I'll be in Vegas for Star Trek LV this weekend... kind of! Have not actually decided how much I'm going to the con yet, but realistically I'll see if I can pop in on Sunday. I *will* however be at some ancillary events in the evenings, and will be around to hang during the day Fri-Sun.

Are we all getting our skates rebaked post pregnancy? Is this a thing? I only skated for about 20 minutes and my immediate conclusion was that I need a rebake and a good sharpening.

I’m off work this week but we kept our childcare going. Yesterday I drove up to a friend’s place in the high desert to write, and this morning I toured a daycare, hit an estate sale, and went skating for the first time since Cowboy Carter came out. I would kill at this stay at home mom shit.

I’m in season 3 of The Good Fight (I know we’ve been doing this rewatch forever but getting through the last season and a half of The Good Wife was a slog) and my favorite thing about it is how since season 2 they now suddenly just live in Gotham City.

Hey so in the most recent Antiques Roadshow a woman brought in her great grandmother’s preserved jar of Valentine’s Day neco wafers — one of which has a portrait of Grover Cleveland printed on it — from the year 1890.

Cannot believe this is happening right as we’re likely about to go into another Star Trek drought. Though I guess Apollo 8 happened after TOS had been cancelled as well. Just comes along to help us dream.

I’ve attended three (3!!!!) evening social events over the last four days and I am pleased to report that each one has had an attendee who shares my hyper fixation on a local, incredibly niche themed bar/cafe that just opened and absolutely feels like a Ponzi scheme.

I took my kid to a local bar to watch WBC baseball. He had his first ever grilled cheese and locked the fuck in to root for Venezuela. I cannot put into words how happy it made me??? This is really all I ever wanted to have a baby for lmao.
