Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

We haven't gotten any spider hordes yet, but I guess there's a first time for everything. We've had some ant hordes. Come on spiders, eat the ants.
 
When I first moved into my house, an orb spider created a huge beautiful web on my back porch. Once we established that no, don't build it over the steps but on the sides is cool, me and 'Orby' were pals.
 
Orb spiders are cool. Though I have to say my favorites are jumping spiders.
 
So we are back from our Utah trip, it took me almost a week to get caught back up on my forum stuff. Most of the trip went well. The only hitch was when my younger sister shared some of her weed with me. The weed turned out to be much more powerful than I anticipated. Much more powerful than I thought possible. I was out of it for the rest of the day. I couldn't even stand up and maintain my balance. It was kind of scary. I remember my sister repeatedly apologizing to me. And I wasn't able to respond. But I was okay the next day and she and I had a good chat about the whole thing. I apologized because I felt bad about overestimating what I could handle. And because I was embarrassed.

I think I'd like to try again, only with a half a hit instead of a hit and a half. :)
 
It's Monday, September 11, 11:30 a.m., in my time zone. Current temp: 67°, which is cool for this part of the day, but it will climb up to the low 80's before it starts cooling down again. Most of this next week will be in the low 70's and upper 60's.

Brother-Husband is off today (as per usual), and was home for a few hours this morning but then took off, I think he had an appointment of some kind, possibly a doctor appointment. (He just got back.) Early on Thursday, he and Snowbunny will be leaving to fly to Michigan, where one of Snowbunny's sisters is getting married. They'll be gone until a week from tomorrow (Tuesday). Normally Snowbunny and I go shopping together on Saturdays, but this week we'll do that on Wednesday. She'll be off on that day (she usually works Monday thru Friday).

I'll be spending much of today trying to catch up on Facebook. This concludes my riport.
 
Today started out quite cool, but now it is 75°, and will get up to 76° or 77°. We finally have some rain in the forecast, three days of it in a row this next Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (a week from today).

Brother-Husband and I walked to the nearby drugstore where we got my meds refilled. We were supposed to get something refilled for Snowbunny too, but the pharmacy didn't have it today. Not sure if Snowbunny and I will stop at that drugstore tomorrow, don't know if they will have her prescription refilled by then.

Brother-Husband made coffee for us this morning. And there was pumpkin pie spice creamer in the fridge. So wrong. :)
 
So, Brother-Husband and Snowbunny are back from their trip, everything went fine with the wedding, it was just a tiring trip. The weather has really cooled off and we finally got some rain, although the coming week looks pretty dry. We've actually started to use our heater, the windows are all closed. In about a week we may get a few days in the upper 70's.

Today I drank too much water, and consequently threw up. Woohoo! My diet plan is working perfectly. :cool:
 
Looks like I'll finally get caught up on all my internet stuff today. This forum is the main thing I sometimes struggle to catch up on. Second to that is Facebook. So, when I say "all my internet stuff," I basically mean Polyamory.com and Facebook.

Not sure what to expect of tomorrow. I think Brother-Husband requested to have it off, but I don't know if they (they = Lowe's) gave it to him.
 
Autumn came in cool here as well. Only a couple weeks since a record heat wave! Though we got plenty of rain last year, drought mentality makes it feel as though cold weather and storms are semi-mythical.

Thursday will prospectively get up to 81°, Wednesday and Friday up to 77°. The rest of the forecast is in the low 70's. 66° on Monday, with rain (I hope).
 
Brother-Husband is under the weather, he did take yesterday off, but as a sick day. Luckily Sundays thru Tuesdays are normally his days off anyway, so that gives him four days total for recovery.
 
Well I'm afraid Brother-Husband isn't feeling much, if any better. Tomorrow is his last regular day off, so I guess after that he's going to have to call in sick if he's feeling bad enough. The only silver lining here is that he and I watched a cool movie together. It's called "The Invitation," it's a 2015 film. That's all I want to tell you as I don't want to give it away, but I do recommend it.
 
Well Brother-Husband doesn't seem to be coughing much today, so maybe that's a good sign. He made coffee for us today even though he was sick, I think he deserves kudos for that.

The forecast says that tomorrow and the day after will be in the low 80's. After that there's five days in the low-to-mid 60's, with four days of rain. I am hoping for all four of those; we need rain. Today will get up to 73° or 74°. It's 69° right now.

Thus and so is my riport.
 
Brother-Husband did go to work today, but got home early (c. 2:20 p.m.), don't know if that has anything to do with being sick. He's not coughing but when he talks, he sounds rough. I don't think he's exactly better yet.

I'm concerned that maybe my ex-SIL is going to distance herself from me (and my V). She already wasn't getting together with us very often, like, once or twice a year. And wasn't returning Snowbunny's calls. But she (ex-SIL) has apologized about that and explained stuff she's very busy with. And I know she has a new boyfriend, I figure she is spending a lot of time with him which is as it should be.

But, things have lately gotten weird on Facebook. In her last conversation with Snowbunny, ex-SIL seemed to be freaking a little, and saying that everyone was liking her ex-husband's (my brother's) posts, and that no one was liking her posts. Which isn't exactly true, I always like her posts. But my brother posts a lot more often, so maybe that is how she is getting that idea.

But now, there's this big controversy over Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, and I am on Kaepernick's side and ex-SIL is on the opposite side. I'm thinking she's considerably more right-wing than I am, moreso than I had previously realized. So I posted some stuff in favor of Kaepernick, and then she posted a picture of soldiers' coffins (draped in flags) with the caption, "This is why we stand for the anthem, stupid." Oh crikey, if it weren't for the word "stupid," I could have clicked "Like" on that post.

And I'm assuming the timing was coincidental, that she was just posting that at everyone in general. But what if I'm wrong? What if she got pissed about my posts, and was aiming that post of hers directly at me? There isn't much I can do about that. I can't pretend to take her side, I can't even pretend that I don't feel strongly about my side. Is this controversy going to break up the friendship that she and I have had up until now? That's what I'm worried about. And I don't dare try to talk to her about it, I'm afraid that will just fan the flames.

Have any of you had fallings out over this Kaepernick thing? I'm just curious.

I caught some flak with some work frienda for my views. Not surprising since I live in a conservative area.....

I hope this doesn't affect your relationship with your ex-SIL....
 
Well I lost about 50 FB friends after Trump was elected. I didn't pull any punches...lol

My fundamentalist aunt keeps posting stupid "love the flag" stuff, which I ignore. I post my stuff and she ignores it. Her husband quit commenting on my stuff because I kept pummeling him with facts.

Really I couldn't care less if I offend a conservative. They've gone past the point of no return in my book. I'm way too old to be tolerating friends who are so far removed from me.

And people who take that whole FB liking thing so seriously? Pfffft.
