Thanks -t. I could probably drive to Madison!

In other news, I was on the board for a rescue last year and it stressed me out like whoa so when they asked today if I would rejoin for next year I said “Love to!” SMH

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

Timelies all!

Wow, a lot of family drama going on.

Of course you did, brenda! Mouths, saying things.

BTW, I decided to try the happy hour at the little pub type things couple blocks from my house that I haven’t been to since the before times. It’s nice! Not least because right now it’s just the female bartender, me and another female customer in here. Was really crowded last time I was here, so I’m enjoying the relative quiet (not literal quiet, there’s music playing and basketball with no sound on 3 TVs which I guess is actually quiet but there’s a lot of stuff going on). Also an interesting selection of beer that I will only be able to try a little of today. But now I know how easy their happy hour is, so I’ll be back!

Other customer left and bartender doesn’t seem to mind that I am on my phone in between discussing flavor profiles with her.

Note: I am not being all healthy and going to yoga (in part because I don’t feel like I have the right clothes. Treadmill@6 am and yoga@7pm require different outfits), I am drinking kombucha, beer, cider, and wine (oh no, the mixing!) and having some lamb stew, and then crashing, but I am doing it all within a few blocks of home so getting some steps in and enjoying my neighborhood

Night #2 in the basement to decrease the stairs my dog Bailey goes up and down due to a partially torn CCL. I've got a new air mattress, a nightlight, new dog bed for Bailey, now my computer, radio alarm clock, and a box fan blocking the stairs.

The dogs seem calmer than last night but they are both still, CHANGE!! WHY FOR!?!?!

I feel that, dogs.

That link looks good, msbelle! Hope it is helpful

I am home, with half a salad for tomorrow. Other than a wistful feeling that I need to take a hard look at my budgeting soon, I’m pretty pleased with myself.

I really appreciate the swords into plowshares mentality. I’ll have to figure out the right way to manage it.
