Random thing about me: the first popular song that I was aware of a a brand new thing that just happened as opposed to music that was just around and ubiquitous (like, say the Beatles), was Billy Don’t be a Hero. I remembered teenaged girls in the neighborhood weeping over their 45′s. It was a big deal. I don’t think I’d thought of it in decades until it was mentioned here.

* Saturday's RL adventure involved 3+ hours in the heat, mostly in the car, all on cement or black top. I am super prone to heat exhaustion and have likely had heat stroke once. It is not good. I think I'll be okay, now I've gotten inside, with fans, had time to cool down, eat, and dehydrate, but I'm pretty sure those are tomorrow's spoons I burned and I am a weepy mess. I'm going to try to get through some prepped links anyway and the like, but I'm not in good shape, so bear with please.

Bonus to Tavy who seriously damaged the area around the wound twice in the last ten hours, by clawing me there, using me as a trampoline, etc. The muscles are bruised and screaming. The wound has closed and I was moving better, so he forgot to be careful.

I want to thank my readers so much for being exactly that. It means a lot to me to see you out there engaging, still able to care about what's going on in the world. It is a hopeful thing.

If we give up the theocrats win.

So thank you.

* Sunday we were too messed up from exertion and heat exposure to do much. Head Millennial came and put in the main area air conditioning and then we had dinner and watched some Gentleman Jack. I was so wiped out after I took him home, that I just did the necessary things before bed and crashed.

He did come back Monday to start dealing with the kitchen and assorted other things. (There was a water based disaster in the pot cupboard Tuesday and what with all the other stuff going on, nothing had been done about it. I am still wiped out, but I wanted this aggregate published in time for Tuesday elections.

I was so proud of Livia. She spent most of her post nap evening on her living room chair and when we settled on the sofa she stayed in the chair! She had a pet and a nap and then she wanted tp play, so I wiggled a bitey thing until she took it up. all this with the Head Millennial on the other end of the sofa from us. she even stayed when tavy came and sat on me for a while, though she gave him serious side eye. After she went to look for patio rabbits even though Millennial was right on that end of the sofa. She walked past him multiple times afterward. So brave!

* I apparently need a root canal if I want to save a middle molar I need for chewing on the more functional side of my mouth so that has to go ahead of the oven fundraising wise. The lowest local estimate I could get was in the 1200.00 range. We are still trying to save for a working oven, but it's less important than being able to chew. I don't know how much I actually need there as the price fluctuates. we were $5-600 short when it was on sale. I am disabled and medically fragile. Not having a working oven is messing with my nutrition, but again being able to use that side of my mouth is worse. For extra fun, I also will need 375.00 for housing tax at the end of the summer:
