Went to the local Pride festival thingie today. Some booths had free stuff, usually "spin the wheel" -- stickers, flags, buttons, in one case butt-themed (not even sexual; they were promoting colon health), and various candies. Others were selling-- I was tempted by many things but got two, a 3D-printed dragon and stud earrings that were purple and have Snoopy (and a tiny Woodstock) with a pride flag. 🏳️‍🌈

I got a bit sunburnt-- though at least I had a hat! -- and since the whole thing was on grass and getting back up to pavement was a bit higher than my chair liked, I got a bit stuck, but the Sac Gay Men's Chorus had just sung and a couple buff SGMC guys saw me and came to help. Swoon.

In other news, Phoebewise, I have discovered two things:

1. If she eats enough mulberries, her poop comes out black the next day

(Yes there is a very local mulberry tree with ripe berries, how did you guess?)

2. She goes bonkers at laser pointers. Like, cat level bonkers. I'm trying to figure out if I should take advantage of this for getting her exercise on hot days*, or if it'll just frustrate her because she can't eat it.


* did I mention that 2-3 days next week will be over 100 (37.8 for Celsius peeps)? I didn't give the weather permission to do that.

...did I also mention our freezer isn't actually freezing? I had maintenance come in a couple days ago and they couldn't find anything but suggested we do a few things to get improved air circulation, but it's gotten worse instead of better -- ice cream has gone from "soft-serve consistency" earlier this week to "soup". Meh.

Two of our dogs are insane for laser pointers and rarely get tired of them. The two issues are that we have to be careful that they don't slam into a wall/fence chasing it, and it's hard to convince them that it's time to stop. I'm working on "the mouse is asleep" as a stop phrase, because we call the laser toy the mouse, followed by a treat to reinforce it.

Oh no, that sounds like a complete fridge failure in progress!
