Sounds like a fun weekend, meara!

Askye, great that you're feeling like doing the creative stuff and feeling stronger. I fell out of swimming and reading lately, so I really want to get back to both.

Today is another get shit done day, so... fold/put away rest of laundry and focus on job search for Jen stuff. Oh, and change the cat litter. And either go swimming or read for an hour. Baby steps.

the National weather service gave accurate predictions and warnings but they can only do so much. Mandatory evacuation orders need to come from the local authorities and there were failures on that level.

Yup, I've been seeing the same. The NWS warnings were clear and specific, but local Texas authorities didn't react until 7-8 hours later. And of course, gutting FEMA hasn't helped.

Go team swimming readers!

Looking out my window and the skies are milky white with fog. After several summers with minimal fog we've been socked in since June. I do prefer the blue sky days, but I have to say it's been good for my sweater and scarf game.

I found this cool small company from Portland, ME called Heading Prints, and they base all their scarves on vintage book designs.

For example: [link]

They also have cool scarf rings and bandanas. The only negative is that they do small runs and they sell out very quickly. But they're beautifully made.

I got this bandana just because it is JZ's favorite visual theme - a girl reading a book: [link]

Back to Pilates this morning after a week off (summer break for them to maintain all the machines). Pretty sure I've lost my entire core.

So a little health ~ma for my dad.

He had his yearly colonoscopy and had complications last year and again this year where about 3 weeks after the procedure he starts bleeding. He was in the hospital and they said it was fixed and released him. But he just has gone back to the hospital because was feeling weak and out of breath. He had called his doctor who said he was released too soon so a friend is taking him back

I hate being so far away.

I was just viciously conned by a canned iced tea. It said 3g sugar so I thought, "Oh good, just a tiny bit sweet".... No. Oh no. Turns out its frekkin Stevia and now my mouth tastes like ashes as bitter as my cold, dead, heart.

That’s scary askye! Good luck.

I am two words away from queen bee in the spelling today! Will let them percolate in the back of my brain for a bit. But got wordle in 6 by the skin of my teeth.

My leftovers are tasty (and though $20 it was SO much food) but really need more sauce. Next time!
