I ended up putting some benedryl in peanut butter for the dog. She actually slept through much of the fireworks.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We went to an amazing fireworks show last night, but I couldn't not think about all of the scared dogs and people with PTSD.

Timelies all!
Happy 4th of July to all American Buffistas!
Mr. S is still a bit too young to go to fireworks(not to mention it being past his bedtime). We're going to go to friends' house to hang out and grill stuff later this afternoon.

Got my swim in at Druid. Confirmed there is no spf or formulation of sunscreen that will truly last one of my swims. But no burns so far. Am going to attempt a taco. Tooth seems to get worse as day progresses, but I haven't eaten anything yet, so it's pretty calm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not to suggest the obvious, sara, but are you taking painkillers in the morning and then not re-upping later in the day? Just checking.
I made it home in time yesterday to go to my uncle and aunt's beach house! So good! Spent the night on the sofa, which was great because/even though I was woken up by the sun rising over the ocean. Sunrise over the ocean is fantastic, sleeping five hours less so.
So now I'm not going to some other friends' cookout tonight so I can go to bed early and back to work tomorrow.

Went to my small town Fourth of July celebrations with a friend. It's in the nineties, sunny, and humid, so I tapped out after a couple of hours. It was fun while it lasted, though. Sorry about the tooth woes, sarameg.

So.....I think I have learned something about the rash I get sometimes from the sun. It must be burn + heat, because I got a slight sunburn on my upper arms on Saturday (farmer's tan), but then had sleeves on again yesterday and today, and now I have the rash. At least my work clothes also have sleeves. But I guess I should only be hot one day in a row?

I'm taking Advil all day long.
I got TWO tacos. And tamarind agua fresca and it was good & filling. And I probably won't eat anything else today because even not chewing on that side made it kinda mad.
I'd like to sand & stain, but gonna wait to see if it storms ( & cools things off a bit) first.

Dude had such a good sense of humor about the whole deal!
