Timelies all!
Brought the car for emissions inspection this morning. It passed. Let's see if it's still around in two years for the next inspection.(2000 Corolla with almost 111,000 miles on it)
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

We are practically car twins, Sheryl! Mine is a 2001 with about 140k, although I put a new engine in it 4 years ago so I'm expecting it to keep plugging along for a while longer.
I carefully made no plans for today except to sleep in. Managed to stay in bed and dozing until about 6:30, I guess that will have to do.

Oh, nice: I thought I only had one serving of iced soy latte left in the fridge but I had 3! Now two.
Rabbit update: I have decided that the one with the blue dye is Lucy, she's a bit more aggressive than the other (Ethel) (although they are both pretty aggressive when it comes to fresh greens, Ethel seems slightly more likely to hide in the hutch) and she has a bit more of a "mane" from their Lionhead ancestry so maybe I will be able to keep them straight once the dye wears off completely.

OK: on the one hand, don't ever inform my younger self that I got up at 7AM on a Saturday to go running, because it would be too hot later. On the other hand, don't tell my future self that I only managed to do half a mile because I was breathing like a pug and sweating like a sweaty thing.
And part of the point was to decide which pair of shoes I liked better for running, and I can't decide. I really shouldn't keep both of them--expensive! Next weekend I'm doing a running form training (since I suspect I have no form, certainly no good one) so maybe that will help me decide.
Now I need to shower and head over to the place I had PLANNED to run, for a running gear sample sale. Which I might not be so into but my ex-roommate wants me to go and buy things for her. I'd thought "then I'll be right next to Greenlake, I can run then!" but it'll be 85 by then. Ew.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
slightly rough this morning but not actually hung over, even though my body has every right to be. Drank about a bottle of wine last night. oops.
But I have a cup of coffee here and waffle batter waiting to be baked, so it's all good.

Since I got 10000 steps (and 35(!) flights of stairs) according to my fitbit in by noon, I can just sit around for the rest of the day, right?

Debating crossing the street to the Caribbean Fest. On one hand, it sounds great. Otoh, it's so damned humid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes you can, Sue!
It is perfect here, and I am just back from the beach with my mom. Now to lounge some, see my father and then out to dinner with houseguests!

The beach is my dream. Without a car, it's so close and yet so far.
