One time, Tim called me "Boo" and I laughed — because I thought it was cute! it was a laugh of delight! — but he never did it again.

Aww. The way pet names are twisted and turned cracks me up. I call my dog Goofus a lot. The friend who is dog sitting him bought him shoes and it is cracking me up watching her instagram stories.

I’m on the Oregon coast, with friends and their family. It was such a long drive yesterday, we didn’t get in until close to midnight. Hoping the drive back is much faster at the end of the weekend!

Jen I do not recommend the leg cramps! Drink up!

Smonster well fitting underpinnings are important indeed. I just tried the Reddit bra that fits calculator and the size seems improbable but I may try it next time I’m shopping and see if it actually works.

All beloveds are “boo” most of the time, right??

Matilda started as "Boo" but she's became "Boodle."

She survived Prom #1! Which was on a boat in high winds.

Tonight she has Prom #2!

Tonight she has Prom #2!

How do you top a boat in high winds? Towering inferno?

We are off shortly to wedding #2. (I say "shortly," but Tim is still not dressed and is currently shaving and we really need to leave in 15 minutes. I may have to go herd him.)

Anyone wanna do a chore day? I have house guests next week and things are both dirty and messy.

I got right up and was very effective this morning and am now done, so that's good. I have been to the supermarket twice today, which is maybe not the MOST efficient, but at least it wasn't crowded, on a beautiful day during a long weekend.

Is today anything to do with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? A word puzzle I'm doing seems themed to it.

Towel day I think.

AHA!

I was very productive today. Did a bunch of work and then went up to Milwaukee to the storage unit and spent several hours sorting crap up there. We’re moving it all to a closer storage unit, but also trying to dejunk and get as much as possible into a yard sale as we can before that. When my dad first moved to the cabin, it was intended to be temporary, and so he kept a lot of crap that otherwise was probably not worth storing.

I came back to the cabin and spent some time getting the rummage stuff organized, and the screen porch dejunked. And at that point I was on a roll so I got the deck reorganized and set up for summer.

Now I’m sitting on the deck, having a beer and listening to all the birds and frogs. And about to go inside because my otherwise very nice neighbor seems to be burning a bunch of damp wood and from the sound of it possibly doing wheelies on a riding mower? IDK. It’s approximately mosquito o’clock so I’d be going inside around now anyway probably.

I took Tilly for a 5-mile hike this morning, then had lunch with some friends, and took a nap, and did yard work.

A good Saturday.

Except my climbing partner says she's going to stop climbing for a while because (we're old) she's having trouble recovering from injuries. Which sucks because I'm much better at climbing with people than on my own.

Also Tilly has a cough and I cannot get her in to see the vet before Wednesday, probably. She does have all her shots, including bordatella, so I don't know what this is.

Anyway I'm watching some of the American Baking show on Roku. Which is fun -- I really like Zach Cherry, particularly. He's pretty great.
