Thank you! One of my meetings did get cancelled, and then a meeting got added. Que sera sera. I'm just happy to be home where all of my stuff is.

Graduation day! What kind of weapon is she packing?

Press-on nails?

Ugh why am I so freaking tired today? I went to bed on time but could NOT get up this morning and still am dying to go back to sleep (…I’ve only been up for like 45’min, and only because I had an 8am work meeting). My head kinda hurts so it may be that. Which implies to me that it IS the work stress/lack thereof which has been making my migraines worse/better (I only had one during my month long vacation last year, as opposed to 4-6/month usually, and then only had like 2 in March/April when work was super slow)

Hope your head eases up, meara.

I woke up with a headache the other day and it took coffee, two glasses of water, Tylenol and a hot shower to get out from under it. Unpleasant start to the day.

All is quiet here the day after graduation. Matilda is sleeping downstairs in the Garden Apartment.

Friday morning we fly down to LA for our weekend getaway.

But today the only Action Item on my agenda is contacting my CPA.

It's gorgeous out and I wish I could run but the stadium is still closed for another round of graduations, including the one for Matilda's beau.

I'll just get my steps in though, and I think my bookstore friend, Eleanor, is back from her honeymoon in Bali. So that'll be nice to see her.

Fun!

Not as fun.

Eleanor, is back from her honeymoon in Bali

Back to fun!

I have an orthodontist consultation today (I failed at Invisalign). Then I have dinner tonight w/ three of my favorite people -- we all used to work together at a law firm when we were babies, and we've stayed in touch and celebrated each other's birthdays with dinners and such.

Our wings are not tired

Friday morning we fly down to LA for our weekend getaway.

I hope it's a great getaway. We will be flying out of Burbank on Friday morning.

We are dealing with ten kinds of bureaucracy simultaneously, and I'm exhausted. Still dragging from the crazy day Monday.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Boo on bureaucracy.

erin, I lol’ed.

Set up an oscillating fan with streamers. Or a mini air dancer!

So festive!! Those things always remind me of the Better Off Ted episode where they hire white people to follow around Black people because the motion sensors can’t “see” them.

I am recovering from food poisoning, as those in you on fb know. I finally dragged my sorry ass to Urgent Care and got ABs and Zofran.

I am daring some mashed potatoes right now and resisting the urge to eat the whole half pound until I see how they land. I basically haven’t had any protein since Sunday night and I’m still rehydrating. My cheekbones are a little on the Spike side.

Not a single box is packed. I panicked yesterday and today I am resigned. I will throw money at the problem. It’s fine. I’ve got back tax refunds coming to repay what I’m taking from retirement to make this move happen. I can do this. It just sucks.

See, this city is literally trying to kill me!! Did I eat two cooked oysters in June? Yes. But the charge stands.
