Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

sj, that's so cool!

meara, I am living vicariously through your Facebook posts.

-t and Jen: Midnight Burger season finale tonight!!! If we don't get the story behind Leif's arm and foot, I will lose my tiny little mind. (Also, obviously, they'd better find Frank and bring him back in this episode and not drag it out next season.)

Thrive to spite them

Iceland yay!!

I have switched my work hours to 8-5 instead of 9-6. Works better for work. They would love if i would start at 7 but I just cant. Especially when I keep waking up at 2 or 3 am and not be able to go back to sleep.

I've decicded on my glasses. Have to order them today. I'm in desperate need for a haircut and I want to start doing it myself but right now it's so overgrown I'm intimidated and I want to change the cut up slightly so I'm going to see if I can get it cut today and then maintain it.

It's so freaking hot again. And we are in a hear advisory again. I've been in the backroom and I'm not as overheated as I thought but I'm taking extra long breaks.

I also need a new bra especially since I bought this cute flamingo print dress. It's a navy blue background with flamingos. It's this one from Walmart. It's there new line that is more fashionable. Lilly Pulitzer inspired pieces, etc.

M really liked it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cute dress!

I keep forgetting about Leif's arm! They tricked us before with him finding out what happened before he showed up at the Horizon but we didn't, right? So, yeah, we're due. Very excited for the drop tonight, so convenient when they happen on a Friday like this

We definitely didn't, and I am dying to find out the story behind it!

Today E is 18!!!! I can't believe it.

I remember the first time I saw him. Mom and i drove up to Charleston where they were living and she saw L's car in the parking lot of their grocery store. So we went in and tracked them down. E was in his carrier and the first glimpse i had of him was the top of his head.

Which I can now only see if he sita down since he is 6'2.

I haven't been the most involved aunt and I missed a lot of him growing up but I love him so much. And my brother and E's step mom (who is really his Mom) have done an incredible job raising him

Well, phew! That was a hell of a whirlwind of an epic season finale, Midnight Burger! Party at the Sheepseye (Sheep's Eye?)! I think I have to listen again very soon. There's just so much. It honestly could have been a series finale, which has me SO curious about next season. I mean, we certainly got a hint...

Can't wait for Shift Notes.

I got everything I wanted: an explanation for Leif's arm and foot (I was NOT expecting Meesock!), a resolution to the cowcatcher (although that was a little too deus ex machina for my taste), and at least confirmation that Frank is alive, if not rescued. Oh! And Caspar actually said "I love you" to Ava, holy shit!!!

I definitely need to re-listen to it.


JenP - Aug 15, 2026 9:22:21 am PDT #13572 of 13614

Agreed on all of that! I actually laughed out loud when Meesock said, "You forgot to arm it." I have been low key worrying about the cow-catcher ever since he hit send. Ha!

And I love you/I know was awesome and so earned! And she called him Schmoopie at one point way earlier... I thought, "Aw, how cute, and that's probably all we'll get ."

And I really want some adventure time with David, and I have always hoped he'd revisit the transporting lawyer !

And, and, and... so much to love!

I'm glad we actually got to hear Frank and Trinket (sp?) interact, so I was good with putting a pin in Frank. Those two kids are adorbs .

I think I actually ship Trinkett and Frank harder than I shipped Caspar and Ava. I just love them.


JenP - Aug 15, 2026 10:46:30 am PDT #13574 of 13614

Yeah, 100% on the shipping harder part. You can know, by a smidge.
