Katie: Happy Father’s Day to the guy I can always depend on! This man has answered so many questions (“Dad, how do I...?”) and always answers with kindness (even to stupid ones.) I love you dad. ❤️

and of course her daddy replied: "love you, Boo."

well, I now know that the free seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race on amazon are 1-5.

Kevin's spending Fathers Day mowing yards alone. I think he likes to mow? but not 100% sure. it. is. an. obligation.

got to spend some snuggle time with Relda, I. fed. the. dog. Kevin had overtime and wanted to go out to eat.

I didn't feel up to Bethany, so we ate uptown. not such a good choice tonight. business was booming. not our favorite waitress. Kevin's steak was a bad fatty cut and not cooked right. he ordered butterfly shrimp, got the broiled with sauce. so, Buckwheat gets some high quality leftovers tomorrow....

Mercer has recently lost 3 esteemed residents.....Paul and Myron from the grocery store, and Jeane, the quilting lady. Paul and Katie were always friends, he was our neighbor and she scored lots of horse rides from him.

Kevin was watching a blood and guts movie, and just here lately, those make me physically ill. so, I deleted emails and cleaned house on computer. unsubscribed from a shit ton of shit. and I'm pondering giving all my big kids a pair of Lazy One jammie pants in addition to their Xmas $....

shit is STILL being cancelled. will we get our HaunticonOmaha in September? will I ever stand up straight again? or drive? these are the burning questions....

I thought perhaps there was a bit more to my 25 years in a barn story. but I think this is the final page.

"How can she dislike an old woman who so obviously needs her help? The answer seems to be quite easily."

read this in a Stephen King novel in a hotel room in Fremont, NE recently. and I t-totally identified with it.

showers are getting easier. still have a spotter. taking off the binder and then moving is so weird, feels like everything is moving around. my stomach (what I've glimpsed thus far) looks so much better. there's a huge sunken in spot where the huge huge huge hernia was, and my pot belly is reduced to like a mohawk looking slab of flesh. will I need smaller pants eventually? will I start walking and try to get in better shape? will my ridiculously oversized shirts be even more redonkulous?
