I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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

I picked up takeout, Burrell! And I have wine in the fridge.

That doesn't sound right "picked up takeout". Is there something wrong with it or have my ears gotten oversensitive to...something?

I hope you make it through the waters okay, Dana.

-t, I've now said "picked" like eight times and it started sounding weird with everything.

Go Liese! Sometimes being willing to pay the stupid tax is also adulting.

Oh, hey, spraying my face with some Lush toner really is very refreshing in this heat.. Cool.

Absolutely.

It's like the vowel's wrong, but there isn't another vowel that would be better. I think I subconsciously want the "take" to be "took" but I know that it isn't really a verb there and so I'm trying to change the picked?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Still on the road.

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

So today: new vet seems good, thorough but not as expensive as the last vet used to be. Luna has an infection, so we need to pill her twice a day. Yuck! Not looking forward to it, and ever so grateful that our neighbor is still willing to watch her while we are away this weekend.

Also went to the dentist for teeth cleanings (me and the kids) and to get braces put on (kids only). No wires yet, still a few steps to take first. The snaggle tooth is gone, as is one of Franny's teeth. Tooth fairy needs to pay well tonight.

I'll be right on over! Oh wait, long drive...

You can order Starbucks and pick it up along the way ( I learned today that the nearest Starbucks to me with order-ahead-technology is in Stockton, helpfully noted as 53 minutes away by the app)

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

When our kitty had an ingrown claw, after the vet clipped it away, she wanted the kitty to take antibiotics, and said the options were a 10-day course of twice-a-day pills, or for $20 more the vet would give the kitty an antibiotic shot and that's all she would need.

Best $20 I ever spent.

I woulda got the shot if it had been offered, but it wasn't. I am not sure why, but didn't ask at the time. We'll see how it goes.
