I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Walked the dog, and now lounging instead of vacuuming, which I really need to do: I have had my sister's golden here for a week so I have twice as much dog hair. She had a cyst removed from her back (the dog, not my sister) and the 8-month-old puppy tore open the stitches while wrestling with her!

So she is here for her recuperation: she doesn't play with my dog, they mostly just ignore each other. Very peaceful.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I'm loafing around and reading, but later I have to run out and get groceries. Extremely exciting.

Tomorrow's plans include lunch with Dad for his birthday, and then (not with Dad) watching the Bengals-Chiefs game. I know the Chiefs are favored to win (by 1 point!), but last week the Bills were favored to win, and, well, here we are. I feel like, with Mahomes not at his best, plus the Bengals combo of Burrow and Chase, we have a really good chance of going to the Super Bowl again.

Our wings are not tired.

I have been alternating between reading the boring book, doing house chores, doing work work, and watching junk tv. I just finished one work chore, having previously read and watched tv it is apparently time for me to do a house chore.

Heavy fog in San Francisco this morning, and JZ and Matilda and my MiL all sleeping in.

Sounds like an excellent plan. I've only had fog here once, but listening to the distant fog horns was quite pleasant.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I feel like, with Mahomes not at his best, plus the Bengals combo of Burrow and Chase, we have a really good chance of going to the Super Bowl again.

Here’s hoping. I made an orange cake for the last Super Bowl in their honor, and it was yummy, so I’d love an excuse to make it again. Plus, Midwestern solidarity, yo! It’s not like I expect to root for the Lions at the Super Bowl any time soon.

Breakfast out was good, and then I did some reading while Matt took a nap. Chill out factor for the day is in the high 90s, given a 100 point scale.

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

Timelies all!

It's very quiet here. Gary left for the airport around 10am and the nanny picked up Mr. S about 45 minutes later.

Enjoy the peace, Sheryl!

I'm lazing around the house: I still have a cold and I don't want to give it to anyone. Really need to vacuum, though.

Enjoy the solitude, Sheryl.

I hope you feel good enough to enjoy the lazing, Consuela.

High 90s of chill out sounds awesome. I am on my way to see family and left my house at 930am. Just landed in Dallas and now to find my next flight. I’d say “how did I used to do this all the time” but to be fair (a) I used to get upgrades or exit rows and (b) wasn’t wearing a face mask the whole time

Thrive to spite them

I'll be watching thr game tomorrow. Go Bengals. After looking at some links about Hamlin FB is sure I'm a Bengals fan from Cincinnati so I'm really getting into the spirit.

My eat still had fluid but not as much so the pressure is no where near as bad as it was at 3 am this morning or even at the walk in clinic.

M said he thinks he is getting a cold. I told him to start taking cold medicine with a decongestant so maybe he doesn't end up like I did.
