I’m sitting next to the cutest little baby Shep. She’s our latest foster from Westside German Shepherd Rescue (and before anyone makes any cracks, we’ve successfully fostered two other pups after failing with Newton—no really, we aren’t adopting her). Her name for now is Maxie. She’s got some healing to do, poor thing. She’s malnourished and dehydrated and has conjunctivitis in one eye and an upper respiratory infection—but with meds and TLC she will recover and be ready for adoption in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, cuteness!
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Pix, is that the one with the adorable ears on your book of the face?

I want to nom on her ears! I can't stand it!
In other news I have a meeting until 6:30 today. The bus leaves at 6:32 a 5 minute walk away. The next bus is not until 7:38, so unless I can leave early, I will not get home until 8:40.

ND says they are Flying Nun ears, which is about right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, is there no way you can leave early? Five minutes seems like not very much to ask for.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
the one with the adorable ears
That is one cute puppy.
I'm drinking a San Pellegrino Pomegranate and Orange fizzy soda-water thing. It ought to be delicious, but it tastes like that "cherry" flavored medicine I had to swallow when I was a kid and had a cough. Ugh. Glad I didn't buy more than one of these.

Zenkitty, when it comes to flavored fizzy water, there's a fine line between "oh, this is pleasantly refreshing!" and "*clawing at tongue* dear god what is this noxious concoction?!"

Ha! Yeah, SanPellegrino flavors have always pleased me before, even the grapefruit, but this one is rather vile. And yet I'm still drinking it.
"Is it still vile?"
"Hmm. Yep."
"How about now?"
"Hmm. Yep."
..."Now?"

I'm betting most people in a meeting lasting until 6:30 would LOVE a valid reason for stopping it ten minutes early, so long as they have advance warning. Having to keep the meeting moving along will motivate participants to be more concise.
Seriously, even if it does take five minutes to walk, ask for ten so that you're covered if somebody important buttonholes you or you drop your packages or trip going down the stairs or whatever.
