I checked into a Holiday Inn and the desk clerk was reading The Shining! 😂😂😂

Today’s Project: Weeding, laying weed mat, planting, mulching. 40 bags of mulch… filling in holes dogs have dog with soil, putting up temp fences around them and sprinkling grass seed. But first—blueberry pancakes and bacon.

Good morning CoSo! What’s happening in your world today?

Marital phone calls:
Me: Hey, is there a Little People version of Daryl McDaniels from Run DMC on the kitchen island?
Spouse: WTF are you asking me right now?

My teen applied for several fast food positions in the area that were “Hiring immediately! No experience necessary! Great first job! All shifts needed.” Only one called him for an interview. They told him they’d let him know in 7 days. He didn’t hear back, so he called them to check in and was told to wait by his phone, they just weren’t ready yet but would be soon. Then nothing — he was ghosted.

He is now volunteering at a local non-profit thrift store since it’s so late in the season.

They were worth waiting 2 years to see (Covid postponement). So much fun. I last saw them in November 2000. ♥️

I worked Pride this morning and had a lot of fun meeting folks who were so enthusiastic about their public libraries.

If you want to help the Red River Women’s Clinic is moving from Fargo, ND to Moorhead, MN to provide abortion services. They have a GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/d684ded9

Staying inside in the AC and reading on the couch while temps climb toward 100 today.

I caught up on Kenobi and Ms. Marvel and I watched Good Luck to you, Leo Grande and Fire Island. When I go back to work tomorrow I feel like I might be able to keep up in conversations.

We saw our first loon in 2022 this morning.

Just a safety reminder to never swim alone. I’m watching a woman do it at the lake right now, and it’s upsetting me. My Canadian Red Cross water safety instructors would be appalled. It doesn’t matter how well you swim. Shit happens.

I did an outreach event for work where I ended up hauling a folding table 1/2 mile in the wind.

This morning my right hip/glute are sore as hell from stabilizing a plastic table. Clearly I need more functional fitness.

Today: We took the dogs to the dog beach, then we’re headed to a #MNAurora game, and later there are grilled kabobs and smashed potatoes and perhaps ice cream nachos.

Am I a horrible #MNTwins fan if I say I completely forgot Sano is still on the team?

Not at all. The sigh was more in relief after a long day. ♥️

I’m up! I’m up! I had nightmares I completely forgot to go to my outreach event from 12-3 pm.

I am a grown woman who loves these juice boxes. Sigh.

Teen had his first job interview to be a cashier at a fast food pasta joint near us. He thinks it went ok. 🤞🤞
