Such a beautiful, pleasant day in the DC region today. I've spent a good portion just lying on the porch loveseat thing under an umbrella listening to birds and neighborhood sounds. So relaxing.

Happy Birthday, Shir!!!

Oh, yes, happy birthday. Glad you had a good time with your friends. I used to wonder, in high school and college, before everything in the Middle East got so stark and one-sided, how people did, you know, all their other stuff with all of that in the background. sadly, I think we're finding out and it SUCKS. So not a fan.

I've just skimmed through 100+ messages...so, Happy Birthday, Shir!

Also health~ma to all who need it, especially Tim. And, as always, fuck cancer!

Here's my onerous to-do list for this week that I'm posting here for accountability:

Make PT appointment for my defiant bad hip
Make mammogram appointment
Make colonoscopy appointment
Message OB/GYN (Tim's cancer is HPV positive, and I may need to be tested)
Follow up with PCP about Zepbound
Make haircut appointment
Continue to try super hard not to freak out

Phew, that's a lot. Can you put off the mammogram for a week or two?

Jacqueline used to reference herself in the way that The Tick's addressed Arthur ("You're an anxious little dude.")

She would just announce it with flat finality: "I am an anxious little dude."

Sun finally came out! Fuckin' yay!

Filthy hippies all strewn about Haight Street for the stupid Dead and Company shows. Literally, they are very dirty, smoking nonstop, notably stupid (as evidenced by every damn thing they say) and they are leaving trash everywhere.

Phew, that's a lot. Can you put off the mammogram for a week or two?

Mostly I just want to get it scheduled. I can schedule it for a couple-few weeks out. Same with the colonoscopy.

She would just announce it with flat finality: "I am an anxious little dude."

That's super accurate for me. One uber-anxious little dude.

All the hugs in the world to (((Steph))).

Today was the nicest day of the summer we’ve had in NYC. I went and shot 2 rolls of film. 14K steps.

Also, this happened up the street from me this morning (no one was hurt).

Here's my onerous to-do list for this week that I'm posting here for accountability:

That is quite a lot of adulting there. Get 'er done ~ma.

Yay for beautiful summer days! And yikes on the linky!! You have to wonder how many structures are unstable.

My son is all moved in. He shaved his very long beard into just a bit of short stash and goatee. It looks nice. His hair is longer than mine, not to mention thicker and prettier. Now we need to find something affordable for him in Florida. Not an easy task. Everything I find is a room in someone's house. We have three months to figure it out, but October isn't the best time to find something when everyone is heading south.

In a blast from the past Buffista birthday news, today is Deena's birthday.
