I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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.

That is totally a win!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Skipping and not skimming to say I’m down in Nashville for the weekend with my college roommates, one of whom woke up this morning to a text from her husband saying he tested positive for Covid, so she’s out getting a rapid test and we’re trying to figure out what to do next. She said even if she tests negative she’s going to go get a hotel room and not stay in our AirBnB. And also not do stuff with us.
