Living in my head rent free

My phone rang at 8:30am. I had just snoozed my alarm, wanting to linger for a bit. Who is calling me at 8:30am? 

Jess! 

Oh my, I wonder if something is wrong, this is so early! I answered. 

"I have a very not important question for you," they said. 

I laughed. "Okay - ask!" 

"What musician said "Y'all like Buddy Guy? I sure do!" Because that lives rent free in my head."

"Oh. That's Stevie Ray Vaughan. From a live album. I think he did it with... I think, Albert King and Buddy Guy. When Buddy Guy came out to perform, he asked the audience that. And they cheer."

The mystery is solved. That answered the question. It came up because last night they went to the movies to see Sinner, and Buddy Guy is in it. 

"To be honest, I really thought he had passed away..." they said. 

Well no. He has not. He's alive and kicking. And wonderful. We had a great chat and it was nice to start my day with the sound of their voice. 

Work was good. No client meetings but somehow all my check-ins with colleagues got piled up into today, which was kind of nice. 

We lost our power here at the house at 5:30pm, so both Doug and I stopped what we were doing and started to futz around for something for dinner. Power came back on, both of us were like "meh, not going back to work now!" 

Geoff was at school, so we just made the mac & cheese (by we, I mean me) and the ground beef. I thought the protein would balance out the carbs but I see my sugars are high today. Unfortunate side effect. Will do better tomorrow. 

I took Toffee for a walk at 7:30. I was just going to take her down the street and back, and then continue walking solo to get the steps in. At 7:30pm I was only at 4500 steps, so that's pretty low for me. I knew I'd have to walk extra this evening. 

She ended up doing a good job on the walk, unlike last night when she tried to get a feral cat that was prancing around in the street. How very dare he. 

Today was a breeze. We did see a lot of people and other dogs. And then we came back to the house, I cooled off (it was hot) and rested a bit. Then went out and continued my efforts. It got dark fast, and I quikly noted how few streetlights there are on my favorite walking routes. I adjusted and went a different way. Met a husky and some big white dog I've never seen. It's amazing how many different dogs there are just a half mile away from our yard. 

I got back and Doug was talking to his mom, getting all caught up on the family dramas. 

Finally, whenever Buddy Guy gets mentioned, I think about South Park when the Canadians are having a fight. They call each other Friend, Guy, Buddy when talking. So it turns into a big round robin of 
"I'm not your friend, buddy!"
"I'm not your buddy, guy!" 
"He's not your guy, friend!" 

So the fact they set it up that it is always buddy and guy in the same pairing, not guy and buddy.... it always makes me laugh. 

I'll leave you with this. This is what lives in MY head rent free.
