Today’s our anniversary, and we both work, had no anniversary plans, but it seemed like we should mark the day somehow. We’d agreed on no gifts, but I went shopping and found a few gifts for him anyway, little fun things. Then there was still plenty of time before work and I sure didn’t feel […]

We went over to their house to help with creating the data for the baking experiment. The day before they had baked eight batches of cupcakes, all the same chocolate birthday cake flavor, but only one of the batches used eggs like the recipe called for.

Today I spent over an hour on the phone with our internet provider. Jay asked me to do this last night: “Please call and figure this out.” Okay. Sigh.

So, he’s installing a door knob. Doesn’t seem like a super huge job, or a thing that would require a large dog to be in the way, but there you go. I heard him bitching at her about get in or get out, go downstairs. Apparently she found a spot to tuck herself nearby. After
