I thought maybe we'd go oot and aboot today but we stuck around home and I'm super okay with that.
At about 3:30pm Doug decided to take the dog for a walk and invited me. Instead, I opted to stay here and vacuum. But my vacuum cleaner wouldn't work, which, lol no pun intended "sucks." I took it all apart, I cleaned the filters, I futzed with it. Ended up getting the hand held dirt devil out and sitting on the rug and vacuuming it, which is dumb. Not sure how long we've had this vacuum but it has to be 10 years at this point. It's always been a pain in the ass to use, clogs easily, it is a jerk.
While I was fighting with the machine, my neighbor texted me at 4:15 to see if we wanted a puppy play date, but they would have to leave at 5. I thought that was not quite enough time for serious fun so we decided to check in after we get back from our trip. But lo and behold, Doug came back from his walk and the dad was out with him talking at the gate, with their dog. So we did end up having a playdate for a half hour.
Worth it. Dog insanity. Just absolute bliss and joy. Too fast and blurry to get a good picture. Toffee needed this because I know she misses that level of play since Dahlia left. And miss Meg is just the best. I love how they're just about the same size now, and like two giant bulldozers running all over the yard together.
Doug ran to the market to get rolls for the burgers as I made them and grilled them. I watered the plants and had a glass of wine while that was going on. Just a perfect day.
After dinner I had to take a walk, I planned on 20 min but took an extra loop around another block and that pushed me to 32. On the way back I met a couple of men with a gorgeous chow chow. His name is Max, I forget their names. But that's typical of me. I know all the dogs by name but not the people. I hadn't seen them before, they said they recently adopted Max and he seems aloof to people. He didn't look at me or expect pets. They did say he stopped to nose kiss and tail wag with Toffee a couple of times, and they said she's so sweet. I felt proud. We just chatted, us humans. Nice way to end the stroll.
I have two days of work this week, and I'm regretting not taking the whole week off to do no work. Zero work. But I'm glad I didn't - my colleague Josh is moving, so he announced he's taking this week off to pack and get out of his place. Lease on his new place signed for June 1. I'm happy for him. He's off to Pittsburgh!
I took a bunch of flower pictures, but I'm too lazy to post them. Instead, here's the glass of wine on the clean table where I sat and relaxed while the grillin' was grillin'. Digits below!
