Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Well it already came out, which seems super quick since she just realized it was loose today, and I'm a little freaked out. The tooth fairy is attempting to do his job now.

Good luck, tooth fairy!

I spent today in some friends' backyard having a mini "fall fest"—they got pumpkins and sheaves of cornstalks and pressed cider from their own apples, and we watched Halloween stuff on a projector outside. And thankfully even though it was supposed to thunderstorm, it was beautiful out and we had blue skies!! I hadn't seen any of them in two or three weeks, so it was really good to see them. And puppy got to run around a bunch in their giant back yard and then conk out. And then run some more, rinse repeat.

Our wings are not tired.

Fun, meara! Also, as my vet always says, a tired dog is a good dog.

That sounds lovely, meara. And now I want to go see how cider and apple juice are different and how you press cider.

ETA: Well, that was easy. Basically filtering and pasteurization. Check.

I went to my first house showing as a potential buyer yesterday. I liked the neighborhood, yard, exterior, and living room, but the kitchen/dining area, bedrooms, and bathrooms were no bueno. Didn't make an offer, which was just as well since it was a bit out of my comfort zone price-wise.

Jackson took back his spot sleeping on me last night, for the first time since Little Britches was released into general population. And Molly shared an end table-top with him briefly this morning without hissing or raised hackles, though she was clearly barely tolerating his presence.

Mmmmmmm.... Apple cider. It was everywhere in Michigan, but hard to find at grocery stores in California.

I bought some yesterday at Whole Paycheck. It was interesting that they had it labeled by variety, so I picked my favorite apple (honeycrisp). Will try it later today

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

Timelies all!

Supposed to rain today, but hasn't started yet.

I'm eating my first ever (vegan) ramen right now, AIFG.

Shir, you'd never had ramen? Or you'd never had vegan ramen?

I'm annoyed I tried on jeans and the pair in one size zipped up but were squishing me tight....but the next bigger size was literally so big I could easily pull them off without unbuttoning!
