Ummm&#8230;.\u00a0 Had a bad tummy all weekend.\u00a0 There were several indicators of her condition waiting to greet me in the mornings when I woke up, after I&#8217;d watched TV for a few hours, when I got home in the afternoons&#8230;\u00a0 Ewwww.\u00a0 Eventually I just conceded she wasn&#8217;t going to make it inside and I just left the sliding glass door open all weekend.\u00a0 A few bugs in the house or a few piles on the rug;\u00a0 I&#8217;ll take the bugs.\u00a0 Hopefully she feels better by now back in her familiar environment.\u00a0 I have a few good household tips I gathered from the experience though:\u00a0 1)\u00a0 Don&#8217;t walk barefoot in the dark looking for dog poop, and 2) don&#8217;t run the Roomba until you are sure you&#8217;ve found all the messes.\u00a0 I did get out of the house a few times during the dog-sitting though.\u00a0 Martin came down Saturday and joined me at 75th Street, where we spent a good afternoon on the patio.\u00a0 Sunday I headed down to the Brooksider and watched the Royals game with the boys.\u00a0 Those two events gave me enough excitement to get me through the weekend I guess, because Monday I didn&#8217;t do anything at all.\u00a0 Watched movies all night and well into the afternoon, and waited for the weary travelers to return.\u00a0 Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t see any movies of note, unless you count that &#8220;<a title=\"The Human Centipede\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1467304\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Human Centipede<\/a>&#8221; is probably one of the top three disturbing movies I&#8217;ve ever seen.\u00a0 I suppose that&#8217;s &#8220;of note.&#8221;\u00a0 Geez I might never sleep again.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I went on a bike ride, the weekly Mission Farms route.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t suppose that bears re-telling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright I guess I gotta update this thing.\u00a0 I knew the streak had to end some time.\u00a0 I have myriad excuses for my lack of updates though;\u00a0 I was busy over the holiday weekend, then dis-interested on the holiday itself, and then yesterday morning I spent 3 hours in the dentist chair which threw me [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1086\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
