"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Thanks, Burrell!

You are allowed whining, Steph! Sheesh.

But go to the doctor.

Aww, old guy Kato.

Apparently, the Biscuit made an old guy friend in the kennel next to his while he was boarded. Apparently, the two of them would take turns going out into the play yard, but then when they were both inside would lie along the fence between them, nose to nose. Seabiscuit is a kennel favorite, and when the guy was telling me about them, he said, "If they'd had a chessboard, they would have been at it." He said they were like two old dudes sitting on a park bench together all day. All the other dogs would make a ruckus, and they would just lift their heads and look around, and then go back to napping together.

CHEESE.

My next post will hopefully be about what tasty stuff we find at TJs this afternoon.

I went to the farmer's market! For a change, I got there early enough to buy strawberries before they sold out. Delicious strawberries. I'm drinking tea right now to fortify myself for TJs.

Aw, the Biscuit!

Chimney cap installed and new tarp deployed.

And Loki just trapped himself in the box the chimney cap came in. Rolled it over upside down with the flaps folded in. @@

Yes, you have a consistency and a focus that I do not.

Consistency is a necessity because the moment I move to a non-daily schedule I stop all together. It's all or nothing. I do it every day or not at all.

I bought two pounds of cheese (woops!). Holy Cow [link] cheese, Whiksy Cheddar: [link] Sartori Cheese with Espresso [link] and TJs version of Dragon Cheddar [link] NOM NOM NOM!

not your mom's socks.

So, tomorrow, the annual boobsmash now has a bonus ultrasound on the side to look at why the rest of my bits are staging revolution yet again. I am about to climb out of my skin with nerves, and am so sick of this, so if I haven't used up all the ~ma from the DH stuff, I could really use some "nothing too scary or terrible, but just enough so I can trade this thing in for a jetpack" ~ma.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I climbed a mountain yesterday and saw the 7th highest lake in the US. Fortunately, we got a ride back down the mountain. Unfortunately, it came with a nice dose of Family Awkwardness Because Grandpa's A Creationist.

Now I want cheese, despite getting excellent doughnuts this morning. Like, really amazing, especially the Creme Brule one that was legit crunchy on top.

Wait, there's a "trade it in for a jetpack" option? Dude. Want! Particularly given the cramps I was having yesterday.

Mmm, cheese sounds nice too.

Just met one of the mayoral candidates! One that I might actually vote for, we'll see. But honest to god, door to door, introducing himself.
