Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think I may be early days into the whole peri-menopause thing, and the whole business is made more opaque as I have the IUD-of-no-thank-you, but thanks for the rec, Plei!

In other news, I submitted 2 applications yesterday, I have a second-round interview on Monday, and I have the house fully to myself for a week, as everyone else is in Arizona.

So, off to puttering I go.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good luck with that Debet!

Today is the third anniversary of JZ's funeral (not the memorial). Which I only remember because of FB memories.

Got me a little teary taking me back to that moment.

On my way back from coffee and a quick trip to the green grocer, I saw a hummingbird on my way home. I haven't seen one in many months.

They are supposed to be a sign of good luck. Or maybe JZ sent a message. or your neighborhood has(Apparently) tasty lantana flowers.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I also strongly recommend the Ologies podcast on menopause: [link]

Honestly, I recommend the Ologies podcast in general; it’s well-researched, smart, funny, and profane. There is no bad there.

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Tep. Adding that podcast to my list.

ltc is currently beta reading a new novel for an author we met at a book fair over the summer. The author reached out to me via BlueSky. How did I raise a child who is so much cooler than I could ever hope to be?

This too shall pass.

Ltc clearly inherited her coolness.

This kid goes to book fairs and asks thoughtful, intelligent questions while my mind goes blank and my tongue gets tied up.
