House ~ma definitely needed. We have yet to hear back about the house with goats. And we looked at a few other places today and put an application in on one.

So good thoughts about us finding a place would be hugely appreciated.

Also bacon salt on penne w/ butter and parmesan? PERFECT.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woke up this morning with a slight sore throat, and my temperature has been slowly going up throughout the day. My temperature is now 99.8°.

I was supposed to go to my niece and nephew's birthday party tomorrow. I missed my last niece's birthday because I wasn't feeling well either.

Bah. Bit down on a hunk of cheese and yanked out my crown. Glued it back in the the denture stuff they gave me. Luckily, dentist returned my call and said that'd do until monday or tuesday and if it pops out again, just glue it back again.

I think it's a little off, but that's probably the extra glue.

Poligrip is gross.

I got my car washed. Took forever (it was a hand wash even!) but it's the cleanest it's been in forever.

Go to bed early, Tom & feel better!

Hope you get a good place soon, Kat.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Etsy's got a cool approach to different ways to shop. I certainly fell for it. More than once.

I just fell for it. At least my purchase was a gift. I may go back for a Mother's Day gift, too.

It's snowing. Again.

Tom, maybe if your niece stops having birthdays, you'll never get sick? Or maybe if you never get sick, she'll never age? Or maybe she is slowly stealing your life force year by year? (I'm full of cheery predictions).

Gr. Sigh. I'm all jangly and on edge. This is not a good feeling.

Seriously, sometimes I look out at my backyard (tiny as it is) and wish for goats. Or at least one feral pygmy goat to wander into it, like the chicken did down the street.

Tom, offer your neice & nephew (and other neice) rain checks. A day at the zoo or something. They'll probably love to have special time with their uncle to look forward to.

How adorable is this? It's a post from the sweet kid who played Anne Frank. One more reason to love the people I work with.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

OK, that was unreal.

This was my third time to caucus. In 2000, there were 3 people from my precinct. In 2004, 10 or 12.

This year? 111

Just anecdata based on what was going on with our group and the other precincts meeting at the same school, plus what I've seen on some local blogs, but Obama seems to be doing VERY well in Seattle. Our precinct chose 6 delegates for the district meeting (I'm an alternate), and we ended up with 4 Obama, 2 Clinton. Others in the gym seemed to be even more skewed to Obama--4-1, 5-1, etc.

From reports on caucuses from Slog (granted, a very self selecting audience), it seems all of their precincts went for Obama too.

I did not caucus. I am a bad bad person.
