Things That Happened Today

By Pete

Hi, friends.

It’s 2:00am and because I don’t have a job and, therefore, have very little incentive to go to bed or get up at a reasonable hour, I am not tired. Instead of laying in bed and staring at the ceiling, I think I’ll tell you what I did today, as boringly as possible.

First and foremost, Scout got a bath. The rumor is that he didn’t smell bad, but I did not believe it. The moose is peculiar about baths. He loves the idea of a bath. Gets excited about the water running, me getting the shampoo and towels, and pretty much everything else right up until I start pouring water on him. This also confuses me because there is nary a puddle or pond that I can actually keep him out of without using a taser. He doesn’t do much about the bath, though, besides sit there and look pathetic. He’ll try to slowly inch his way out of the tub, too, but that’s not particularly successful. Really I just need to get a shower attachment so I can stop using cups of water. Washing a 75 pound dog using a cup of water is not exactly “efficient.”

I also bought him a new bag of food. It weighs something like 5,000 lbs. and it should last him every bit of 45 minutes.

Several weeks ago I found a group that meets once a week to play Euchre, so I did that. On my very first hand of the night I dealt myself a lay-down alone hand¹ and my luck didn’t stray too far from that all night. What is it that they say? Lucky in cards, unlucky in life? Yeah, well, screw that. I’m going to be lucky in both.

I managed to break my right mouse button. How? I don’t know. Over-use, probably. We’re all going to pretend like this has nothing to do with video games. Right? Good.

As if that wasn’t enough to do in one day, I also washed a load of laundry and put it in the dryer. Maybe tomorrow I’ll fold it.

I’m not sure how I do it.
