I popped by #guitarcenter this afternoon to see if they had a steel tongue drum in the store. They had the pocket sized ones, and a 5 inch one? I wasn't sold on it though. She showed me a kalimba too which I didn't realize they're so tiny! Mostly I was just looking at stuff I don't need,

The big dogs had their trazadone this morning and I let them outside for a few minutes so I could sneak all my stuff to the back door. My ukulele lesson is at 1130, so at about 1045 I get to try to get out of the house without them freaking out. They've been reasonably chill so far... 🤷🏻

Took Purl to the vet today because he's been vomiting. Otherwise acting normal, eating well, no unusual behaviors. Apparently I have a diabetic cat. In hindsight, there were a few signs, but because we have 4 adult cats currently in the same part of the house, it didn't all click into

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.
