I was making an unhappy face as I was slicing up some fennel because the licorice smell was quite pungent, and I don't like me some licorice. Mixed with the rest of the salad, however, the licorice taste is much more muted, so go team trying new things.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Nice pictures, Calli! It was fun to see so many of my old friends in one place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, meara!
I had a nice day with the family, although I would have loved more outside time and less time in the car. Still nice, though!

Back from my swim and unsuccessful trip to IKEA. My arms are kinda sore. I guess almost swimming 6 miles in 3 days will do that. Mister Kitty is back to his usual self, so I'm sure he had a blood sugar crash. Scary, especially since I have no idea what caused it. I think I'll reduce his dose tonight and tomorrow.
Had chorizo empanadas and melon for dinner.

Punishingly Intricate
Ikea here has been useless lately. I am back from vacation and I have a cold. Bleh. And in am stressed because i can't get into my work email. What horrors await me tomorrow?! Am hoping if something truly horrible happened someone would have called me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Today's bluebird of happiness has been replaced by the bluejay of cat taunting and poking about my deck.
Also, Nascar racing in partial French is hysterical and rather lovely. There's a race in Montreal, which is a gorgeous track, and I am so amused watching it. Delayed on my dvr, but I still watched all of the prerace because it was in French, then English.

Possibly the funniest conversation today involved my mother trying to understand erinaceous's column about Hulk tweets. "Is Twitter always all caps??" "No, mom -- the Hulk is." [link]
