We have the Roomba 550? I think and love it. It is a real workhorse and we use it every day. Our floors are tile and we have two dogs, one of whom sheds a ton. I can't imagine living without it. (ok, that's hyperbole). The dogs don't mind it but Frisco is scared/fascinated by it. He walks over to it, points, says " 'ba" , almost touches the button, and then runs away.
She just... she just did the math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is there a Canada tourism ad showing an iceberg disintegrating? I don't want to think about global warming on vacation. Unless it's bettering my tan, of course.
I had good news/bad news for my migraine specialist today. Good days are up 400% (to about a week), but the bad days are worse. It's always something, it seems.

I'm glad you are getting more good days, unhappy that the bad are even worse.
A neighbor is grilling. I swear, all this grilling is making me envious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tonight I am pleased with myself for having gone to a birthday party where I knew only the birthday girl and (kind of) her husband. It was a good enough time, too!

Jesse! If I want to PayPal $ to you for the board, should I use your profile address?
(I have a post-it on my laptop to remind me, and it keeps falling off, at which point I put it on the side table, until it clicks that it's a reminder post-it, and then I put it back on the laptop, and it falls off, etc. So while I'm currently remembering, I thought I'd ask you.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I should do that too.
Also, I should remember that I need to make Chuck Icons.

K clotheslined a 5-year-old kid on the slide at the playground. It caused the kid's teeth to clack in his head.
(In fairness to her, the kid sort of nudged/kicked Noah to make him move faster down the slide and then didn't wait until N got off the slide before he went. Meanwhile another kid started climbing up so Noah was confused and stayed where he was).
Does this mean we can't go back to that playground for a while?
