I drove up to Sacramento and met four lovely rescue dogs, and brought one home. She is now pacing unstoppably through the house, although periodically laying down on the futon for a minute or two.

No name yet, I haven't decided. But she's a small shepherd, with a dark face and lovely lighter-colored eyebrows. Big ear action as well.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yay, dog!

(I almost typed, "Go, Tom!" and then realized that it could be misconstrued as an imperative rather than a cheer...)

I mean, he’s gonna, either way.

I am not working on culling the closet because my back has been aching and now it’s spasming, so I’m throwing meds at it and lying flat.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Good times, Tom! I do not envy your evening. But that medical nap tomorrow will be amazing. I think colonoscopy day should be like new years day, a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Everything is cleaned out, so it's a great time to start fresh with new intentions. Like "solid foods."

Punishingly Intricate

My beloved aunt’s beloved husband passed this morning. My mom and I were able to spend time with him a couple of weeks ago and could tell it wouldn’t be long but ughhhhh. It fucking sucks. He was one of the best people.

Separately, congrats on the new dog ‘suela!! Big Ear Action aka Bea is not a bad name for a dog.
