So I went to the Fringe Festival last night. I saw 2 shows. The first one was a cute play about two 5-year-olds in love. I ran into a lot of my theatre-community friends in the audience there, which was nice. The second show was a magic show where the magician told stories and did tricks that went along with the stories. Both good shows, and a lot of fun to watch. šŸ™‚ ---

Howdy Yā€™all! Takinā€™ a little irk break. ā€˜Tis 80 Amurrkin out and so far the _ **NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE** _ has not advised me to stay in air conditioner today. Hopefully there will be rain/tstorms/apocalypse late afternoon and early eveninā€™. In other news Iā€™s still stuffded from brekkie. I had a bacon and cheese omelet, grits, and a biiiiiiiiiiiig bizkit and et it all. Ok, thatā€™s the latest news from swampland. Back to irk soon I reckon. ---

Congratulations, **blue**! Now comes the fun part. šŸ˜ƒ The Fringe Festival sounds like fun, **Emily**. I have always enjoyed acts tha were out of the mainstream. I got up this morning like any other Thursday, got purtified and packed breakfast and lunch for irk, then went downstairs to a flat tire. My neighbor put the donut on for me (thanks, Miguel!). It appears that a ~8 penny nail went in and the point went out through the sidewall trashing the tire. Theyā€™ll have a pair ready for me this afternoon at the tire shop. Meanwhile, Iā€™m fixing to take a nap and play in the studio all day. ---

> [@LavenderBlue](#): > > Please have a good cry with me. My eldest is about to graduate from sixth grade tomorrow. I swear just yesterday she was so small I could hold her in my hands and marvel at her milky little fingers and cheeks with a hint of baby pink to them. Today sheā€™s almost as tall as I am with thick curls and a talent for math. She has her fatherā€™s eyes and his internal introvert preferences. You can tease a joke out of her and watch the grin spread into her entire face about a second later. > > In our twelve years together, Iā€™ve learned how to hold tight while slowly letting go. Iā€™ve learned that you can love someone so much that it is like another sense. Iā€™ve gone from meeting her every need to helping her find her own needs without me. I will watch her tomorrow, in her pretty pink dress and heels and I will be both incredibly happy and just a little bit sad at the same time. My baby is gone. In her place is someone I adore just as much, a girl about to step into womanhood with me who still deliciously lets me reach for her hand. {{{ **Blue** }}} Well done. Itā€™s not easy watching them grow up so fast! ---

And all the daylilies are transplanted! Huzzah and yay!! _\_ I even divided a couple of clumps to fill in a few bare areas. The sprinkler is giving most of the hill a drink - Iā€™m pretty sure everything Iā€™ve moved in the last couple of days will get watered. The timerā€™s set for 2 hours but Iā€™ll check and if it needs to go longer, I can do that. Pics eventuallyā€¦ Iā€™ve chatted with a few of the neighbors who walk by as Iā€™m laboring. One woman has this massive beastie - I think heā€™s a pit bull. Iā€™m surprised he hasnā€™t dislocated her arm, especially when he was trying to get to me for skritches. I found out she was one who took some of the hostas Iā€™d left on the corner with a sign that said ā€œFREEā€ - she said they were doing beautifully. That was nice to hear. Iā€™m showered and mostly cooled down. I tried for a cold rinse when I was done, but it was too cold - the kind of cold that makes you draw in your breath suddenly! Instead, I decided to turn the water off and drag my exhausted, dripping carcass out of the shower stall. Itā€™s way too humid for this kind of work - Iā€™m glad itā€™s done. Except for mulching, but thatā€™s lots easier than digging. Tahredā€¦ ---

And IMHO time well spent. Most are just the music but the two live ones from the radio show are great. The way ā€œGreaberā€ can just go off sometimes and how funny he can be is why we try never to miss a live show. Something always happens to catch his attention and even ā€œCarlā€ and ā€œBarryā€ just sit back, cross their arms, and watch genius at work. ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > Whammed my big toe into the corner of a footstool last night, and my foot STILL hurts. Standing all day at work tomorrow will not be fun. I donā€™t _think_ anythingā€™s broken, but I did hear a rather alarming noise on impact. Buddy-tape it just to be safe and/or get someone to kiss it and make it better. Not some fetishist though; just to be safe. > [@dogbutler](#): > > šŸ™‚ Same for me. Great post, **Blue**. > [@EmilyG](#): > > I think Iā€™m the youngest (and least successful) person in the MMP. OK ā€“ the first part Iā€™ll believe. But the second part is still a 67-way tie as far as Iā€™m concerned. Hugs your way, dear heart. ---

in another twist of the drama that is life in Sunny-land, at midnight, my MIL came knocking and asked hubby for a ride to the hospital. Chest pains, trouble breathing. Yep - ye olde cardiac event. Theyā€™re saying Congestive Heart Failure. Theyā€™re keeping her until at least tomorrow. Sheā€™s diabetic and tends to ignore her disease. She also doesnā€™t exercise, eats poorly, etc. So itā€™s not exactly a surprise. Just makes me more determined to take better care of myself. Thereā€™s only one of me and I want to be here for my kiddos. Itā€™s more important to do that then it is to finish the leftovers from last week (sheā€™s a fanatic for not throwing food away). We donā€™t always get along, but she did drop everything to come out here when I got hurt. In this case a good thing, so we could get her to help so quickly. Take care of yourselves everyone!
