All Tomorrow's Yesterdays . Yes, All of Them - You Get It.

 Farm kid mode has been activated as of yesterday and my knees are not huge fans, but it is what it is! S is ~75% done with demoing the planters in the back and I've been chipping away at getting stuff into the dumpster, stuff out of the shed. Stuff, I suppose, eventually given away on Buy Nothing Pages. That's a dangerous game, but also: it's a lot of hauling around.

The girls (L and her neighbor friend) spent the afternoon horsing around in the sun while I did the aforementioned hauling. I'm glad she has the opportunity to do that (unstructured dramatic play with an older sibling type person), and I'm glad they've calmed down around asking me to play with them. It's been a hard no lately for various reasons: if I play with you you are less likely to develop the developmentally-appropriate skills needed for Life than if you play with your peer and Work It Out On the Dance Floor...although I suppose mileage may vary with that because we're assuming gross neurotypicality on everybody's parts.

Tomorrow is the first day of the school year. She's excited! I'm excited - and worried! She has her outfit picked out. Bluey shirt, racing stripe pants, and a request for reverse French braid pigtails.


Um.... I guess Trump is supposed to be in town on Friday. And by in town it's supposed that he's going to be on base. *sigh* The email from the school district was all like, "We have plans for that!" Besties - why? Let's just...get through it and out the other side, I guess.

Last night's dream was pretty benign; my cat wanted to go to a casino! And then we did!

Current gym watch is Survival of the Thickest and I've been describing it as "Sex and the City, but less annoying." Recent full-length movie watch was Harvest which was mainly notable as it gave me major Pentiment vibes. Parts were hard to watch and it starts out with some ecosexual type stuff that I think was supposed to set the tone of the film but didn't exactly manifest. The cinematography was reminiscent of John Constable paintings which I am always here for, and overall I felt like I was watching an A24 film.

Okay, may your coffee, meds, and heart all be strong!
