Well, it's many bits and pieces for a Monday, LOL.

1. Still no keyboard. Expected delivery is today. One week after purchase, with "expedited delivery". I hate FedEx and really wish companies would stop using them. ETA FexEx just called. They tried again, but it's a "bad address". I was a bit nasty to the person on the line, I think my comment was "The Postal Service Manages to delivery every single day to this address, are all your drivers incompetent?" I mean, come on. Ugh.

2. Wonderful weekend in Bend. Got to visit with sis, BIL, and my mom, pretty much didn't do anything but read and hang around and chat.

3. Got tutoring in math squared away for Linnea. $$$ but it'll hopefully get her through the quarter. She only needs a C!

4. Woke up with a migraine very early this morning. Took meds, promptly puked them up. Slept off some of it, but hurting and still feeling very iffy and. well, fragile. I hate that feeling.

5. I'm not thrilled about Rishi Sunak as UK PM (not like it's any of my business, of course): he's a hard-core conservative with compromised ethics (his wife is corrupt as fuck and he has major conflicts of interest), but I'm kinda thrilled to see someone of South Asian descent as UK PM.

6. Waiting on the briefing from the DoJ on 'US National Security matter'. Please please please let it be a really bad day for Trump. I drove through eastern OR and WA yesterday and the number of Let's Go Brandon, Fuck Joe Biden, Trump is my President paraphernalia on display was sickening.

7. Drove a load of wood back with us. BIL has to take down some trees for fire safety reasons and, long story short, we ended up driving back with a load of logs in the back of the car with more to come on further trips: they can use them in the steam locomotive. We hoped to drop them off at the museum on the way home, but the wheelbarrow they left to transport the logs had a flat and it was too long to carry them all, so we'll have to go out this week. Does this type of random shit happen to everyone or just dh and me?

8. I want this rose: Moonlight in Paris.
