This is going to end up a weekend I want a weekend from if I end up doing all the webinars and phonebanks.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Where did you get that tee, Jessica?
H had heatstroke last week
Oh no! She should absolutely take it easy. I should try to see Sinners this weekend.
Today I've signed up for more postcarding and have started the deep clean of my apartment. I finished scrubbing the bathroom floor and baseboards and the hallway baseboards. I'm taking a break now, but I'd like to declutter the kitchen and get the baseboards in there done today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Postcards are great, but not as my part. I need too much help to make it happen.

And I'm not good on the phone. I'm glad you can fill that role.
Thanks, Jessica.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Epic.
Mr S is here for two nights. He and Gary may be going to the local fireworks, but with the boy being so unfocused that may not happen. I'm staying home either way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't regret skipping the parade (I took a nap to sleep off the end of the migraine), and going to Tim's brother and SiL's house did improve my mood. The great-nieces and great-nephew are hilarious and always entertaining.
Now that we're back home, our entire neighborhood smells like smoke and the backyard fireworks are non-stop. The cat is very unhappy.

Our wings are not tired.
We didn't go anywhere, but lots of neighbors were setting off fireworks. In particular the neighbor across the road and up a hillside had an impressive quantity of big bright boomers. Skinner was not pleased, but I drugged him and he settled down.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Local town's fireworks show didn't start until just after 11. Not sure what for the delay but it freaked out the cat since we'd just gone to bed.
