Or. conversely, maybe he is reacting badly to the excess heat.

I have a reception today and one of my peeps who was set on attending has backed out. Anything on your plate, burrell for 10-2?

Aw, I wish I knew anything about toads.

Grocery delivery happened, right in the middle of the projected, time, too.

Phone screen interview, Part 2 still to be gotten through, though. I'm much less nervous about it, as the first part went well by my standards, and the guy has reason to be Nice to me because he had to cut it off and then didn't get back to me for hours. So I can look teamlike in my acceptance of shifting schedules.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am sad, but I am also wondering if it's okay if I name the next toad Trevor too.

I'm pretty sure my grandfather had three dogs in his life, and they were all named Frisky. (I think that's the name...)

My father grew up with dogs that often just went unnamed. He will tell a story about ". . . the dog we had before Fudd who was the best damned hunter . . ." and my sisters and I would ask him what the dog's name was. "We always call him the one before Fudd," he'd say, and we'd try and point out they couldn't have called him that always if he came before Fudd.

In a bit of what I like to think of the universe nodding it's approval, we are bringing home a puppy tomorrow. One of a litter of ten, Miss K, was definitely drawn to this one, and the rescue had named her Salsa. Salsa was the name of the search dog who looked for Sass, and who passed away this past year. We are good with this name.

OMG I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TIME ZONES WORK. A guy said to me "Can we talk at 1:30 Pacific," and I immediately put it on my calendar for 10:30 eastern. At least I realized ahead of time.

Dear Universe, this is what I want. I want an 1800+ square foot house, with 3 bedrooms and 1.5+ baths. I want a lot that's 50x120+. I want it in Clifton Gaslight, ideally on a good street, like Wood or Whitfield, but I'd settle for near Oakley (like Drake) or Hyde Park fringe (like Kendall). A bungalow would be ideal, but I'd be happy with a tudor or foursquare or anything predating 1940. It would be better to have fewer larger rooms than many small rooms; a well-laid out house means a lot. It can need cosmetic fixes as much as you want, but shouldn't need more than 1 of new roof/new furnace/etc. Knob and tube wiring and structural problems are right out unless the price is really low. Pluses would include off-street parking, a working fireplace, and a screened porch (hey, a girl can dream). I don't give a shit about granite counters, a finished basement, or decks. And it needs to cost under $300K. I know this is a lot to ask, but I've been a very good girl.
