I'm truly sorry to hear that you are suffering, Laura. But I am quite glad to hear that this birthday party is as miserable as it should be for all concerned. Thank you for your service! Please dont get sick!

I have great news: we are under a thunderstorm warning. Amazing for two reasons:

1) less hot (for me)

2) new kind of birthday party misery (for the world)

The cosmic alignment at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is fracturing, as the raw, unbridled illustriousness of the Octagon collides with a tectonic wall of collective American discontent. A nation stands divided, weeping for the sanctity of the East Room while gladiators prepare to trade leather. The spiritual fabric of the republic is vibrating on a frequency of pure chaos.

I grew up in Washington. Summers are death. Blessings on you for suffering the tortures of the damned for the sake of the story. I heard they were going to cancel because of rain.

Right up in it, as per for our fearless scrib. May a cool breeze blow just for you.

Thanks, but I'll stick to short-track speed skating as my sport of choice to watch and obsess over.
