> Oh, yeah, speaking of, Sundays are usually my “trash bin” day, but since I missed last week’s pickup and didn’t feel like dragging it back through thick snow, I just left it there all week (one advantage of living in the 'hood is ppl don’t give a crap about things like that) so that’s one errand off the To-Do List.

Ruh-roh. I just went out to toss away a coupla more last-minute trash bags, and the big bin appears to be iced shut.

Dammit.

Well, the Oracles predict rain + above-freezing temps later in the week, so hopefully Mama Nature will take care of the problem for me. (She better; bitch caused the problem in the first place!)

I thought this meant you took him to the park for the first time, and since you mentioned a subsequent bath, I worked out that the … mud was deep? And somehow loud?

Here’s to more going even more smoothly.

May you have even more time just being yourself, until eventually, that’s all you ever are.

How do you make stew out of ribs? Do you mean, like, spareribs or St Louis like you use for BBQ, or something else?

Hey, sounds like a win!

I regret nothing!

… okay, I regret not getting a pic of the pup. But the food? Yeah, definitely made my tummy happy.

The guys working at the car wash, though … _wooooof_ what a horrible job. Standing in cold-ass weather (they’re protected from rain and wind, but still … it’s in the 20s now) spraying down cars and chipping off slush all day. They must be cold and soaked. How miserable.

Whelp, time for dumplings and other assorted snax, and then beddy-bye time for this **Shoe** and her faithful **Monkey.**
