Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Our wings are not tired.

I should be packing. Our flight leaves at 6:20 in the morning. Still have to do a bunch of stuff. We'll settle in SF on Wednesday. We're spending Tuesday wandering in the Reno/Lake Tahoe region. I haven't been that way before, and DH wants to revisit.

Guess I will pack up the dog for his vacation and do more packing..... I really hope my housesitter likes salad because I have so much lettuce, cukes, tomatoes, and stuff that will go to waste.

Always Anti-fascist!

I got my hair cut today. Maybe actually got what I had in mind.

I broke my pinkie toe (or, it seems and feels broken anyway) on... the dog last night! She is 100% fine.

Bringing her in from a walk, she somehow planted her tough, little, back paw in a way that ended up doing something to me as I walked past her, and caught it on her paw, and I'll be damned if MY own pinkie paw isn't black and blue and screaming every time I move it. It' been waking me up from time to time.

She is, of course, just fine, no limp or favoring of her other paw, sleeping like a baby (the kind who sleep through the night) and barely even took notice of my jam.

Broke my pinkie on a tiny, little dog paw. That's a new one.

A thousand thank-yous to the universe that I didn't fall or anything, though, TBH.

Punishingly Intricate

Ow, Jen! My arms are covered in fading bruises from my sister-in-law’s young lab greeting me enthusiastically with a big grin that exposed all her hard teeth.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jen, that sounds miserable. Maybe buddy tape it to the next toe? I think that’s all you can do for a broken toe.

Gave notice yesterday, went super great. Bosses not surprised, happy for me, a little annoyed I didn’t use them for a reference.

I am taking today off because I need a total rest day. The trip was great but pretty busy and emotionally exhausting and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I get to sleep today whenever I feel like it, and do whatever floats my boat. I hereby proclaim.

Good plan!

I'm getting flashbacks to meara's dog tripping related injuries.

Shir is coming over today! I'm putting her to work on the Memorial immediately.

Thrive to spite them

Get some sleep smonster.

Jen a broke pinkie sucks. I fracture or broke mine once and it hurt so much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Congratulations Smonster! So happy for you.

Boo on broken toes.

I’d rather watch animal videos all day instead of work. I overslept this morning and I still haven’t caught up brainwise.
