Ha! I am the opposite of observant then. Also... wow, lj was a long time ago!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy to report that we jumped through the many many hoops set by the underwriter and we are getting our new house!!!!!!1!!! Our extension runs out on Friday and the buyers told us they wouldn’t give another one, so it’s just in time. Closing is on Friday, which is my 65th birthday, so how cool is that?
Also, our older dog has been quite sick for a couple of weeks and we’ve been very worried. We took him to the vet last week and he had “bad numbers” on a couple of tests, so he went in for an ultrasound today. Turns out that he’s healthy, and the bad markers are due to a dead mouse he found on a walk and managed to gobble before we got to him. The vet thinks it was probably dead from mouse poison, so our dude got a little poison which had to work though his system. So that was another piece of good news. It also proves our theory that he somehow knows how much money we have and arranges to have an expensive health problem every time our bank balance looks healthy.

Anybody need anything from the pen show?
One of each?
I must say how very good it is that this was not happening while I was there. Sooooo dangerous.

Good, because apparently that's the one that I imprinted on!
Congratulations on both counts, Scrappy.
Epic - right? I know it's not my kryptonite, so that's the only reason I'm going.

Health~ma to your dad, Dana.
Congrats on the improved commute, shrift!
Glad the pup’s ok, scrappy.
My team got accepted to present at a major conference in our field! [yay!] it’s a poster presentation that has to be done in person. [not yay] But hey, the conference isn’t for months yet. [maybe yay?] But they need a commitment by next week. [not yay at all] I mean, I get that they need to nail down numbers for all kinds of things, but no one has any idea what’ll be happening with COVID and all by November. So we’ll probably decline with thanks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy House, Scrappy and Spouse!!

Coding and Sleeping
Ugh. Looks like a medication of mine increased ten-fold in price and now insurance doesn't appear to be covering it. It's a generic.
