Crawling through Mud, Post #13

Well, it's been a bit of a while, hasn't it. Work, and trying to get house tasks organized (for other people to do, for real), and general exhaustion has kept me from posting. But anyway! 12 things on the twelfth!

1) My neighbor power-washed the patio and concrete driveway bits in my backyard this past week. It's slightly horrifying to realize just how dirty and slimy they were.... but it's lovely now.
2) This is my good neighbor, as opposed to the new neighbors who literally have multiple signs about how they are licensed gun-owners. Not an invitation to knock on their door, right?
3) Oh, also taking my time this week, LUCIFER SEASON 4 OMG OMG OMG. On Netflix.
4) The thing about Lucifer is that I love every regular cast member, with the possible exception of Detective Dan whom I understand and sympathize with and yet he really IS a bit of a douche. Still, I love them. I like the way the show switches up scene-partners now and then, too, because all of these people are awesome and all of them should interact with each other.
5) Amenadiel is my sweet cinnamon roll darling, by the way. And I ship him and Dr Linda! Even beyond the plot-thing of Season 4!
6) What's also delicious about Lucifer is that they are so good with lightening the mood right before they hit the viewer with all the feels. To think about Episode 10 (The Finale), for example -- how did we go from dance sequence to That Ending? And yet it worked for me on every level.
7) Lastly, this show -- in a different way from The Good Place or Brooklyn Nine-Nine -- is an exploration of what it means to be a good person, and I find that theme so appealing.
8) Otherwise, I have a few days of vacation coming up, and I am doing a bit of traveling to West Texas, as one does. I haven't been to my holy place for almost a decade, and it's time.
9) Packing is sort of difficult, however, because I will be doing a bit of hiking but also taking in art and eating and sitting outside breathing in the desert. Hiking boots and shirt-dresses, maybe?
10) Master Danger will not be pleased for my absence, but I'll otherwise be here for the duration.
11) Except that I am going to a Nearby City in August to HEAR LYLE LOVETT AND THE LARGE BAND. As has been discussed before, he is pretty much my ideal man, so... YAY.
12) Hugs and joys to you all.

That sounds like a great vacation. :) Wear hiking boots and shirt dresses at the same time. You will totally pull it off. :)) I have Brooklyn Nine-Nine on my to -watch list.

Have a lovely holiday. I'm sure Master Danger will be pleased by your return, if not your absence :)

Many hugs.

Ooh, ooh! When we drove by the turnoff from I-10 to your holy place a few years back (and oh, my, but that looked like the far side of nowhere) I wanted so much to head on south, but once again we were on book fair deadline (pouts retroactively)...

Have a terrific time!
