- The day began with getting trod on (and nearly trampled) by a bitch-mare named Chloe. My foot isn't broken, but is bruised and a bit swollen.
+ Under the malign influence of xthread, I tracked down a local source of Greylock Gin, but instead came away with their Ethereal Gin. It's Batch 4, not the Batch 5 they're currently advertising, but it's still "A wildly complex gin that you can taste from 3 feet away". Not an everyday gin, but I'm glad it exists (and that I have a bottle of it).
+ Plus lunch at a taqueria near the MSPCA that caters to the local Mexican/central American population, so it's double-plus good. (OTOH, the town where I actually live is so damn white, it doesn't even have Taco Bell.)
+ lyonesse's pwny has finished his course of doxycycline (which I've been giving the last several days, because she's home tending to her dog).
- My own mare has been leaving about half her grain (admittedly she gets an enormous 5 quarts, twice a day), but is still right around 900 pounds. Not panicking, just watching.
-+ Of my own volition, I'm getting drawn back into Arisia at a management level. I really don't care who gets which title, and I approve of the plan, so it seems to be a positive. But management isn't my strong suit, and recruiting even less so, so I'm worried about that.
- Didn't get much work done today, will have to try to make it up on the weekend.
