I think I told a story that wasn't entirely mine to tell yesterday. I may have to scrub it soon; I'm sorry.

Overall, a better day today. I did cry. Once when the Chappell Roan song "Casual" played on the radio. A few months ago, At and I had joked about how I'm probably like the mom in that song who has no chill and invites the person her kid is casually dating to her house after only two weeks. SLE and I got serious about each other pretty quickly. I can't believe or get over how I will never see her again.
*
Nu and I took Max and Huck to the vet for their yearly heartworm shots today. The books we collected for the waiting room made me chuckle--it was the latest Hunger Games book for me and the collected works of Audre Lorde for Nu and not vice versa as one might reasonably expect.
*
It was the 101st birth anniversary of James Baldwin this weekend, so I read some Baldwin and lit my devotional candle. And it was my Boss Day today, so I took myself for a long walk, bought myself some perennials that were on end-of-season sale for fall planting, and got Thai food for dinner.

Pic: Huck likes to climb on furniture because she's the shortest in the family. She wasn't happy to hear the vet say she may have been exposed to a tick bite (blood test results will clarify tomorrow). But she's happy to hear that big sib At will be hanging out with her and Max this weekend and they don't have to go to "boarding school" as she calls it.

Oh, I hear you about falling for the kids' romantic interests immediately, too. I just can't help it, and I never, ever learned from the heartbreaks.
James Baldwin was so ahead of his time. I can't ever say (or think) his name without a sigh of admiration and love.
I like that Hucky gets on the furniture to assert herself a bit. I know from experience that being short can become tedious even though you can still Act Quite Tall.
Happy Boss Day, my friend! It sounds like you had a lovely one.
Rex is on a medication for ticks/ fleas/ lice prevention and so far, so good. I mean, he's had lice twice so I thought it best to go on this med. It's a once a month treatment and it's a chewy treat, so he likes it. He's always outside in grassy areas/ wooded areas, so it helps alleviate the stress!
Cute.
Huck is so beyond cute, I can hardly bear it! Just adorable and sweet. I hope the blood work comes back OK -- and glad he won't have to go to dog camp. Greg once had a girlfriend we loved. It didn't work out, which was a pity. He needed that stability!
