chase_acow: philadelphia philies baseball player Marsh with wet hair (phils brother marsh)
For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I have been dog free for about two months.

I'm going to an 11am football game in two weeks, and since I spent the entire summer sleeping through the days in the a/c and working through the nights in a/c I am trying to readjust my internal settings so I don't immediately turn into a puddle of goo in the hot temps. Thus, I have been walking in the late mornings to get a little sun in short bursts on my lily white legs without burning and remind myself that it's okay to sweat in 80/90 degrees.

Folks, there have been bucket loads of sweat. It is so gross. Can't wait to be packed in like sardines with thousands of other sweaty, rowdy monsters!

I thought it would be weird to take a walk without a dog, but it is so nice! I'm not constantly watching their butt trying to make sure they don't eat anything bad or poop anywhere they shouldn't. I get to look at the trees and walk as fast as I want to without waiting for them to sniff things.

Next year I might think about getting another dog - definitely not a puppy - but for now I'm actually already making holiday plans because I don't have to worry about bad weather or keeping a dog outside when it's too cold. Not that it's too cold in December anymore, but I guess there's always a chance.

I really enjoyed reading through this list of The 15 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2024. I mean, I'm not going to visit, but I think it's really important for these places to keep innovating so they don't dry up and blow away. My hometown is a speck and I can't imagine going back but I could live in some of these places.

More really nice pictures here, though I'd imagine it's too late for anyone to make new plans: The Best Fireworks Displays in Every State

It's been years since I've gotten to see fireworks live, either on the Fourth or at sport events. They're fun, but I don't know, not something I need? I do sometimes miss the excitement of lighting the fuse on a Black Cat and seeing how long I can hold it before I flinch and toss it. But also, it probably won't be as fun as when I was a kid and I have no desire to traumatize the cats.

I baked bacon wrapped chicken legs and a twice baked potato casserole. The cantaloupe I cut open is delicious and tomorrow I'm going to add a spinach heavy salad with carrots and broccoli. Dinner for the next two days is very exciting.

I've fallen down the rabbit hole of karens vs cops on youtube and I've finally figured out why and how it should be obvious after binging Hoarders. )
chase_acow: sam wilson yelling at spiderman in the comics (cap sam and spidey)
i'm so bored. I hate the hot weather. I did overdo it at the lake yesterday, and had a hard time sleeping last night as my wing muscles ached.

I'm a little bit more upset over Sony breaking up with the MCU than I thought I'd be. I mean, the group movies were a great heaping mess, but I did really want Cap!Sam to show up in the next Spider-Man. I still think they'd have a neat dynamic. Now I wonder what'll happen with Spidey, and if they'll ruin him again. Venom - had a certain something, but I wouldn't call it a good movie.

I finished my SPN rewatch, but I'm still thinking about what I think about it. Now I'm into season four of Game of Thrones. I got this far when if first aired, during season five it'll be new but I'm still pretty goodly spoiled. I still love Sansa and Sam - the hero of the North. Watching it all again gives me the chance to really check out this whole Dany thing. I'm interested how I'll see the series finale.

I've got another bunch of words to write on my Sam Wilson Birthday Bang fic. It accidentally got a little heavy and now I'm plodding. I still hope I can finish it this week.

One of the assholes at work got fired was allowed to resign for significant title ix/harassment issues, and now people are picking sides making me want to punch so many throats. cops are the worst
chase_acow: Xena and Gabrielle hugging (xena hugging)
As part of my plan to escape this year’s holiday slog in December, I drove out to Arkansas for my mom’s birthday last month. She is not really an outgoing person, she’s got some other stuff going on, and she stays up late and sleeps a whole lot. I wasn’t that interested in waking up early to let the dog out and then sitting in the kitchen by myself. So I asked her if she wanted to go on a float trip, and three days later she replied to my text with a ‘sure’.

That wasn’t enthusiastic enough consent for me, so I shrugged and packed an extra book.

On day two of my my exile into the hot land where the air conditioner never turns on, there are no comfortable seats, and no real food, mom wanders in about noon, and says - “So, when are we going on the float trip?”

facepalm

But, okay. So I find a place. Easy trip, kids and dogs welcome, 4-6 hours for an 8 mile stretch. The start point was about 40 mins away. I thought, yeah this one. Granted, I don’t think I’ve been outside for a combined 4-6 hours since I started night shift in Feb. But I went and bought two new bottles of sunscreen.

So, the good news is, I didn’t get sunburnt.

The bad news is, I’m the proud owner of a roughly used, broken rental canoe.

We had 7/8ths of a real good time. )

Thumbs up!

+ I'm going to the lake today! I plan to get sunburned, and eat too many hotdogs. : )
- I'm so far behind on Big Bangs! : (
+ I had an awesome SGA dream where I was the new Daniel Jackson, and Sheppard was totally checking out my ass. Also, I blame all you Kavan fans from my last post for Lorne being there and getting all the good lines. He said "keister" and it was adorable. Of course, we were stuck in some kind of loop and Zelenka had just blown us up, but I'm convinced that if I'd kept dreaming, we would have figured it out. Also, my subconscious still thinks Elizabeth is in charge of the city.
- I'm soooooooooooo hungry.
+ I sent off a resume yesterday. They're probably going to laugh at it, but at least I did it, right?
