Anya ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Feeling relieved for the citizens of Minnesota. It must have been very stressful with that guy on the loose.
Feeling worse for the Middle East, with too many people wanting to kill each other.
Ah, Monday. I have to get productive. I have been doing nothing but watching streaming TV, with a daily swimming break. My plans for accomplishing much didn't happen yesterday, except for meal planning.
In much better news, today is Askye's birthday! I hope you have a delightful day and that the year to come brings improved health, along with plenty of joy and laughter.
Happy Birthday, askye! May it be wonderful, and may your year ahead rock.
Happy birthday, Askye!!
Many happy returns of the day, askye! I hope today is good to you!
Erika, I like the poem a lot. Nilly & Shir - good to see your pixels. You are in my thoughts constantly.
Happy birthday, askye!
Grey, cold Monday morning but I did my 9am Pilates. And after four months of Pilates at three times a week, there's been a lot of progress. I reached a new plateau of competence before last week and I'm starting to do some intermediate level exercises.
We're waiting for Matilda's doctor to get back to her to discuss her bloodwork results. (No thyroid, low iron or Hep-C issues, but some clear deficiencies like Vitamin D, HGL etc. So probably needing some change to diet and supplements). She's also begun to taper off Zoloft and overlapping with beginning Prozac, so I'm hoping her body chemistry is sorted out before she starts college.
She was looking at some colorful bedding for her dorm room yesterday so she seems ready to make that change.
We had a good Father's Day yesterday. Emmett came over and I got a pizza. We didn't watch Local Hero - I'm saving that for my birthday. We watched Something Wild, which is a huge favorite from my 80s days, and I got to explain that Melanie Griffith is Dakota Johnson's mom. (And then that Melanie herself was a nepo-Baby, being the daughter of Tippi Hedren. )
Also, I managed to vacuum and clean house in advance of my MiL's visit so that's a plus. If I can get my dishes done and make an onerous phone call or two, I'll feel pretty productive at the beginning of my week.
The Feelies! Su Tissue!
Matilda was all over seeing Su Tissue's name in the credits.
I explained to them both the Great Importance of the Feelies. Plus the cameos ("That's John Sayles, a director. There's John Waters!" "Those two ladies at the thrift store are Demme and David Byrne's moms!")
I forgot that Brenda Sauter was rocking a world class mullet in that movie.
Happy Birthday, askye!

Yay #TeamProzac. After trying every damn SSRI, I'm amused that the granddaddy SSRI, the OG, has worked so well for me for so long. (And the beauty of Prozac is that its half-life is so incredibly long that you can miss a dose without getting brain zaps. Although I'm not encouraging Matilda to skip Prozac doses.)
My fever was gone when I woke up (yay!), but it came back after lunch (boo!) and is hanging around even though I took Tylenol. This illness can hit the bricks any time now. Fortunately the article I had to edit today was short, so I might go take a nap.
