dog

The dog seems to be anxious about something, because she's lying next to me on the sofa, something she almost never does. OTOH, this means she's next to me on the sofa, and I'm petting her, and telling her she's a good dog, and everything else you might do with a sofa dog.

- 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.
