"Friday I'm in Love" is a song by British rock band the Cure. Released in May 1992 by Fiction Records as the second single from their ninth studio album, Wish (1992),l The song became a worldwide hit, reaching number six in the UK and number 18 in the United States, where it also topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The accompanying music video was directed by Tim Pope, depicting the band performing on a soundstage. It also won the award for European Viewer's Choice for Best Music Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

Robert Smith, the song's primary writer, described it in 1992 as both "a throw your hands in the air, let's get happy kind of record" and "a very naïve, happy type of pop song."

Good morning, everyone, and happy Friday!

Helia, I've sent you a PM. I hope DBro's visit isn't too stressful this time. Sometimes people can have a strange odour, even though they wash, if their clothes aren't clean, or if they've washed their clothes but haven't let them dry properly before putting them away. That's an excellent strategy to protect your DDs ( I m sure they're of an age now where they don't need "protecting" in the same way a vulnerable teenager would, but your strategy reduces their stress and discomfort.

L.Ann, the dragon boat ceremonies today sound fun. Will DD have a particular task to do?

Harriet, I've also sent you a PM.

KitKat,.I hope you get some respite from the noise.

Dogged, WTG with those DPCs.

Gma, I always loved the "Monday's child ..." poem. I was always glad I was born on a Friday, and especially not on a Wednesday!

The latest return date for Mica's owners is 4th/5th September, but I have my doubts, and have a suspicion that they may just keep delaying until they eventually disappear. I've sent you a PM.

Yesterday, DNeighbour R messaged to say the Amazon parcel of cat.food had indeed arrived on the neighbours ' doorstep. It's not enough to last until the 5th September, but it's a big help. I'm not sure if it's a sign they're remembering their responsibilities,.or if it's a ruse to keep me quiet, compliant and unsuspicious!

Today DH is staying with his DBro, and I have a "free" day. Although as I'm now looking.after.5 cats (our three,.Mica and now Izzy.- DF CW's cat,).I think I'm going to have plenty to do!

Kitty, another song from my teen years that I know and like! Will you get in a walk today?

I got a text reply from the window washer dude, so the only person I haven't heard back from is the carpet cleaner - which is the most pressing one, of course. Dh found more dog spots in the bedroom where S will be staying. He cleaned them up with the enzyme formula -- but still. . .

Yesterday was a dud for me - I just didn't get going and was kinda emotionally churning for a while. I snacked too much, didn't exercise or go to the car wash or even get prepped for subbing this morning. All this has aided and abetted the snowballing of my Friday into a day I don't really want. LOL!

But it will be fine. Probably even good in the end.

Of course, today, the day my dbro + dniece arrive, is the most scheduled day of my week. Also, M arrives home, so I need to make sure things in the house are ready for her - out of politeness. Like, I shouldn't leave the 2 lols in the laundry room as, knowing her, she will do her laundry from the trip almost immediately.

9 - breakfast with AC (meet her at the school at 8:45)
11-1 sub in B/I Writing class
1-1:15 short conversation with teacher C re: excessive edit requests on exams from another teacher
home; unlock door, grab quick bite of lunch
2-3 work out with AS
get the car washed so we can use it to go out for dinner tonight; otherwise, we will drive in dbro's car which dh will refuse to get into bc he will say it smells like dbro. OR we might go in dh's car, but it is small and dbro is very big. . .

I need to be otd in about 1.5 hours.

Next:
- some qt - always a good way to start the day
- reclaim kitchen
- make bed

Later:
- move laundry to our bed
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- put bedding back on guest beds; make sure room is OK

- payroll: prep to sub B/I Writing
- 11-1 payroll: teach B/I Writing

- 2-3 work out with AS
- car wash
- home; greet dbro and dniece (they say they'll arrive around 2 pm)
- reply to window washer dude
- maybe get a few groceries from WF?
- dinner out with dh, dbro, and dniece - a local pub?
- duolingo
- update WW
- update MFP
- read?
- other things?

TaDas!
- up; weighed self - slight uptick
