It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have now added on a head spa treatment and a pedicure to my weekend of denial. Later I am going to a friend’s for a get together on her rooftop to watch the neighborhood fireworks. If it’s as hot as I think it will be I may not stay too long. H had heatstroke last week and is still a bit shaky so there’s an out.

What I really want to do is skip it and go see Sinners tonight. But I missed her birthday party a month ago so I need to do some showing up.

I too am celebrating my new haircut. I’ll throw a couple of snaps in the FB group.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Where did you get that tee, Jessica?

H had heatstroke last week

Oh no! She should absolutely take it easy. I should try to see Sinners this weekend.

Today I've signed up for more postcarding and have started the deep clean of my apartment. I finished scrubbing the bathroom floor and baseboards and the hallway baseboards. I'm taking a break now, but I'd like to declutter the kitchen and get the baseboards in there done today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Always Anti-fascist!

Postcards are great, but not as my part. I need too much help to make it happen.

And I'm not good on the phone. I'm glad you can fill that role.

Thanks, Jessica.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Epic.

Mr S is here for two nights. He and Gary may be going to the local fireworks, but with the boy being so unfocused that may not happen. I'm staying home either way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't regret skipping the parade (I took a nap to sleep off the end of the migraine), and going to Tim's brother and SiL's house did improve my mood. The great-nieces and great-nephew are hilarious and always entertaining.

Now that we're back home, our entire neighborhood smells like smoke and the backyard fireworks are non-stop. The cat is very unhappy.
