Is being happy really worth this much sweat? I feel great on Prozac, but MY GOD THE SWEATING. I just went on a walk. It is hot and humid out, so yes, I should sweat. But I had to wipe my eyes every 5 minutes because sweat dripped in them. And a headband won't help because this is forehead sweat. I just took a cold shower, and I'm still sweating. The clothes I wore walking were 100 percent soaked. I saw people out and about who looked cute and not drenched in sweat, and I immediately hated them. And I don't have central air. I need fall to arrive in the worst way. Everybody who encounters me does, too. I'm happy but so, so disgusting.
Today is the best. The weather is absolutely perfect. There's a strong breeze off the river and I'm watching ospreys hunt. All I have done so far is read, eat, and drink and that's all that is on the agenda for the rest of the day.
I just started season 4 of The West Wing sitting on my back patio on a cloudy day after painting my nails. This is the best day I've had in a long time.

FI's dad called yesterday, he and his wife wanted to come over and see DS. Okay, they're exhausting, but whatever. They brought FI's grandmother with them.
I'm visiting the grandparents at the old folks home. (And boy am I tired).
Special labor day lunch. American flags at every table. Flag wear on pretty much all residents and staff (bonus if you decorated your wake or wheelchair). And placemats with a flag and a Fuck yeah eagle.
My grandpa got confused and wished someone a happy 4th.

Does your DH/SO do this?
So, I'm home doing mindless homework and have the TV on as well. He comes in and is like, "are you watching that?"? Um, yes, yes, I am. Why else would it be on? I'd just told him, that I was doing homework, that didn't need intense concentration, hence the TV being on.
If he'd like to change the channel, just ask, but don't ask an obvious question. For some reason, this really irritates me.

mryrcn what flavor did you get? ll.I always get the cheerwine float that comes with the meal. I keep saying I"m going to get a shake. Probably start off with banana.
I had a good visit with my little half sister and her husband. He's a really nice guy and it's amazing that she turned out as well adjusted as she did after having lived with our father and brother.
ungh. I have another drawer thing to put together and I don't wanna! Instead I want to make a pumpkin vine monster thingy that I got all the stuff to make today.
Also, pumpkin spice related - MIL shared popcorn coated with something with me yesterday and asked me to guess what flavor. I said, "Candle?" Because it tasted EXACTLY like a scented candle smells to me. blech. She was hurt that I didn't guess pumpkin spice.

Ok, my senile SGMIL told me I was wearing "slut lipstick" in front of my youngest niece and SIL. I'll admit I had consumed a lot of alcohol and i had a hard time stopping my mouth before completely engaging. It hurt me and my in laws expect me to ignore it. I sat down later on with her and she was oblivious to what she said earlier. I'm not proud of rising to the bait before catching myself. For reference, I'm wearing the last FOTD for weekend. pandce.proboards.com/thread/475216/long-weekend-fotd?page=2
It took awhile to calm intoxicated jenniloveselvis down from the ledge.
So. Today was my 40th birthday. I'm totally burying this at the end of a weekend randoms. I really had a great, great birthday. Part of my celebration was six nights of Phish, which were honestly among my best shows ever, and I've been to A LOT of shows. Special shout out to page. I also received wonderful birthday greetings and very nice gifts, including this new iPad mini from DH that I'm posting from. BUT - I'm still going to bitch about two petty little things, that I'm not REALLY upset about, but I find ironic.
1: my sister celebrates her birthday all fucking month. She acts like it should be a national holiday every year. My parents were in Mexico for her birthday this year and when I called her, she was SOBBING because they didn't call. If they REALLY cared, they would have moved heaven and earth to get an international cell signal to call her! OMG. I get that it sucks when some one important misses an important date, but we all have lives and get busy. Hysterical sobbing over a missed phone call on a random late 30s birthday was over the top. BUT GUESS WHO DIDN'T CALL OR TEXT ME ON THIS MOMENTOUS DAY?!? Lol.
2: @bunnybean bragged in a thread last summer that if you told her your birthday once, she would never forget. And she does start almost all of the birthday threads. I responded with my birthday, and yet bunny forgot two years in a row! So quit your bragging, chica.
Okay, off to bed! I'm capping off my party weekends and starting my 40s with a good night's sleep!
