So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

This should be fun. (Barring the obvious fun.) The first time that kind of relationship is tested with an outside sexual thing… it can be interesting. It might be fine, and it might kinda not. The reality sometimes record scratch skips your brain into spitting out how you really feel about this now that it’s not an abstract.
Don’t get me wrong, how you really feel can be yea, nay, and may or may not agree with how you thought you felt. But it is a bit of a portentous moment in any relationship that includes it. End pontificating.
This is not the first person Sarah has slept with since getting together with Ruth.
This is the first person who has shown up in the strip physically (others have been mentioned in dialogue)
Yeah, I think the point being this is the first person who it seems to be more than just a sexual attraction.
Yep, thanks Ecchi – that’s what I was trying to convey, albeit poorly – perils of too much post revision. Previous, it hasn’t been anyone that’s mattered enough to signify one way or another. The first one that strays into “Really want” territory is often the problem child.
Yeah – see my reply to Ecchi, over-revision led me to word that quite chimptacularly. Mea culpa.
“Someone break out the banjo”
….I’m not thinking of a banjo tie in. Am I missing something?
Only a very inside joke
