Thanks Una! I’m a big chicken too. It was definitely scary! He definitely felt better when he got his TEP and was able to voice again.

I like them because they don’t discriminate. They sell sizes to accommodate a wide range of bodies.

Yeah, he tends to work holidays (well, not Christmas or New Year's), as do I! As he and I have discussed before, the negative of being freelance/self-employed it not getting paid for holidays. Though because he arrived when I did, which was at noon, I have to wonder how many clients he's actually seeing today.

I can be bad about returning stuff, too. Or I think I like it, take the tags off, and change my mind when I go to wear it. I've heard good things about Torrid.

My partner had her therapy today as well. I am making yogurt and cleaning up after the weekend storms - it is beautiful here today and my park is packed. I hope the weather stays good this week - and dry. Tired of the tornado warnings

We had beautiful weather this whole weekend except for today. There is a lull in the rain now so we threw some quick stuff on the grill. I would love to learn how to make yogurt.

It makes sense if he wasn’t doing anything today to go and make some money.

It does make sense! Maybe he was doing something this morning, and that's why he got there 2 minutes before my session.

Though I think of one time when we had session with ex-MC on a similar holiday (may have been July 4 or Labor Day) and he said how part of him wanted to just be relaxing his backyard, but that he thought he'd be responsible and come to work. That did not feel good!

Glad you had a chance to grill!

Now my boredom made me stoop low enough to turn on the TV and watch The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. These ladies are out of their damn minds. I hope all this drama is scripted. It’s so bad it’s almost funny but not.

unaluna · May 27, 2024 at 05:35 PM

Omg. Lack of an avatar and similar letter tails led me to believe this post about RHONJ was from stopdog. I was like whaaaaat? Until i reread it in order and saw the rofl emoji. Then i thought, oh no shes really gone off her nut!

Jersey you absolutely made my day!

Also try the older episodes of Kate & Jon plus 8, 19 kids and counting.

A 1984 quote which I like: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Also for everyone who missed this:

I’m good at telling people to do this, not so good at following the same advice.

That's weird--I got a tornado warning alert (my blaring) on my iPhone, but my H didn't get one despite being in the same house, same carrier, same type of phone. And he was on a higher floor! I went in the basement for a bit. Thunderstorms now. At least it wasn't during a therapy session, like what happened a year or two ago when Dr. T's wife called and tried to get him to go to an inner room. Or when I was driving like the most recent one.

Do you only get tornadoes suddenly or can they track progress from a few hours before?

Dancer one is home from dancing far away. He'll be here for two weeks before he leaves to dance even farther away, so we are having a back yard hot dog roast in the cute tiny house, and having a game night together.

I do not miss the big family house overall, but today I was thinking about how much fun it was to play backyard badminton.

I'm currently participating in a year-long challenge to write a poem every day, so I used Memorial Day for the subject of today's poem. Other than that, didn't really do anything else.

My birthday is a summer holiday, so every year growing up we had a family barbecue where aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc would all come over to celebrate the holiday/my birthday. I do kinda miss the fun of family gatherings like that. One of the things we did every year was play badminton.

I hope your game night is just as fun as backyard badminton. Making memories in the backyard of the cute tiny house.

That’s okay. Chill days are good.
