ysobelWent 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.
