No flooding for me but the pics I’ve seen from Weston are awful. The Walmart is practically afloat

Darn it if the World Cup half time show wasn’t delightful, if slightly bewildering

As a competitive swimmer, I mostly swam butterfly, IM, and distance free. My left shoulder was always sore, but like, whatever. Now I’m 40 and my left shoulder is always sore and it really sucks!

Also please enjoy this 1930s photo of my great grandparents and grandfather

Summatime on a plate! Gluten free too

I’ve swapped my lunch salad for pb&j

My therapist said “oh no, time is up, we didn’t even get to the diarrhea parasite anxiety.”

Hey, something good for once!

Heard Country Roads playing in the background of Wings/Sky game… why? Why has the rest of the country claimed our song?

Having to also worry about my daily lunch salad giving me parasites and 💩 is really more than my brain can handle currently

Y’all, shouldn’t there be two more? Don’t these things happen in threes?

Ahh the downside to yesterday’s relaxation… jelly arms from mowing and weedeating both mine and my aunt’s yards back to back. Done before the rain though!

I feel like I haven’t had a day off in forever. It’s too rainy for yard work and my wife let me off the hook for other chores and I will be napping and reading DCC and watching World Cup and I’m so happy 💜

I got to use my notary stamp today so I’m feeling fancy

Seems like a good time to remind people the USWNT has won 4 World Cups! ⚽️

Gorgeous double rainbow in CRW right now! I’d take a pic but the damn Ferris wheel would be in the background.

It’s almost fireworks time in Thomas!

Y’all I can see that m-fer from my house 🤦‍♀️

american history

Elecampane / Inula helenium is one of my very favorite plants. Named for Helen of Troy, some stories say she carried it with her when she fled Sparta, others say it grew where her tears fell

I call this a crawdad, how bout you?

Dad took me to my first concert* circa 1997 so it was super fun to see the Spin Doctors with him again thirty-ish years later!

I forgot how tedious woodburning is. I do not have the patience for this craft!

Help! I just cut all my garlic scapes, what should I do with ‘em?

On a happier note, CRW’s Pride festivities are this weekend and you can catch me marching in the parade and performing on stage with the Rainbow Pride Band and Charleston Pride Choir 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride Month! Today a coworker used the word “gay” to mean “stupid” so it’s been great so far.

If you were the stencils that I bought weeks ago for a project I’m just getting around to doing at the last minute, where would you be?

Memorial Day is one of my very few paid days off. Very grateful to sit on my porch while it rains. Earlier I bought yarn to make a gift for someone I love. Later I have choir practice. A very good day.

Milkweed 🧡

I over extended myself yesterday AND forgot to take my medicine so today has been mostly brain zaps and falling asleep after attempting small tasks.

Comfort watching Murderbot

I have one that was passed down to me. Alas, it has no spiders!

I’m so excited for election results in today’s WV primary! Maybe not so excited when I see the results 🙃

Ugh he’s not even from here! Go back to New York or wherever!

My wife and I got stopped at a “safety checkpoint” the other day and the cops were all “hey white ladies, y’all need a car inspection, have a great night!” and that is mainly how they are detaining “illegal” folks around here.

The South didn't even wait for the ink to dry before gutting Black representation. If you need more proof that systemic racism is alive and voting rights are in danger, you’re choosing to stay blind.

Derrick White deserves a win here

The Celtics game is physical! Messi keeps shooting free kicks and corners! I can’t watch both screens at once!

OUT: John Brown Did Nothing Wrong IN: John Brown Didn’t Do Those Things Enough

What did Jayson Tatum ever do to you, Sports God??

I just early voted! Parked right outside, no wait, and the volunteer team at the Girl Scout building on Virginia St are always the best! BUT it is dumb that I had to show photo ID this year.
