We are spending the day by the pool. It’s hot but not so bad in the shade by the pool. We’re having chicken, potatoes, and coleslaw for dinner. Not exactly 4th of July fare by H is in pain from his tooth extraction and skin surgery, so this is what he’s up for. I’m just glad I’m not working today.
Happy 4th! My kids have plans, I will be home protecting the dog from fireworks.
I’m also trying not to freak out. Went to the ATM of the bank that had the ransomware attack and all my accounts show a zero balance. This attack happened last Saturday, I can’t believe it is taking this long to resolve.
ssmjlm, Your packages don't happen to be FedEx do they? I had a package go from where it originally shipped from (midwest somewhere) to one hub in Atlanta, another hub in Atlanta, New Jersey, then Charlotte, NC, before finally coming back to Atlanta....then they delivered it Monday when the business is closed and left it outside the door with 9 other packages. They aren't supposed to deliver when the business is not open. Oh, and they said I signed for all 10 package. I don't even work for the business (I ordered something & had it shipped there).
My 4th plans got cancelled. I did an ebike ride, grabbed a veggie burger + sweet potato fries out, and am about to take a nap.
Nothing is going on here at all! We were invited to some parties but they are all on Saturday. I’m disappointed because while I don’t feel like socializing I also don’t feel like cooking, we have no groceries and a party would have at least fed me lol
This is us. We have a very busy week but today is the only day we don’t have plans. I did end up buying groceries though. It’s nice to relax because we were out late yesterday, but feels weird to have no plans on a holiday.

We had/have a nice tradition of shooting fireworks in our yard on the 4th now that the kids are teens, but this year both are on trips, and both happen to be in Calgary of all places.
H and I did a quick 2 night trip up to the north shore and it's glorious. 0 complaints. Plus it's sunny and 65 here and it's rainy with nasty storms at home. Win win.
We are both working tomorrow but it will be a quite short day. I'm planning to do loads of yard work over the weekend. We have gotten wild amounts of rain which has been great for the garden but the qeeds have also gone wild.
We headed to a strip mall in Mass. My 15yo wanted to go to Barnes & Noble (boy after my own heart), then my oldest picked out a candle at Yankee Candle, we had a late lunch at Applebee's and went mini golfing. It was sprinking when we started but luckily it did not pour.
Now I'm cooking up some wings, potatoes and broccoli on the grill. I'll throw together a salad and call it a day.

I troll our local Are We Dating the Same Guy because it amuses me and holy fuck who pops up but the husband of this chick I know. They always presented as the perfect couple 🙄 but well well well.
My teenager is with her boyfriend at his family’s BBQ, which is fun for her and makes me happy. So, H and I went into town to check out the downtown Arts event with live music and fireworks. We brought drinks and beach chairs and have a wonderful spot for the show.

After STBX got dumped by his gf when she found out he was the king of all liars, she posted him on our local pages. DD’s former daycare teacher commented on it 🤦♀️
Dude finally fucked with the wrong person and now he’s finding out.

I'm not telling her though because she and I are not close. They presented as a happy family at least as of late May but who knows maybe they broke up or it's an open marriage. I don't want to get involved in the mess.
I drove 7.5 hours back from Columbus today. By myself. I am beat. It only took 6.5 to get there, no holiday traffic. Just my frustration with the trip home and many stops to stretch my legs.
But, I competed in my first national-level tournament! And I did not DFL! One event I was 5 from the bottom, the other event was second to last. But my primary goal was not to be last. So win!
On the way back, I stopped and picked up some really tame fireworks for my friend celebrating his first 4th as an American. He has never set off fireworks. It was literally just cheap Roman candles and some spinning/flying things. But, he enjoyed.
I took an edible this afternoon, as per tradition. But my timing was all wrong. I'm not going to be quite high enough to take the edge off all the assholes shooting off fireworks, and I didn't get on my bike early enough so my Pelostoned wasn't good.
But Sober Nonny planned ahead and bought Thai beef salad and castelvetrano olives to supplement the cheese and crackers n so dinner was great.
Now I'm attempting to watch Bridgerton for the first time, but I keep getting distracted. I didn't realize before tonight that Penelope was the same actressas Clare on Derry Girls.

I've been up since 3.30am due to an idiotic drunk husband who should have gone to sleep in our guest bedroom (we'll have words). Positively, Labour have officially been declared the winner, so the Tories are out. And some of my least favourite Tories got voted out too.

As former UK residents we have been following this election closely. Things are looking up!
