With my head in the dirt, see how long I can hold my breath

[sovay]

Yesterday's appointment for which I went through MBTA hell turned out not to have been made by the doctor who had offered it to me on Thursday, although I didn't find that out until I had gotten there; that was terrible. spatch met me afterward at the Boston Public Market where I was practicing self-care with a bagel; we walked to the Museum of Science where we saw the mantis shrimp and the axolotls and all the dioramas and models of Nature's Superheroes: Life at the Limits and then spent another couple of hours just browsing the familiar and new parts of the museum (the permanent, interactive exhibit on engineering and the Charles River is a good one and I would say that even if it didn't have a tank of river fish and turtles) before walking to Lechmere and catching an 87 to Porter Square, where we had dinner at Christopher's. I came home, worked and watched movies, served as a platform for Autolycus. We have made a mental note to go back for the West End Museum.

Today has been chiefly defined by a cat throwing up and a really appalling development with the kitchen trash, so I have been cleaning forever. I look forward to May being less gross.

That is an unfortunate end to April, but at least you got to look at turtles.

Oh man, sympathies. *support support*

Sorry about the grossness and the scheduling snafu.

"...turned out not to have been made by the doctor who had offered it to me..."

That is to say, they didn't manage to put it in the doctor's schedule, or was there another doctor going on?

Either way, yarg.

(Turtles! Yay.)

Oh, dear, well, here's hoping that May will indeed be a bit better than that!

[asakiyume]

Ughh, awful. But Mantis shrimp and axolotls are good.

At least there was bagel and spouse time. I'm actually not so sure at this point in our evolution if I want to be studied by tamarins. They have prehensile thumb-substitutes and they just sit at you.
