Okay, yeah, I went just a wee bit overboard here, but can you tell I’m UBER excited about this? Before I leave Midgard, I have to try to bring something about this to Wichita as there really seems to be no kind of recognition here for the date.
Essie cuddled into me all night. That, however, comes with a hazard. She got sick on the bed. Well, hel, I’m up and at ‘em doing laundry WAY BEFORE sunrise.

Break time

Lunch @ the “Let “Em Eat Brats” food truck downtown. Like an UBER foolish idiot, I showed up with a German flag draped around my shoulders. Arriving at the truck I made sure to ask if this was horribly offensive. I was told by the wonderful people inside the food truck it most definitely was not.

Neighbor, who’s a plumber, agreed to come over to look at and fixed my malfunctioning toilet. Parts and labor he only wanted to charge me $40. I gave him $60.
*He gave me the bad news that Fish had to be put-down due to fluid on the lungs. OMGs I cried!
**Fishy certainly got his guidance in journeying (Sowulo) as he accepted that which could not be averted (Not).
**I LOVED THAT CAT SO MUCH!
**many, MANY tears…
Separated recyclables
Essie in the backyard for some sunset outdoor time.
What the hel happened to the evening?

Yeah, okay, so I’m not going to make the other two practice exams…
I have no idea when I fell asleep in that gods-forsaken green chair.
