I ate a piece of candy corn because I remember liking them. I spit it into a napkin. Those things taste awful. So, is candy corn really bad now due to inferior ingredients, or did menopause change my taste buds?

My father, who is elderly but healthy, has requested that I be the executor of his estate, should his wife be gone or incapacitated when he eventually passes. I know this should make me sad, but I'm actually pleased that my Dad has confidence in my abilities to handle stuff.

Shoe-shopping for the dog. When the pavement gets hot, she will need shoes. And apparently, also, socks. And her front feet are a different size from her back feet. THIS IS A NEW WORLD OF SHOPPING.

Husband and I were out getting supplies for our trip.
Him: "We have enough time to grab lunch before getting the boy from school."
Me: "I forgot about the boy."
Him: "How could you possibly?"
Me: "He's not here, and I'm not at work. I have no idea who I am right now."

I still sit by my son's bed while he falls asleep. As I did this last night, in the dark, a marble fell independently down his marble maze, and the resulting sound was CHILLING. Kids toys playing by themselves is always creepy.

I followed the assignment. I didn't buy anything today. It wasn't hard. I didn't feel a compulsive need to consume. I guess this was a decent litmus test.

Ugh. Watching that "interview," was so, so painful. I can't say I didn't expect it, though.

As I am one fortnight away from our Service Dog journey, I'm watching all the dog training videos 4 Paws sent, to front-load the trainers (parents/caregivers). This is proper dog boot camp. I'm intimidated already. This dog is going to be way smarter than I am.

I bought a dog crate from the local pet store, and am currently researching poop-disposal systems. I am coming to terms with how gross this is going to be. I am also actively avoiding that one awful shopping website, because F that guy.
