Oh no! The Guinea Pig we were going to get seems to be gone.

Maybe because JZ has already chosen her? IDK.

Boooo for the guinea pig for being too popular.

Talked to my lawyer. The workers comp finally assigned a lawyer to my case. So yay. Getting fired by the neurologist is also good for my case. So I just hang out and wait.

She was adopted. We're trying a neutered male now. I'm a little dubious, but they're supposed to be more harmonious.

Prubs seems to be pretty chill and compatible with Gimlet.

So whereas I had imagined her mothering/mentoring younger females, what we're getting is more like a romance at the old age home.

I mean...we could get two young sisters too. We got a bigger cage that could handle four.

Here is Gimlet's description from the animal control website: "Gimlet is a classic gem of a guinea pig gent, not unlike his namesake cocktail. He's well balanced (in his enjoyment of exploring and chilling in his hidey hole), is the epitome of good taste (leafy greens, yum!) and has a soupçon of elegance. Granted he lacks the scurvy-preventing lime of the gimlet cocktail, but he more than makes up for it in cuteness. "

What a description! I hope they get along famously.

I am a bit bewildered that that is good news, askye, but I accept it and congratulate you.

A couple ore hours and I will be on vacation! I'm going be all reckless and go out two nights in a row so I can enjoy PTO happy hour. Then tomorrow morning I kick off my vacation proper with an exciting trip to the DMV and then we'll just have to see what may develop.

Speaking of happy hour, I have an important question. The place I am planning to go has some season summer cocktails I want to try, but it is also Wine Wednesday so I feel like I should have a glass of the expensive pinot while it's discounted. So cocktails before wine or the other way around?

Gimlet is a delightful name. I hope the pair become best buddies.

Hmmm, I would have the wine first, for no particular reason. Just makes sense to my palate.

One vote for wine first. I was kind of leaning towards cocktail and appetizer and then wine with dinner because that seems civilized but it also seems like my tastebuds might overwhelmed before I get to the wine. So IDK

To complicate the issue, I just noticed that they also offer a flight of 3 sangrias so maybe I will just switch to that? Hm.

Golf carts are the preferred transportation

I own four golf carts. Well, rather I have four of them for my company, but for about 8 months of the year one of them lives up at our house.
