May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I am at the Lyft area in Harvard Square as part of PARKing Day. 52 Bow St. Play a simple game and get ride credits!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that's fun! I saw them setting up on Mass Ave by Lesley this morning, I guess.

Ditto, except it's so much worse because I'm working from home. I can put things off and NOBODY CAN SEE ME DOING IT.

HA HA SAME. Except I have newbies who keep pinging me with questions.

So far today I have gotten a flu shot thanks to Dana's reminder, walked two miles, made a breakfast burrito, and then got immediately sucked into an escalation so now I have to go write and submit some code.

I just know my vet isn't going to call for me to pick up Loki until like 5, so I'm probably missing swim tonight.

Working at home with just Pumpkin is extended sessions of fighting over how I get to use my hands interspersed with her sleeping so hard it makes me sleepy.

The rain has held off so far. We got lucky with the weather.

Also one if the drivers does professional magic, so I saw some lovely sleight of hand. It is so fun t to see it now further than arm's length.

Officially hit the no swim point of no return. And possibly miss UPS delivery too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Today is September 15. I just saw a Christmas commercial on TV. I think I had a rage blackout.

Intercepted the UPS guy! Got me new Bluetooth portable speaker, yay podcasts and music without carting my device along to ever room. If the vet doesn't call by 6, hafta call them cause they close at 7...

Then I got pulled into a meeting with a PM, and I haven't eaten lunch yet.

I'm making tater tots and nobody can stop me. Well, theoretically PG&E can stop me...
