sheveled then completed the grocery list after ensuring that all the digital coupons were clipped. drove to daughter’s, gave Bella a few rubs then we were off to brunch. I had a breakfast quesadilla stuffed with canadian bacon, scrambled egg, avocado, tomato, onion, cheese; seasoned home fries on the side; daughter had cinnamon swirl pancakes with a side of bacon. I was annoyed that the cheque showed a total of $40.79 and an amount labelled Pay With Cash $39.22 which amounts to a 4% charge for credit card fees. I used cash yesterday to reimburse my friend for the albacore tuna that she had purchased for me from costco and also for the lunch cheque. I hadn’t replenished my wallet. All I had was $30 and daughter had no cash as she had spent it all on gas. So, I asked to pay $30 cash and the rest on the card, thinking that I would save about a dollar or so on credit card fees. Oh no, the credit card was rung through for the diff between the currency and the Pay with Cash amount. I protested to no avail, explaining how the fee is calculated to be 4%. so I requested that the charge be voided, my currency be given back to me then ring the total on the credit card (because if I’m going to be charged the credit card fee anyway, I might as well put the entire amount on the card so I can get the points toward my car insurance; card is through State Farm).
Then we went back to daughter’s and I took Bella for a walk. She was walking kind of lethargic at first then after a block, she had her constitutional. Then she started walking quite spritely for about another 3 blocks. Then she was lollygagging on the boulevard and started making a weird sound and ended up vomiting the undigested contents of her stomach. I didn’t have my phone so we had to walk back so I could let Bella rest while I got a big scooping spoon and walked back with a good size bag to clear the residue off the lawn that she had vomited on. After both of us resting for a bit, we went on another walk so I could return a book that I had borrowed from a Little Library in the neighborhood. No unpleasantness on this part of the walk. I was able to borrow a Grisham book, a book by Alexander Solzenitzen and Stacey Abrams book from the Little Library. I now have plenty of reading material for a potential vacation week after next .

Perhaps you should get a dog, like Zeke the WonderDog who chases, catches, brings back frisbees at Spartan football and sometimes basketball games. Labrador Retriever. If wife disagrees, she has a choice: she learns to play and likes it or you get a dog. 
Mollie does Squeaky have an idea of what he’d like to major in? Is that part of how he’s picking a university? Or does he have other criteria?
And good reading material indeed!
It’s a favorite show that I rewatch from time to time, and I just started watching it again two days ago; coming across the set felt like fate. It’s only 484 pieces, and I built it in a couple of hours between getting home and dinnertime.
