Musings

  • Apparently, my love language is getting up at 6 AM, taking care of the dogs, then cooking a pound of bacon and scrambling some eggs so that She Who Shall Not Be Named can have a hot breakfast before heading to the office.
  • Irish Woman has become slightly involved with a local pet rescue organization. It mainly involves making donations and promoting Facebook posts about puppies they have for adoption. Luckily, when either of us gets the “But we could have just one more dog! Look how cute they are!” urges, the other still has the sense to say “We already have three!” I shudder to think of the chaos that would ensue if our cycles ever synced up.
  • It is now June. Summer has finally arrived in the form of air that is reminiscent of a wet blanket fresh from the dryer. Irish Woman spends her evenings digging in the dirt and finding ‘creative’ ways to grow things in dirt.
    • On a side note, she’s planting several varieties of mint. Next year, I will need a flamethrower and machete to reclaim what her ‘herb garden’ has conquered.
    • We had a mint patch for a while at the old house. There’s nothing like running mint over with a riding lawnmower to clear the sinuses after it has grown out half a furlong into the lawn in a week.
  • I am currently trying to formulate this year’s “I know it’s almost Father’s Day, but please don’t get me anything. If I want or need something, I’ll get it for myself.” strategy.
    • No, I have enough gadgets, thanks.
    • I don’t care how cool it looked in the ad.
    • Yes, the tee shirt is cute. I have enough tee shirts.
    • No, I don’t smoke.
    • I don’t wear ties anymore.
