I go back and forth on Darb. Every so often she meets a dog she is mad for. And as C put it, she still kind of needs some peer pressure / coaching in how to act like a dog. But otoh we've kind of got a groove here and I don't want to mess with that.

ION, putting in an offer on the house today. I think it's pretty likely to be outbid, but we'll see.

Good luck, brenda!

Thanks!

The dog conversation reminded me I was thinking about signing up for this: [link]

Good luck on the bid, Brenda!

I had a crappy swim this morning, in part because I am pretty congested and blargh. But I have to give a presentation today so I need to be at work. Here's to a speedy AM.

Good luck, brenda! That house looks marvelous.

Me, I'm grousing about perimenopause. Bleargh. After I get a cup of tea I will take the dog for a long ramble, which will help my state of mind, I think.

I think I've passed the "peri" part, or am about to. Anyone who's had experience with hot flashes willing to talk about them?

That sounds like a nifty program. I couldn't do it right now, but seems like a good thing to keep in mind for the future.

It's that early-in-the-allergy-season time of year when my preventive meds aren't quite winning. I can stiff upper lip my way through the congestion, but I hate being so tired all the time. Should only be for another few days, maybe a week, I hope, and then I can stop feeling enormously stupid for moving to a huge almond exporting area when I know how my body reacts to all things almond.

Oh, thank dog. I thought I was relapsing into the 'flu. (I mean, I'm sorry you're stuffy too, but I am unable to cope with getting laid out again.)

Mini-Direwolf (stuffies)

Yeah, a big part of why I posted is I find myself thinking "why do I feel like crap?" way too often considering that, really, I know why. And it will pass, like everything does, but for once I have an idea of how soon.

ETA: cute widdle direwolves!
