Oof, meara! Glad you have workarounds!
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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

Oh goodness. Glad others were overstocked. I’m hoping to get some camping in this summer.
I did get a cute new haircut today. And a friend brought by some fresh St-Viateur bagels direct from Montreal.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Bagels are a sign of love, I always say. Especially from Montréal.
In related news, housemate and I will be going to boichik bagels in Berkeley to pick up an order.

Our wings are not tired.
I decided to meet up with my son for dinner last night since his GF would be working late. Told him to meet us at Grande's Pizza. As we left, I messaged him our ETA. We get there, no son. 5-10 minutes later still no son so I try and call, but no cell signal or internet. (a common issue up here). More and more time passes and now over a half hour so DH goes walking to try and grab signal. He finally reaches him about 40 minutes late and son is in full on panic mode. Getting ready to drive the route we would take to see if we are in a ravine or something, because both our phones are offline.
It ends up that there are 3 Grande's, but I have only been to one of them. Another is just a couple blocks from his place so he assumed I was going there. I felt so bad. I didn't panic when I couldn't reach him. because I thought maybe something came up, but he was totally freaked out.
And so goes the reversal of parent/child/parent roles.

Just got my summer Covid vax. You know, while we still have vaxes.
Oh, geez, Laura. That's no fun for anyone. Glad it was just a mix-up, but still ...

I have totally done that before Laura. The best one was when a friend and I arranged to meet up after work at “the new Mexican place on Grand” and I went all the way downtown to a place near her office and she took the bus out to my neighborhood to a place near my home. Both on Grand though so we were half right.

What is everyone doing this holiday weekend?
We are doing picnic stuff at my nephews, then the boat parade on Otter Lake. We aren't participating this year, just hanging out on the dock and cheering them on. I think I am just going to enjoy the neighborhood fireworks rather than driving somewhere and having to park and walk. Just not up to it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What is everyone doing this holiday weekend?
Parade in 40 minutes (it's just one block over), then up to Tim's brother and SiL's house for a picnic later. Tomorrow a pool party with friends. Sunday, collapse, recover, get groceries.
