Man, the Wimbledon Men's Final was BANANAS.

amych, yikes! Glad you and yours are all right! That could have been really bad.

I've only been awake for 6 hours and I want to go back to sleep. Partly because of the thunderstorm, maybe, probably mostly because of the ridiculous amount of bread I've eaten the past couple days. Whence my seeming inability to stop consuming foods that are bad for me?

Also, marrying a Prince shouldn't be a depressing thing! I hope she loves him a little, anyway. What's the deal with them "catching" her at the Nice airport? I imagine them dragging her off screeching in handcuffs. I mean, if she was running away from him... IDK, isn't this kinda scary?

I am about to declare fava beans Not Worth the Trouble.

I bet she loves him and is sad because he's been cheating (how old is the latest kid?) and will in all likelyhood continue to do so (regardless of what he said to get her ass off that plane).

I keep getting off the sofa with thoughts of Doing Stuff, but it never seems to really take.

That is so scary, amych! I am glad there is not any great damage and you are both OK.

This is me. And I really have to find my keys this weekend or I am going to have to confess. And probably pay to install a new lock on my apartment, because apparently my landlord doesn't have a way to make a new key, just has a master key.

I did start a new to me John Irving book, and I got to read it inside this "fort" that my neighbor's grandons made in this giant bush in our yard. I have been wanting to get inside and read for so long, and they cleared it out and put chairs in it! I used to read outside sitting in trees as a kid, but this is like a little house made of branches, and gets s nice breeze.

I also watched a documentary on Hulu about discrimination against lesbian basketball players at Penn State. (It is really good and I recommend t, as it also deals with the power of the athletic departments in colleges as well as systemic discrimination for about 25 years by one coach) Then I started to watch the next LGBT docmentary on there, and t was produced by Penn State. Weird.

Well, I managed to mop the kitchen floor and run to Good Will and the grocery store. And now I'm back on the futon. It's too hot out there to do any yard work, but I have laundry I need to take off the line.

Then I might nap. Or read about zombies.

I've actually managed to be somewhat productive today, in between bouts of couch sitting. I've been to Target, the pet food store, and TJs, plus neatened the front room, done the litter boxes, taken out the trash and some recycling, paid bills and rent, and made a massage appointment for next week.

I was going to do research for my Hawaii trip, but I think it may be nap time instead.

Suela, I just got back from the East Bay in all its sweltery glory. Kitchen floor, Goodwill and groceries are more than enough for one day.

And, yup, definitely hitting NCR's inbox, no question. There's a former local journalist on staff there who's already written about the protests and will definitely be receptive.

Today I've only managed to lift weights, watch Wimbledon, and go for a 3.5 mile walk. Now I must go cook, for I am hungry.
