shirt playing online Wingspan on my phone while intermittently helping Dylan fill in all his pre-college paperwork. I could be doing yardwork (the weeds have TAKEN OVER my front yard garden and are beginning to attack the house) but I've got freshly painted nails and a new dye job I don't want to spoil, so I'm sticking to the couch.

Always Anti-fascist!
This is going to end up a weekend I want a weekend from if I end up doing all the webinars and phonebanks.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I have now added on a head spa treatment and a pedicure to my weekend of denial. Later I am going to a friend’s for a get together on her rooftop to watch the neighborhood fireworks. If it’s as hot as I think it will be I may not stay too long. H had heatstroke last week and is still a bit shaky so there’s an out.
What I really want to do is skip it and go see Sinners tonight. But I missed her birthday party a month ago so I need to do some showing up.
I too am celebrating my new haircut. I’ll throw a couple of snaps in the FB group.
