Going to our village pub for dinner (doesn't sound exciting, but people drive for miles for their food!) and they recently acquired a fifteen week old black Labrador puppy. Puppy is certainly not an ulterior motive.... nope....


You gotta get pics if it's an Ultimate Pupper.

Might start getting a bit tough at 15 weeks. Although I'm not an expert in dog meat.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Good meat has to age a bit.

Made me laugh for a minute at least, so that's winning for today:

I am finally out of the house my wife is in. Filed, almost have my own apartment, and soon should have the week/weekend child swap schedule up and running. Such a relief. Now I just need that mediation to start so I can get back my friend she drove away...

Great news Gust! Great to hear things are finally moving forward.

Blasted through my first exam session at ramming speed on new course. Good start!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I did find not just one.. not just two.. but FIVE bras that fit me today. That's like Christmas all over again. Should last the year, I doubt I'm going to get that lucky again any time soon.

The first time I saw an actual urinal was last year, after almost two decades of life. The first time I actually used a urinal was less than a month ago.
So here I am, a urinal newbe, trying to do my thing without too much awkwardness in a crowded toilet.( people actually standing in line for urinals) Suddenly, this really old professor with whom I've had a lot of conversations start using the urinal next to mine as I'm opening my fly. While trying to do my best to avoid anything resembling eye contact with the esteemed professor, I focus my eyes on the wall in front of me.

"THEY ARE WATCHING!"

Is written with a tiny script right before my eyes.
Needless to say, I crack up while trying to pee in a crowded public restroom right beside a peeing professor.
The only reason this is in the happy thread instead of the groove thread is the fact that the hilarity outweighed the shame.

Going to see The Revenant tonight. Cannot wait - since I stopped throwing up life has been revolving around home improvements, work and baby prep and it has got terribly BORING. Before I stopped throwing up life revolved around throwing up! Anything less than full on grown up psychological trauma from this movie will be a huge disappointment.

Turns out my minor panic in finding blood where Fiddler had been sitting is just a bout of feline cystitis, easily cleared with antibiotics. Phew!

However, the vet stuck a thermometer up his bum and he's still sitting in the corner giving us both evils. I'm so glad he has no access to Moranth munitions....
