It looks like it's going to rain all day here. Which is fine, because I need to work today (if I stop reading Avengers fanfic, that is), but it kills Tim's plans to do yard work.

I got up at 6am and did yard work before the rain. Fear me. And now we are having good drenching steady rains, much needed. We are also having pissy fits from the male members of the family, not so needed.

oof, I need my morning coffee. Better finish brewing soon.

Today's plan is to go on a walk/hike later with friends from Franny's old elementary school. This weekend has been good for active family bonding. Way better than our usual plan of sitting like lumps all weekend until the stress builds high enough on Sunday for someone to start crying.

That sounds awesome, Burrell!

It looks like most of the folklife festival stuff doesn't start until 11AM. If I were good, I"d get right on keeping myself busy until then (cleaning? Organizing? Paying bills? Running?) but I suspect I may just sit on the couch until then. I did make breakfast though!

So not a morning person.

You get up and work out in the morning. Morning-ier than many of us, you are!

Only when I won't be able to do it at my preferred hour!

I kind of like working on holidays. The rest of the company has it off so I can park very near the door. Plus most of customers don't call in--except for the ones who will call in later in the afternoon all pissy because they put off something obnoxious till the last minute but now it needs Fixed. Right. Now!

We've been crazy productive this weekend with organizing and cleaning and stuff. Today I thing getting the deck in some kind of shape and hitting the grocery store.

I was thinking of going to the folklife festival today--it's every Memorial Day weekend here and I haven't been the past few years. Lots of music and dancing and vendors.

I would go to things like Folklife so much more often if I could just teleport there and not have to deal with parking. Maybe once we get the light rail station that will eventually be within walking distance of our house...

Susan, it's totally true!! Somehow getting there isn't so difficult but just thinking about the clusterfuck that tends to be "getting home" (the busses on the way there are fine but on the way home are always full, there's never a cab to be found, but parking is a pain..)

Kitties like to hide and can not eat or drink when they are fussy or in a new enviornment.

You could probably still successfullly corral Hazel into a room and she may be getting water from another source. Penny doesn't drink from the toilet (that I can tell) BUT she'll get in the bathtub after I take a shower and lick the tub clean. Even if I've just put down fresh water.

Cats are weird.
