Very glad we have a garage.

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

Timelies all!

It's Friday. That's all I got.

It's Friday. That's all I got.

All day long I thought it was Thursday. Earlier Brendon said not to make dinner because he wanted to go out. So on the way home from the dog park we are discussing potential restaurants. I say X shouldn't be too bad on a Thursday. Then he tells me it is Friday!!! It was like a gift basket!!

We decided to go to our favorite beachside place. Then during dinner 2 coast guard fast boats come racing along with lights flashing. It is near dusk so all patrons are concerned. If someone is in peril there should be helicopters. Then they bullhorn congratulations and we see a wedding on the beach. Must have been one of their own. Anyway, it was a delightful surprise after the worry.

Yay Coasties!

I follow one of my old coworkers on Instagram, and it's so fun to see her posts: she's the commander of an ice-breaker in the Great Lakes, so she posts all sorts of wonderful video clips of the Mackinaw going in and out of port.

I have three (!) dogs in my house tonight. J is annoyed at the disruption because F has taken her regular spot on the couch. And I'm taking R to a dog even in the central valley tomorrow. They were very barky earlier, but right now they're all peaceful and chill.

That is super cool!

I am crossing my fingers I don’t have a migraine tomorrow like I have every Saturday for the past several weeks. Do not appreciate. Also there’s a soccer game at 1230, so I can’t lay around all day waiting for meds to kick in! Come on, body!

Be good to meara, body!

Ice-breakers are super cool. I was only on an ice-breaking ferry once on Lake Champlain as a kid. It was so much fun. Crunch Crunch Crunch!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I am crossing my fingers I don’t have a migraine tomorrow like I have every Saturday for the past several weeks.

I woke up with a stabby migraine today, but Ubrelvy + caffeine seems to be getting rid of it. (Amusingly, based on my Facebook memories for this date, April 22 has been a migraine day for me several years in a row. I'm going to guess it's a combination weather change/spring allergy whammy.)

Allergies are eating my eyes this morning. All of those winter storms are paying off in tree spooj.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So dad’s memorial is tomorrow and I was supposed to head out to Jersey today to set things up and spend some time with family… woke up at 4 am in a filthy bed, my dog having it coming out both ends. He’s only 6.5 pounds - I swear there’s more exudation than dog.

So he’s cleaned up, calmed down… had two more minor eruptions but I think we’re about done now. Poor little man, he’s come so far but he’s clearly frightened that I’ll react angrily to the mess. He’s taken some water. In a few hours I’ll try some doggyolyte. Hopefully by tomorrow he’ll be at rest and fluids and I’ll head out first thing. Roommate can look in on him and handle an emergency, but poopocalypse/barfapalooza is too much to ask.
