I downloaded season one to watch when traveling for work. I never got around to it. I need to see if H wants to start the series when the kids head to bed
Watch at least a couple of episodes before you judge it. It starts off as a comedy with lots of gratuitous sex, but as it progresses, the character development is really sharp.

Today is Xavier’s 10th birthday and it feels anticlimactic. Sigh. Stupid coronavirus. I spent $200 on Xbox gift cards bc it’s really the only thing he wanted and since we live in Florida I don’t feel confident going anywhere to celebrate, like a trampoline park or something.
We usually go to a theme park for his birthday and spend $1500 on the day so $200 isn't that bad. Lol.
I just feel like I could do something more, I just don’t know what.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham

I tried the Living Proof in shower styler my friend recommended. It will either be my new favorite thing or I’ll look like a greasy mess. That’s one benefit of the pandemic and not having anything fun to do on the weekend-playing with new makeup and hair care.
We drove to Boulder yesterday. Got in around dinner time and had a picnic with our friends and some of their friends. We are staying tonight too and I’m regretting it lol. When we originally made plans it sounded like a fun idea to hang with our friends an extra day, but now I just want to get home. They’re talking about renting a pontoon boat this afternoon, but it’s going to be SO hot, I don’t know how Stella would do on a boat (can’t leave her alone in the cabin), and I only have a shitty one piece Amazon bathing suit that is somewhere in my suitcase that I wasn’t planning on opening until we got home, and also I don’t want to end up sunburned. I sound like a party pooper, lol. We’ll see.
I think I’m cranky bc I didn’t sleep well and had one VERY vivid VERY weird dream where a friend fell down an elevator shaft and died and also in the same dream Stella got attacked by a mountain lion and I was carrying her Injured body around trying to find a way to get to an emergency vet. And I can still remember all of it and hr feelings really vividly.
I'd like to say that "we're" painting this weekend, but really, it's just my H and his buddy is helping some. My girls bedroom is currently dark pink and tealish blue, even the ceiling is painted the blue color. It's dark. It was super fun when they were 8 and had the multi colored bedding and curtains and what not. Now they're 13 and it's not cool. So far, the ceiling took 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of ceiling paint and the walls have 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint. I don't think H is ever going to let me pick dark paint colors again LOL
I was hoping to start my actual census job this week, but have kind of fallen behind on my training due to nothing else but my own laziness. I'm hoping to catch up because they are offering some nice bonuses the next couple of weeks.
We're refinancing and our appraisal came back $10K less than we were hoping. It's fine, we're still gonna move forward, but the one comp that killed us sold for $40K less than the value we were hoping to get, and was extremely dated with zero updates and no finished basement like our house has. And when I say zero updates, I mean, like since the 50's. Oh well, it is what it is. Our house still appraised for nearly $60K more than what we purchased for 5 years ago, so it's still a win.
I finished unpacking all my bedroom/bathroom stuff and I hung a few things up around the house, so I’m feeling pretty happy.
I ordered a dining table and the shipping date keeps getting pushed back. It was supposed to be here sometime this week, but they’re now projecting mid-September. I just want to have a dining table like an adult. I haven’t had one since early 2018. I’m also ready for my bed frame to ship. It’ll likely be early September, so I’m sleeping on a mattress in the floor until then. I just am ready for my house to be finished so that it’ll hopefully feel like a home.
I am friends on IG with my college bf. His son is 18 now and looks exactly like bf did when we met. Genetics is freaky.
They really are. We fully expected DS to look like my brother. We all look identical. People see pictures of DD and think it’s a picture of me at her age. Anyway... DS looks identical to H. Blonde nearly white hair. DD and I are dark hair dark eyes. DS thinks pictures of H and FIL as kids are him.
My mom just called to tell me to prepare myself and that my uncle is dying, most likely from COVID-19. He has been living with lung cancer, COPD and emphysema for five years but has been stable. He went to the hospital this morning with a 104 fever and double pneumonia. There are no measures they can take to help him. He wouldn't survive being intubated. The doctors said he shows every sign of COVID but they won't have test results for two days. I don't understand this. Our university says we'll be rapid testing every student and have results in 15 minutes. Not that it matters.
We've been at this threshold so many times and he's made it. I thought he was isolating but my mom said my aunt told her he's been leaving the house and going in stores. St Louis cases are rising up, up, up. I can't believe he was taking those risks.
We're Italian American but our family is very small. I was raised with just my maternal aunt and this uncle, their two kids and my grandfather, my mom, brother, stepbrother and stepdad. That's it. That's my family.
My mom didn't marry my stepdad until I was 14, so my uncle played an enormous role in raising me. I spent more nights at their house than my own as a teen and young adult. When I ran away in high school, I lived with them. When I had nowhere to go and no job out of college, I lived with them. Their daughter is my best friend and closer than a sister. My aunt is my godmother. I knew he would die at some point but we can't be together. My aunt is under quarantine for 10 days. She is alone, waiting to hear from the hospital. I can't be with my aunt or cousins or my mom. If he dies, there won't' be a funeral. I don't know how to "prepare myself" for this.
I don't know what to do. I feel so hopeless and helpless.
Is the hospital allowing visitors at all? In our covid ICU we're allowing visitors at end of life only and they must wear PPE and agree to a 14 day quarantine afterwards.
It doesn't solve the problem but it would allow you to be with him.

I’m so sorry @circo1978. That’s so sad❤️ We went to my parents for DS1’s birthday. He brought 2 friends and we played on the lake and did a bonfire and had pudgie pies for dinner. My sister made his cake and then I started a food fight with the remainder of it. It was epic. I just woke up from a nap, I was so tired. Sun and boating exhausts me. I need to make a sign for our teacher support rally tomorrow and wrap DS’s birthday gifts.

Did you like it?
I did! My hair took forever to dry but once it did I liked the outcome. Decent hold and not crunchy feeling.
