and i honestly can't believe that chik fil a doesn't slather mayo on EVERYTHING. My experience in the South was that getting anyone to hold the mayo is tantamount to food heresy. Rather a problem since the stuff makes me projectile vomit. Vile, evil, nasty stuff.

Much like my trying to get them hold the sweet in the sweet tea? I get it's a thing but be honest when I ask about unsweet tea. I'd be happier with water than a lie.

Erin are you back and around? We should ...text and such. Or hang out once this place stops trying to kill me and the critters.

I is indeed back! have free time tuesday....

We shall text and hang. I'd say we should plan but I realized I am iffy on what day it is and that's a bad time to plan. I live by the hourly weather forecasts until well into tomorrow night.

I did invoke the Name of Nico with Puppycat the other day. She pulled an elastic piece of something away and I warned her not to nom it.

He ate half a plastic bag while i was sleeping last week. It's been pretty unpleasant around the box for days. You'd think he'd learn...

Just woke up from a wrk related sleep goblin: pseudoboss email filled with foul, mean for the sake of cowing staff, and reverse decisions I should have seen coming. A little too close for comfort. I'm taking a few days off atm-so getting this treatment from my brain is kind of telling. I love working with the folks there. But maybe that's not enough.

I am full of gronk and crankiness on this hot summer night. portlanders are being extra stupid tonight and it's making me even more cranky. everyone needs to go to bed already.

As always, the Matilda and Emmett show rocks!

Pix, I'm very happy that Byron has something so treatable and I'm loving the Kaylee videos. She is smart and adorable.

FYI - 6 mile hikes in SE PA are not recommended for those of us who a. have bad backs and b. are really not used to hikes or hills. That being said: other than the pain I am dealing with now, I think it was worth it. Just to hang out in that lovely green darkness and listen to my cousin relating old family scandals. Also, I got to taste wineberries.

Also, could that hike be the reason why randomly my left leg started having horrible pain last night? (It starts around my left hip, goes down my leg and is most painful in my left shin.) I've taken some pain stuff for it but think I may need to try to get a ride to the doctor's office.

I dozed on the patio a bit and have now closed up the house like a cave and am going to Real Sleep. I obey Eriln, it seems. Do not like HOT.

Zzzzzzzzz

I enjoy both the mayo and the sweet tea (a LOT) but I agree that one should not lie about the sweetness of tea!

Today is my first official day of doing volunteer work for the neighborhood association!
