It was somewhat slightly less warm today! As I was hosing off outdoor kennels at work, it occurred to me that, with the breeze, it was even almost pleasant. Amazing ( Read more... )

Peter, Ken, and I satisfied a late-night snack craving yesterday evening, the sort you go for when you've had some kind of dinner long enough ago that without a bite to eat, you'd be going to bed uncomfortably un-full. I selected buttered toast with Nutella, since Ken had made decaf coffee. (Ken and Peter have lately developed the habit of drinking ( Read more... )

I don't have much tonight. It was an okay day, though we had a meeting (three-plus hour meetings are not one of the things I'm going to miss about this work, I'll tell you what), and I had a headache. Meh. Peter and I went downtown for dinner though, and joined some of his Student Christian Movement friends at a cute little restaurant where they ( Read more... )

She told us we had to become "21st Century ( Read more... )

Okay well one of the better parts of today (note: it was a p. good day) was when I came downstairs for a seven-minute break in our conference call team meeting and saw Kahlo, one of our neighbors' cats (the other is called Freida) on the porch ( Read more... )

Peter and I helped take tickets at a fundraiser for Aurora House this evening, which was diverting for the time we were there at least. Our shift was the hour before the first band began, and we left shortly afterwards, because all of the food at the Gladstone, which was hosting the event, was of the fancy-and-pricy variety. (To be honest, any ( Read more... )

Today I went on a walk because it's supposed to rain soon. Eventually I wound up at the local grocery store, the not-singles-night store; we were out of milk and no one else had gotten any yet ( Read more... )
