I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay tots! Yay bluetooth thingies! Boo further encroachment of the Yuletide beast.

Today would normally be my work from home day, but an instructor for whom my team made a bunch of materials was presenting about them to a university interest group. It's an open group (with free lunch), so I went in to see what the instructor had to say. He was really positive about my team's work, which was nice to hear. And then there was a "meet a therapy dog" event at the university farmer's market, so I got to pet multiple puppies. All in all, it was a pretty good day.

Loki basically has a big chin zit. He got a shot of antibiotics and I'm now to wash his face:/

What I expected, but erred with caution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That does sound like a good day, Calli!

I ended my day with a super annoying interaction, so now I get to carry that into the weekend. I just need to remind myself that I was right, and wtf was the other person doing??

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have a big RV that J is reviewing and the company made reservations at campground at a cute little town called Frankenmuth. We got there last night and I was trying to be a good supportive partner about this whole thing. When you travel in a big-ass RV, you park it and hook it up and you can't just tool around looking at stuff. One of our dogs is an old arthritic dude and we could not walk the half-mile into town. I was trying my best to enjoy the tight quarters and the fact that we had to take turns hanging out in town. Finally, J sat up in the lumpy bed and said, "I hate this. I want to go home." I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.

We left early this morning, drove the long scenic route home and then went out to lunch. We are just not RV people. Even fancy new RVs stuffed with all kinds of features (It had three TVs!).

Well, if you're ever back in Frankemuth, you should probably go boggle at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My irritating interaction of the day was my coworker telling me that if a technical problem persisted, I should contact IT.

OH REALLY.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am at the annual folk music retreat. Gary's in our room with Mr. S, while I sit in on the open circle.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Loki basically has a big chin zit.

Loki, you are not representing the shared tabby cat with dignity. This is rivaling the time Mycroft got so spun up about the sister-monster that he gave himself simultaneous asthma and hiccups.
