Caitlin organized a virtual pub crawl where a bunch of our friends all got on video and got drunk in various rooms in our own houses

Coleslaw is, once again, lying *under* me. How is this comfortable for her?? How am I not crushing every bone in her tiny body??

The way Coleslaw is going for my cheese stick makes her seem like she is a poor starved child who has not eaten all day, BUT she had a full bowl of kibble, six (6) (!!!!) shreddy cheeses, a corn tortilla, and a crunchy tortilla chip today.

Coleslaw has all of the couch blankets incorporated into her nest and I cannot bring myself to disturb her and also I am too lazy to walk four steps across the room to grab any of the chair or basket blankets, so I shall just remain here on my side of the couch, freezing.

I finally tried on all my trousers and got rid of ones that didn’t fit or I didn’t love, and I went through the rest of my clothes shelves and closet and yanked out everything I don’t love. Stuff that’s only good for scrap fabric is in the cabbage patch and everything else is in bags to donate.

Read a book this week that had a section about the importance of experiencing awe, and like, I get it, awe is great and important, but also I get the same sense of awe from looking at my dog as I do from standing on top of a mountain

Realized I’ve never shared this one, so here’s the three dozen hot penises story
Once for my brother’s birthday my mother boiled hot dogs but forgot to stab them and they didn’t explode but they DID swell up to the approx girth of an avg penis and I had to run to the store while she had to figure out how to throw away 3 dozen hot penises without eight 12yo boys seeing them.
