IrisPetal of Bloom

I tested myself again this morning, in advance of a potential social gathering tonight. Still perversely positive. I'm beginning to feel that I've retired from the human race. I used to say that I was a hermit, half in jest, but it's becoming a real thing! We took advantage of the long evenings and went for a walk after supper. Which consisted of sushi and what I'm beginning to think of as an all-purpose side dish, potato salad. The Sparrowhawk came up with the bright idea of putting sauerkraut in his. Okay, I'm not THAT German. I'm sure it's a fine idea, but I didn't want any.

Because of my relentless positivity, I couldn't wish Bird Baby a happy birthday in person, but fortuitously, I discovered one of those nicer children's clothing places was having a memorial day sale, and I sent her a few things. Then it occurred to me that Aquinas might like some summery shorts and t-shirts, and sent a few things to him. This is a more iffy process, because I'm not really sure what size he is. But I guess his overworked parents can always send them back if necessary. Online shopping! The last refuge of the desperate for amusement! I really should be concentrating on collecting some garments for my own trip in June. It's hard to contemplate that I'll be prepared for such an event. But I certainly won't be if I don't start thinking about packing.
