I shared that response with my wife after she got off the phone from dealing with the latest bit of family drama, and after appreciating the invocation of one of her favorite movies she said, “well, that’s about right”.
I declined to remind her of the implications of turning down my willingness to rebook our trip to Alabama for November-December-ish rather than June given that some of the recent drama is a dying central air conditioning unit…
At least it’s a dry heat. Oh wait, you said Alabama not Arizona? Yep, you’re in for a sweaty time. Sorry.
The local TV weathercasters down there take the summer off and are replaced by a recording indicating the forecast is “hazy, hot, and humid with afternoon pop-up thunderstorms”.
My driver’s license expires Monday. When I upgraded my license to an enhanced one last year, they told me that updating my photo at that time would let me renew online. I didn’t like the new photo, but no appointments were available, so I debated whether to just renew online vs wait as a walk in. Today I tried to renew online, but got a message that I wasn’t eligible. The DOL is opening late today for training, so as I’m in line waiting for them to open, I overheard someone else say they could book an appointment, so I tried. Appointment successfully scheduled for opening time today.
I mentioned my project with Ancestry a few posts above
My wife probably shouldn’t have been annoyed, as that mother lode ended up being in her family tree too.
Instead, she has to endure my new pet name for her, “cousin,” as we’re supposedly 23rd cousins, twice removed.
I mixed up the last of my sourdough starter with regular flour and yeast. It baked up real nice and is now cooling.
