Holy shit, Bob Mould is playing The Ark in September.
In Manhattan for 36ish hours. Went to Nike store because the kid’s bday is Friday. Got myself some nice kicks. The kid is getting a gift card. 😁
It’s high school visit day for 8th graders at AAPS. Not quite ready for this whole thing.
On a brighter note, Pinball Pete’s has indeed found a new home. 500 E Liberty. Sweet. Totally sending the kid there when he’s “bored” during the summer breaks.
I honestly don’t know how Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson keep it together in these hearings. It must be like living in the Upside Down.
Just sitting here, still in disbelief and white-hot rage that SCOTUS is discussing whether women in Idaho have to literally be DYING before they get a medically necessary abortion, because a fetus apparently has equal rights to the whole grown-ass human upon which its very existence depends. I know how we got here….I am just soooooooo fucking angry that it was allowed to happen.
Man, I very much appreciate having the teen around to help with gardening tasks now. He gets a workout without complaining (!!), and I get more stuff done without breaking my back. Today’s job was moving the raised beds away from a fence so I can walk behind them - something I should’ve thought of two years ago BEFORE I filled them with soil. 🙄
Which basically means I’ve turned into my mom. 🤣
Also, if anyone knows of a gardening addiction support group, it might be time to send them my way. This has definitely become my annual spend-way-more-money-than-you-need-to hobby.
Just ate a huge spinach salad, with fresh spinach from my garden. 😳 Turns out being too lazy to pull up everything in the fall really paid off with the spinach! Too bad I’m about to dig up and move that bed.
