Narnia Fic Exchange! and this and that
Sign up are live!!
How are you?
Work has eased up a bit for me. I'm no longer pulling 14 to 18 hour days dealing with idiots with COVID-19-related snake oils. I'm still not braining very well -- I was unable to determine which was was right if I was heading southbound, east or west? (Yes, I know, it's East but I just had to think about it, again). This week seems to be busier after it being pretty quiet over the 4th. My spousal unit took a new position which is causing me intense anxiety, my spawn is volunteering for different D Congressional campaigns. After some very difficult times earlier this summer, Komo is healthy for the moment and gaining back some of his attractive chonk (B12, Thyroid meds, probiotic, ceterizine, and ultra-allergen free food). I still don't like him very much and Thorin, I regret to say, has severe dysplasia and arthritis. He also had some terrible tooth problems, had an extraction and other procedures and is just not himself. But he is the love of my life. On the other hand, the boys both LOVE rolling in hot grass on summer days.
I failed at sourdough levain this weekend. And tried another cookie recipe this evening that also failed. Leinenkugel summer shandies are delicious.
I signed up for the AU Exchange which was the most complex sign up I've ever done. OMG. I'm really not good at this kind of complex thing with So Many Tags. I'm such a moron. Self loathing and self hate are very strong right now, violently so, even. I just really despise myself deeply.
I've been watching Star Wars with some of the neighbor kids. We're doing an outdoor showing this week, with a projection screen, blankets on the lawn and whatnot. That should be very fun. Another generation of Padawan learners going through the trials.
So, that's all here.

This is your friendly reminder to keep focusing on what you've gotten right.

It's summer, so thinking seems to be very hard these days. Even simple things seem to require both motivation and focus, neither of which I want to deal with when it's hot and humid out there. :-) Glad to hear the dogs love romping in the grass and I hope they both continue to stay or get well.
Maybe you should skip the baking and move on to ice cream instead? I've got a recipe bookmarked for making ice cream in a mason jar that I'm contemplating trying out since I don't have an ice cream maker. Hot days call for cold treats instead!
