Rim-Shot and Trixie Motel

How can it be June already?  Riveting journalism this is for a blog post; but, really? June? There were several goals, and deadlines that had to be met when I stepped into 2023 possibly move to a better place, closer to the park, go on the epic vacation that was planned in 2022, and finally, break down and buy a rim chair.

 

Here we are marking the sixth month, halfway through the year, and I am done with all three goals. We went to LA for a weekend, ditched Dragcon as it was.... a drag, and had an amazing weekend staying with The Trixie Motel in Palm Springs. So much pink. The hype for the hotel was justified. However, the service, in comparison with other high-end and super-expensive hotels, was simply lacking. A two-night stay and there was no personal service. I got snipped at for wanting a cup of coffee before 8AM or after 10AM But, I walked in to check in with a backpack and dirty jeans, so go figure. Palm Springs was amazing as we did brunch-bitch poolside at a historic hotel with new friends.  

Moving was surprisingly easy. If not overly expensive. Inflation hit the moving industry just like everything else. Just yesterday I unpacked the last box. In all my moves, which there have been way too many, it seems like the books just sit and wait to be placed on a bookcase. Also, after to purge all the stuff you realize you‘ll never use again, you move and end up with a whole new stack of stuff for Goodwill. Every time wondering “Why did I move this?”   

And as for the rim chair.... well... There comes a time when you realize you need the right tool for the right job. I like to consider myself an... expert in the field.... and need to step up, or lie down to the major league. To do this I need the best tools.
