Aww sad pig news.

Scrappy that sounds great! And Jesse dogsitting on a beach in Maine also sounds great! ….mostly anything that is not “work 7 more hours today and then 4 more days this week” sounds great, though, tbh.

That does sound pretty great.

We just finished our two weeks dogsitting Cupid, and it was so sweet having her around the house.

Also, I learned an important lesson about dog ownership: little dogs have little poops to clean up.

Sorry abut Pickles David.

I spent the weekend on the sofa, binging Sandman and reading. I'd have been doing that a fair bit anyway, but I managed to roll my foot on a hickory nut in my apartment parking lot last Friday, and bruised/strained the foot enough that I was on crutches all weekend. I'm doing some around-the-apartment walking without them today, and things are tender but definitely healing. There are also impressive scrapes on my elbow and knee that have reached the itchy phase of healing.

At least Sandman was fun.

Who knew they were so hazardous?

There should be a word in German for when the edge of your scab is healing and it's pleasurable to scratch the perimeter.

I mean, I know there is a German word that means "Pleasurable Irritation" but I want something more specific.

Aw, man, sorry about Pickles. Sounds like he needs a single-pig home situation.

Beach and dog in Maine, awesome.

Twisted ankle, not awesome.

Successful overnight, thumbs-up. Sleep also thumbs-up.

Black Forest Cake, HUGE, thumbs-up. And belated Happy Birthday.

I finished writing my project; now I just have to proof it and check the links. That's the easy part. ETA: I just fixed my comma splice with a semicolon in honor of Steph.

So THAT'S why the choir of angels started singing!

Schorfkante kratzen?

In other, sad news, Olivia Newton John has died. [link]

Schorfkante kratzen

But does that have the pleasurable connotation?

Aw, too bad about Pickles, but you gotta look out for Prubs first

Glad Scrappy Day was successful, Scrappy!

Yay dog sitting, boo injuries, yay healing

There's, like, an "every time a person uses a semicolon right, a grammar queen adds a diamond to her tiara" joke or something. Maybe too far from angels, bells, and wings?
