Summer Plans

[Clodfobble]

This is traditionally a slow time for the Cellar, and by coincidence I find myself in greater need of distraction than normal due to various real-life bullshit. So talk to me. Tell me your summer plans. Or your lack of plans due to all the work you have. Whatever. DANCE, MONKEYS!

My kids are going to gymnastics camp, and then theater camp, and then spending a week with my in-laws. Not looking forward to pre-cooking for that. Later they will go to astronomy camp at the local science museum, and then school starts a week into August.

Meanwhile my stepdaughter shows up at our house on Saturday, and thus begins the painful gear-grinding of helping her with her plan to get a job, a driver's license, and potentially an apartment if the first two are successful. Three weeks into this process, she will have to make the critical decision on whether to go back to her mother's house, or stand her ground and tell her mother that she's 18 now and can do what the fuck she wants with her life. We absolutely support her if she decides to make this stand, but if she does, it will undoubtedly result in a domestic disturbance on our porch when her mother arrives to get her, quite possibly with police intervention. So, yeah. Whee.

We are going nowhere, which is awesome. I don't know how people take a vacation every year, it's way too stressful.
