Bear's 40th (and Katie's 29th)

What an absolute adventure. First of all can someone explain why I get seasick on land but not on water? Switchbacks. OI...I booked the house!! I knew it was in the mountains...but hoooolyshit...I thought we were gonna die. LOL The charming A-frame house was literally on Lake Arrowhead had five bedrooms and a bar/rec room w/Star Wars Pinball, Galaga and a pool table. And approximately 160 stairs. We were there for a week. Full of swimming and tabletop games, grilling steaks and eating cake. It was peaceful, cool and lovely.

Bloomsday...

It is kinda Pete's gig. When he isn't literally run into the ground trying to take care of HIS patients and M.O's, he has in the past spent the day reading Ulysses in his hammock. Alas, he went to work today. I suspect because in 23 sleeps we ALL (well not the dogs...Miranda is coming to house/chicken/cat sit) go to Lake Arrowhead for Matt's 40th and Katie's 28th. In the mean time Z has taken a mental health day because: pollen, "this economy", Cheeto dust and anxiety about flying are just too much. I get it. My ass has been dragging for days. I wonder if Z isn't feeling grief about Uncle Eoorik. E finally cashed in his chips. We are all in a funk.

Monday

Iz spent the weekend in Portland,Maine with her girls. She is on her way home right now. Got new sofas so the Covid couch has numbered days, once we get past Christmas here w/SoCal kids? It will prly get BURNED (lol). Lot of yard work over the weekend. Z managed to FLIP the riding lawnmower. That was scary. Pete still doesn't have his MachE back. He should sue FORD...srsly... since Valentine's Day when he was off to pick up heart shaped pizza. I am old and tired.
