Happy birthday, Steph!
My niece’s family were here all last week (they live in Wisconsin), so I spent every non-work waking moment doing family things or gardening. Four kids under 6 = a lot of noise and chaos. So while I was vaguely aware of events in Iran and Israel, I didn’t really have time to focus on them. On one hand, it seems frivolous to be playing water fights with the kids when there’s a war happening. On the other hand, not playing water fights with the kids wouldn’t help anything. So. Did you know they make reusable water balloons? ‘Cause they do.
Sushi was takeout because we didn't want to go back out in the swamp-ass weather. Very tasty sushi!
Happy birthday sushi!
I had a nice healthy salad. And then I followed it with a whole bunch of cheese and nuts and some leftover tiramisu. Whoops.
I love all those things. But the order sounds like when I eat candy after I brush. D'oh.
Happy Tep day.
Many happy returns of the day, Tep. Glad the surgery went well, and I'm awfully glad you're here.
The Mets just signed left-handed pitcher Dicky Lovelady to their roster
That is for sure a baseball name if I've ever heard one!
I'm more than half convinced that there is a time traveling baseball player on an important mission from 1904.
I also celebrated your b'day with take-out sushi!
I have survived 24 years in Chicago without AC and the last two days have given me pause. I'm used to having a week or two of this in August. Not June. I may have to give in for the sake of my poor 20 yr old cat. I can't seem to convince her to lay on anything damp or cold.
I am endlessly jealous of people in California who can just walk outside and pick an avocado from their own magical avocado tree.
Growing up in Florida we had a magical mango tree in our backyard that produced incredibly flavorful fruit by the bushel. More than we could eat, really.
... I might have been a bit more excited about the appearnt ceasefire if it weren't for the non stop "get ready to get to shelter" emergency messages we were starting to get over an hour ago, at 5:11am local time (these are the pre siren notices).
I returned the cat back to the carrier twice by now and I think he'll might murder me if he gets a chance.

Unexpected source of casualty!
