Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
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.
YAY NORMAL! I got a mammogram last week, and it, too, was NORMAL. I still have to get the ultrasound in the fall because dense tissue, but all looks good for now.
Dudes, I was at yearbook camp with six of my staffers this week, and I am TIRED. Teacher!me had to poke her head up out of her cozy summer den and be professional and wrangle teenagers. These six girls are lovely humans, and they weren't a problem at all, but I did have to deal with navigational issues (usually meticulously planned me ended up taking them to the WRONG SAN DIEGO UNIVERSITY — I somehow missed there are three of them) and once we got to the right place, there were BED BUGS in one of the girls' rooms, which led to all kinds of shenanigans, as you can imagine.
They did amazing work on this year's theme package, and I'm very glad I came. I am also very glad I get to go home tomorrow and not be a teacher for a few more weeks.
Yay for more normal!
It's farmers market morning, and I'm going to visit my aunt who just had a Mohs thing on her lower eyelid (only one "round" of cutting, which is great -- had reconstructive surgery the same day!)
In between, I do job hunting stuff. And the laundry I did not do yesterday, oops.
Ah, normal. Such a nice word.
My son is shattered and brokenhearted because his GF of 6 years walked out. I don't know if it can be repaired. They are both at fault, although he is way more to blame. They are both deeply flawed humans, but my heart hurts for them. They are both communicating with me, although not so much with each other. Maybe some relationship~ma would help?
Oh, geez, I'm sorry to hear that, Laura. Relationship ~ma to them.
Oh, I’m sorry, Laura. You’ve mentioned her with a lot of fondness before. I hope he’s okay.
Oh, Laura, I’m so sorry for your kid.
Laura, that sucks. Much relationship~ma to them.
My brother gets in town today! Hooray! My only plan for the day is to get him at the airport and deliver him to my mom's house, and then hang out (and I'd better get dinner out of the deal). I suppose I should hop in the shower.
Yay for Bro time!
Yeah, my son is 33, and I have known her for 6 years, so I am well acquainted with their flaws. I hope they can both work on their issues together. Who knows. I am here to listen to both of them without judgment, and they are at least talking to me, if not so much with each other. He is blasting her with messages, so I advised him to give her some space. While also suggesting she express her issues with him.
That they are both talking to you sounds like a good thing.
I got myself to the sale location and have logged in to be able to work but only now realize I did not bring a power cord for ye olde laptop. Oops. The battery may last the half day before I would be offline anyway, we shall see...
Have fun with your bro, Tep! And in the shower, if you like, why not?
Whee, have fun, Steph!
Good luck at the register today, -t.
Peaches, apples, blueberries, corn, cucumbers, baby tomatoes, and grown tomatoes is today's haul. But not in huge amounts, because there are only two of us plus I'm taking some to my aunt.
I want to do something with a couple of peaches besides just eat them. But I don't know what yet. Suggestions welcome.
