I received a text message today, reminding me to update the vaccination certificate on my phone so it says I've had three vaccinations. I thought it did that automatically, but okay, I'll do that. You'll be shocked - SHOCKED! - to find it didn't go smoothly. I was not feeling up to dealing with that, so I'll try again tomorrow ( Read more... )

Lunar New Year, and it's now the Year of the Tiger. That's me! It's my year. Look out, world ( Read more... )

It was my long day at work. Month end: I have to wait until everyone finishes so I can close off the financials. Completed uneventfully and home in time for dinner. Unlike November ( Read more... )

It's Sunday, but let's do the Friday Five:

1. Do you write letters on a regular basis or just for special occasions?
I used to write a lot more. These days I have a couple of people I write to, slowly.

I didn't think I had anything to write today, but then I saw the dog breed for today's title. Amazing coincidence: tonight I watched the first episode of a new series about kelpies, in which five kelpie pups from the same litter are being trained up as cattle/sheep dogs ( Read more... )
