We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, baby goats! I love them.

So Dad left the sink running yesterday and caused a flood that went down two floors in his assisted living facility. And then didn't mention it to any of the maintenance staff. ARGH.

I'm not loving this.

OK, off for my long run. Which may help with the stress, or at least give me a good workout.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good job, people who have already accomplished things today!

I have gotten dressed, so that's something I suppose. I'm not sure about this outfit, frankly, it's rather pale, but it is on my body and that is the important thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks for the info, Scrappy and Kat. It makes me less suspicious of what's going on in my legs, but still think I should bring it up with my PCP next time I see her. But maybe don't need to rush in to see her, just make a regular check up appointment.

Going to a fancy potluck lunch today. Will report back.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bathroom update: floor ripped up. I can report that sometime in the 40s, it had brown flowered linoleum. There are holes in the wall, as they started taking the tile off around the bathtub. Like a lot of older LA houses we have a separate bathtub and shower. Since we only have one bathroom, they're doing the bathtub first, so we can still shower, although it is odd showering in a construction site.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So far today, I have taken the car to the dealership for scheduled maintenance and now I am sitting at home wondering if they are going to call and tell me all of the collision repairs means it is no longer under warranty.

I may go back to sleep instead.

I had a whole plan to get up and run before it was hot out. Then I hit snooze for an hour (and eventually got up and made breakfast and stuff) and now it's almost 11AM. So much for that plan. Maybe tomorrow?

I really should go do things. Even if those things are, like, shopping. But it's one of those "if I'm going to Store, I should also go to Other Store, and grab that thing I need to return, and should really bag up some of the things I need to get rid of and donate, before I do that...or I could just sit on the couch because dammit it's the weekend"

Oh, yes, Over-Ambitious Girl, the bane of people trying to get things done. Always scolding for not doing Something More when you're just pleased to get Something done.

I am in my pajamas still, but soon I need to start running errands because I just agreed to meet a friend at a sports bar to watch Game 7 tonight.

The only thing I'm getting done, today, is baking a strawberry-rhubarb pie. Anything more than that is strictly gravy. But not for the pie.
