Today's plans included more phone time with bureaucracy, more phone time with doctors, and [personal profile] spatch's first appointment with his new PCP, for which he had had to wait so long that we could have literally reproduced in the time between scheduling and walking into the office.

Today’s plans did not include finding ourselves so close to an eventual three-house, seven-alarm fire that the parking lot smelled like the inside of a model rocket and the sunlight thickened and turned sulfurous from the smoke we could see billowing in different colors over the line of the roofs. We saw mutual aid called in from Malden, Winthrop, Somerville, Cambridge, Belmont. As I was updating my mother who hadn't been able to find information about injuries or casualties—none of the latter reported, at least—the fire was announced finally knocked down. It's the city's third in six weeks. Fire season in urban areas.

Today's plans did not include a visit to Revere Beach, either, but it was a good reward for a doctor's visit and netted us dinner from Kelly's. Rob took pictures of sea, sand, gulls, me.



I am deeply endeared by this fanart for the first meeting of Iolanthe and the not yet Lord Chancellor. As a dear friend of mine who is not on DW pointed out, it practically is canon for her reaction to have been, "What a nerd! Let's hit that."
