Biked out to my acupuncture appointment. I was going to head straight into Everett, but realized I had time to stop home and grab something.

So I get home and Roy is SUPPOSED to be resting. The van was gone. WTF? So I go into the house and call. No answer. Dogs are there. I’m hoping everything is okay. I grab a banana and finish up my eating and I’m standing in the foyer about to head back out when the door opens and there’s Roy, on crutches holding a TACO BELL and a PIZZA HUT bag! WHAT? I had to BRING him breakfast this morning and he’s driven (only a few blocks, but still) to get JUNK FOOD!? Bad Bad BAD! I don’t need children, I have ROY!

So after scolding him appropriately “But most of it is for the dogs!” Uh huh. The dogs don’t need it either… I took off. Made good time getting to Laura’s office, but noticed I had a flat when I parked. Darn! At least it was a front tire. I figured I’d change it after lunch.

We had a nice lunch and after she went back to work I started tire changing, set a timer, and went. Finished in 10 minutes EVEN! Woo hoo! A new tire changing record! And nary a swear word…at least not from me. There were some “Support our Troops” protesters (not entirely sure WHAT they were protesting) screaming profanity at the tops of their voices at two young people, who were screaming back. Really, I find the best way to get my point across as valid and worthy of consideration is to drop the f-word 87 times. I also find telling people to go and do unnatural things to themselves usually wins them over to considering my way of thinking. And if that fails, calling them prostitutes and female dogs usually seals the deal.

Ahhhh downtown Everett. I do love you so.
