Step 1A, go to the mechanic, accomplished.

Step 1B, yell at NTB (the place that did the inspection) for trying to pass off FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS of bullshit repairs on me, none of which the Honda mechanic says I need.

I am so pissed. "Your master cylinder is leaking! Your power steering pump is leaking! You need four new tires!"

Here's one for the Good Stuff. [link]

Don't get me started about how people abuse curate these days.

Miss Kitty just stole a nacho cheese dorito from me. Weird cat.

Karate group class accomplished. My knee still hurts when I land on it...I fell almost 4 months ago, shouldn't it be healed by now? I want to test for my next belt, so I'm kinda scared to ask my doctor about it and have it be a thing. But I'm also nervouse about my knee making it through a 5 hour test which will include take downs.

You can't take my curation away from me.

Suzi--it won't be worth doing if you can't do it well. See the doctor. If it's a thing it will be a thing during your test.

So this is what happens when I have a night with plans. Mac is with the grandparents, I was going with a friend to baseball, but no, thunderstorms. Possible rain delay, possibly more storms coming.

Good advice ita !.

In class I can modify what I do so I go down on my right knee, but on a test, I won't have that flexibility. I'm just so frustrated. My asthma and anemia are under control. My knee is mostly healed. I'm finally getting back to training the way I had been over 6 months ago...and now that I'm pushing my knee...grrrrr.

Today's huh moment: Some of the paperwork on Charlie said their best guess was that he was a cocker spaniel/Corgi mix, and some of it said he was a cocker spaniel/Dachshund mix, both of which I could see, but I was curious, so I did one of those mail order DNA kit things, which came back today, and neither Corgi or Dachshund made the list. According to them, he is a Chihuahua, Australian Shepard, Cocker spaniel, Pekingese mix, with a heavy emphasis on the chihuahua part.

I can't say I ever saw myself as a person who would have a chihuahua.

Timelies all!

Don't have a tumblr. I follow a couple, but in the "go to the URL regularly" way.

Lee, where do you get one of those kits. K-Bug's dog is an odd mix that no one can nail down other than including some Huskey. Is it expensive?

I have a whole pile of don't wanna in front of me. Work I didn't get to, chores that should be done, food to cook, and I'm sure there is more.

Consuela, I'm sorry for this turn. I hope the next while is as peaceable as possible.

Lee, hah!

So at least the appraiser can't make it until Monday, after which I will have cleaned? And maybe make it look less like a woman in the throes of paperwork hell lives here? I mean, they don't care about that, but stranger in my house TO JUDGE. Crossing fingers I get a good #.

Oh god, it is a cleaning weekend. And heatwave. I guess I will be putting in the ac units. Because otherwise, there is NO WAY. I will have made it until June, though!
