So work continues on Chateau Cookie. The boiler was two weeks ago, this week its gutters. Cookie is hoping that the mini-split AC system goes in next. The kitchen estimate is nearing completion as the window people are her on Friday to get the specs for the six windows we have to replace. But hey, its only money.

Cookie and the husband will at home for the eclipse, as we are in the totality zone, but we don't expect to see it. Long range forecasts are saying most Americans will be under cloud cover. But at least we get to watch it go from gray, to dark to gray. Whoo hooo!

A Former Neighbor of ours from Baltimore, who grew up around the corner from my grandmother in Shaker is in town, and since Cookie is tired of VAD (which is always cold in the market space) we met at the Stone Oven and we had a hoot. A woman overheard that we had both live/lived in Baltimore and she joined in having spent time there as well. Former Neighbor and her husband are considering coming back here for retirement.

Cookie is relieved that MSNBC dropped Rona McDaniel like a hot brick. Cookie is amused that Rona was as wanted as a redheaded step child at a bastard reunion by the MAGA people. Now they have taken up Rona's cause. Fickle Fuckers.

Far be it from Cookie to wish ill on anyone, but when it comes to Lauren Bobert, who are we kidding. That's not a question. Apparently BoeBoe ended up in the hospital to have her medical condition, May-Thurner Syndrome, corrected by the implantation of a stent to keep blood clots at bay. I wish her well, but she is still going to be one fucked up bitch with a stent in her leg.

NOW, for some news of an impending change. I am considering ending DHTISH, and beginning anew on a new blog from scratch. Part of the problem is that now that I am back here, I think a change is in order as well. None to worry, y'all will get an invite to the new digs if I do it.

Oh, heavens! Staring again from scratch?!!
ReplyDeleteIs there some mystical link to the eclipse afoot, one wonders? Nah - the last one we had, way back in 1999, was exactly the same - cloudy as fuck, everyone gathered in a park in Ealing, West London with bottles of champagne to pop, and all we got was a little darker shade of grey, then it was over. Still, any excuse for fizz... Jx
Well, most people who restart their blogs don't do much with the new one, although you well might be the exception to this rule. We would all be disappointed if we didn't hear from you so often, so I would vote for keeping this blog, and I think the name is still viable.
