So the government shut down today, but (selfishly) no worries about me. My agency is self funded, so we have about 52 days of operating reserves. So I still go and defend the constitution. With Edda by my side, we will trudge through this swamp.
Jeremy has been taking long walks with Elka, especially in the am. For which I am grateful, I haven’t had time to take Elka to the dog park much. Since the “country club” dog park closed, the “public” dog park is actually much better in many ways, but it’s just a smidge harder to get to and more out of the way in my daily life. So…that’s that.
I have removed so many apps from my phone, that it is the most boring piece of equipment ever. My texting is basically not very social, just very logistical. I still reach for it, but I mess around with it for a bit and then…it’s so boring.
As I said, I’m interested in having a planted tank, which is a fish tank with a lot of plants and not a lot of fish, so it can sustain itself, but it looks like a lot of work and money and now this cat has inserted itself into the picture. I’m mixed on cat ownership, I like the cat, but he’s extra work. Everyone is slightly allergic, so I’m reading up on how to make the cat as unallergic as possible. First up is air filtration, we need to put new filters in our covid era HEPA filters which have been running for five years now.
