The big dog (Maya, I dog sit for) and little dog (Miley, foster) are annoying each other and getting into barking battles. I think I am annoyed more than either of them.

Miley wants all the attention. Maya wants to go for a walk. Miley also wants to play and I think Maya is scared of her - it's not a great cycle and so super Alpha voice has come out and everyone has been told to go to their places and be quiet.

It's almost dinner time for them and after that maybe it'll be cool enough to take a walk. Ugh - just looked it is still going to be 90 degrees at 8pm.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Scanning for not-POC, not-old, and not-ugly, in a way that they don't have to tell you to your face and justify it according to law. Nope, nope, nope.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Figures I have a rehearsal and the Saints have a season-opening Monday night game.

hip deep in pie

It's pecan, which is pretty sweet, so can stand a high crust to filling ratio. Because the crust is the best part.

A pecan hand pie is super similar what we (Canada) call a butter tart (w. pecans and not vile raisins) and they are delicious. So I can vouch that two-bite size ones would be perfect. [link]

Our wings are not tired.

After DH's Canadian grandparents passed away it fell to me to make the butter tarts. Way sweeter than I tolerate myself, but DH was super pleased and missed his Gramma less.

I just tried to schedule a flu shot at Walgreens and had such a bad user experience failure that I went from angry to entertained by how bad it was. I gave up on their website and scheduled a flu shot via the app, because I want to get that done before I leave the country again in a few weeks.

Next time Walgreens asks me if I want to give feedback, I probably should tell them all the ways they're Doing It Wrong, but I don't have that kind of free time on my hands.

Also, I am assured that I do not have to take a work trip to Singapore, so now I am concerned that I will be asked to take a last minute work trip to Singapore.

Is it flu shot season already? God DAMN.

I mean, it's recommended that you get a flu shot by the end of October, so I'm going in a little early.

smonster posted on FB that she just got diagnosed with the flu.

Is that still her name here? I'm tired and headachy and have had too much Brahms.
