They’re gone. The house is quiet. Kat fell back asleep. So did the dogs. It was too dark to get a picture before they left. Tipper decided she didn’t need me to go with her after all. So, here I am. Sorting through news articles I don’t find interesting, making breakfast, and thinking about going back to bed myself once I’ve taken the necessary meds. I’m still having some difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that our youngest is now in high school. They both seemed so grown up and independent as they left. How long will it be until they don’t need me at all?
We all spent large amounts of yesterday in bed. The rain encouraged that. I didn’t get any mowing done and with today’s forecast calling for spotty showers all day, I won’t likely get anything done today, either. At this particular moment, I’m having trouble caring.
I’m sure we won’t go too long without some issue somewhere blowing up in our faces. If I were betting, Israel vs. Hezbollah seems to have decent odds. Hezbollah says they didn’t have anything to do with the missiles that killed 12 on Saturday. It’s not like Hezbollah to back away from taking credit for something, they’re usually quite proud of themselves. But if they didn’t do it, who the fuck did? Be happy if you’re not working for the State Department about now.
Going back to bed seems like the best idea. Even the cats are asleep now. Volume is turned up on the phone just in case either of the kids needs anything, but I’m not expecting that to happen. I guess I should get used to this feeling. The school year is just starting.

Newswise, the Seine is still too dirty to swim in, Israel is trying to figure out a way to punish Hezbollah without bringing Iran fully into the war, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who is actually the president of Venezuela. President Biden is proposing some pretty strong changes to the Supreme Court, but they stand almost no chance of getting approved by Congress. The “Park” fire just keeps getting bigger and it’s likely to start affecting your air quality soon.
