I'm sorry, Consuela. She was a good dog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hope the sick kids are improving today.
Gave W an extra belly rub this morning TNG's honor.
I may have to abandon my plan to drink caffeinated coffee on Saturday's. Less than 6 hours sleep last night for no apparent reason unless it was the ONE cup of coffee in the morning. And the spreadsheet brain-gerbils, but they should have let me sleep in this morning.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not much going on today. Groceries and some other errands. Also, it's hucking fot.

I'm so sorry, Consuela.

Trimmed the bushes out front. Sadly without the hedge trimmer. I think the battery is donefer. But SAWZALL FTW! Decided a branch had to go, went down to grab the Swedish saw, lit upon the sawzall. So much less sweat!

Aww, TNG. She was a good dog.
I hope the sick kids are improving.
It's supposed to start storming again in a few hours, so I need to get out the door to run errands and be back inside doing laundry when the rain comes.
We won at hockey last night. Next game is in Chicago on Monday, and the city is gonna be straight up BONKERS because we could win the Stanley Cup on home ice.

Pruning via sawzall is cracking me up.
Good training run (by which I mean walk/jog) this morning. I less-than-3 my heart rate monitor. And I think I can talk myself out of any more fiddling with spreadsheets until tomorrow (unless I decide to get on top of my finances like I should, but that would at least be different spreadsheets...)
Oh, basketball finals tonight, I should probably watch that. Or at least find out when it's on. I don't follow basketball, like, at all but I just cannot wrap my head around the Warriors doing well. That's the one thing I knew, that the Warriors were terrible, but I guess it isn't true anymore.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Consuela, I am so sorry. We never get enough time with them, but you made such a difference in her life.
shrift, I will note that there is a major tech-bus stop not 2 blocks from my apartment, right in front of a sushi restaurant. (Not one I'd recommend, actually, but still.)
I am so Not A Fan of the NBA, and everyone assumes that I watch because I am a very public sports fan, and I'm happy for my friends who are Warriors fans, but good gods I'll be happy when it's over.
OTOH, go Blackhawks! Also, USA Women's Soccer!

Adventures in Cooking continue! Please share your favorite guacamole recipes, keeping in mind that cilantro tastes like soap to me and raw peppers give me acid burns. I have had some guacamole that made me want to lick the bowl clean and some that made my mouth go numb from peppers. There must be a way that this Middle-American with mid-century tastes can recreate the ne plus ultra of guacamole.

Guac:
Finely chop shallots (or red onion) & garlic (quantity in proportion to how much you like said flavors & how many avocados you have)
Put the shallots & garlic in the bowl to be used for guac
Squeeze half a lime over the shallots & garlic
Wait 5-10 minutes
Peel avocados, squeeze the other half of the lime over them, & smoosh them in
Add salt & pepper to taste
