Got In-Laws safely off this morning. They argued with each other the entire time they were here. It's their way, but it's very exhausting to be around.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Have been trying to install overhead track for new bi-fold door. Cannot get the screws to go in. My arms are like noodles and I'm about to give up for the day.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Glad you're clear of it, Scrappy.
My thoughts are turning to a new gardening season. Anyone else starting to plan their fall garden? The good news is that my mom is willing to give me some of the yard (the shadiest part). The bad news is that she'd prefer I used raised beds. I'd prefer raised beds except for the part where it's going to cost me hundreds of dollars for construction materials and soil.
So to stave off my cravings until I can work something out, I'm transplanting my raspberries into two EarthBox containers. It's not the ideal use for EarthBoxes, but I don't have any other planting pots that are as big as I need.
I'm already exhausted because I was a good girl and blew my wrists out first thing this morning cleaning the bathroom and shower/tub.

shrift - do you have any likely assistants to help you with either holding the track or the screws? If not, maybe giving up for the day is good. Ice and ibuprofen. It's not easy holding your arms above your head for long periods like that.

I have given up on the new screws provided, and am using the old screws. Two out of three screws in! I'm going to take a food break after the third.
I taped the track in place after trying to install it with my roommate holding the track, but that was just a disaster waiting to happen as there wasn't enough space for both of us in the laundry/utility area.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday P-C!
Takoma Park Folk Fest was nice, as it usually is. (and not boiling hot, like it often is)

Happy birthday, Polter!
Today is my dad's birthday, also, and he wanted to celebrate by going up to Davis and checking out the Bee Haven that opened yesterday. It's pretty awesome - very well labeled, chock full of bees (honey and native, quite a diversity of size) and plants and with nifty artwork. We had it all to ourselves, which was kind of nice.
After that we decided to go wander the arboretum for a bit, which turns out to mostly be a trail along Putah Creek. Very pleasant - spotted many fish, four turtles and a green heron. Also nice and shady, which was much appreciated today.
