We moved here to an invasion of ladybugs. As bug invasions go, not terrible, but very weird for a few weeks.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I bet it can't even flip the bird right now.
Flipping the bird is practically physical therapy!

Over three pounds a week is a lot David! They don’t usually recommend losing super fast, it can mean you’re losing more muscle. But the Pilates sounds awesome! Jealous.
We had 140 people at line dancing tonight. That’s about twice what we’d been averaging last year. It is too many people. My god.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We had a bug zapper shaped like a tennis racket for a while. That was pretty fun.
Also, after my dream where we all lost our jobs, a coworker lost his job today.
Oh no! I’m sorry.
And sorry for the stressful work environment, Jesse. I think of you often when I see certain things in the news. That can’t be fun.
Great sign!

Our wings are not tired.
Killed 8 this morning and 12 this afternoon. Die you little shit-flies!
That sounds very satisfying. We have house flies from time to time in Otter Lake. I will have to get one of those zappers.
I'm at my sister's for her 75th. My other sister and niece are here too. We all surprised her arriving yesterday. We went and visited my brother. He printed out his pet scan for all of us, for some reason he thought we each needed our own copy, and he has responded very well to the radiation and chemo. He looks like hell, but he is learning to eat again and has gained a little weight. He is still smoking, which is insane, but whatever. His body. The feeding tube should go away next week.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
First hummingbird of the season! Hooray!

I find the bug zapper racquet to be particularly satisfying when electrocuting mosquitoes, David.

Yay, hummingbirds and family gatherings!
And the satisfaction of bug zappers, if not the infestation requiring them
Today is DH's bday, which is low key, but I got him his card and little gifties + serenade, of course. Dinner on Saturday with a friend to celebrate officially.
Happy mid-week to you all.
