We took the car to a carwash and did the interior ourselves before getting the wash (I still love going through a car wash just as much as when I was a kid), then I dropped the dog off at the vet for All The Things, and I've been working steadily since I got back. Adulting!

Now I'm going to lie on a yoga block to release my back strain, yikes.

I have been minimally productive, with some work and chores. It's a beautiful day though so I do need to get outside.

My son's girlfriend bought a kindle holder and remote page turner to read in bed. I think it is rather hysterical, but she loves it and I love her for treating herself. [link]

Sometimes your arms get tired of holding a book or reader before you want to stop reading. I get it. I have been known to switch between e-book and audiobook for that reason.

I think she likes her hands free to play with their kitties.

I have been tempted to get a holder and page turner so I can have my arms under a blanket.

All good reasons!

I have to say that Lana loves hers. She was posting happy videos turning pages.

I did NOT succeed in getting Matilda up before noon.

However, I DID succeed in getting her to go out to brunch with me when I did get her up.

She's off to therapy in a few and EM is coming by to organize.

We'll all go to dinner tonight with Emmett to Bar Crudo: [link]

Fancy seafood! Happy Hour Oysters!

Ooh, that is a nice looking happy hour! $2 oysters is pretty good! I still want to be able to get them for a quarter but I know that's not a thing that will happen.

Hi, friends. We are back from an amazing vacation to Ireland nested inside the trip we took to Connecticut for Dad's memorial. We've been gone 2.5 weeks, the longest we've ever been away from home at the same time. I need to go back and read since I tried to stay mostly offline and just skipped a bunch, but I hope everyone is okay.
