Braaaaaaaaaaaaaains.

Ahem. Sorry, where was I? Right, home -- I was home.

My mother-in-law called her neighbors around midnight to ask if they could please have the loud parts of their party inside or on the front lawn, because their back yard ends about six inches from the windows of the guest room. So sleep: not so deep, not so plentiful. And then the drive across Wisconsin. With a somewhat carsick dog (though she didn't do anything smelly and messy, just was miserable the whole way).

But for all that it's been a good and rather social day. I got to see a handful of Wiscongoers in the midday, and it was that sort of "too bad I'm going to miss seeing X, but there are already so many good people here to see!" feeling, like a con in miniature. In very miniature, because we were coming home to make it to a cookout tonight, and that was good, too. But I ran out of Mris and had to come home to fall over, because falling over while still there would have spoiled a very nice cookout.

So many things I should be doing, but instead I just kind of stare blankly. Well. There will be a small snack, and there will be sleep in my own bed, and if any neighbors try to have a loud late party, I will eat their braaaaaaains.

Indeed a good time was had by all. I'm very glad that both Maggie and Ista were quite well behaved together, though I was disconcerted to realize that I left the house with the doggie equivalent of a *diaper bag.*

I don't normally carry a purse. I usually just fill my pockets with crap and run out the door... But leaving the house with a dog I usually have a bag with treats and water and baggies for poo and a rope toy to keep them quiet...

A ropey is a very good thing.

Baggies for poo are also good, so you don't have to use garden maps to scoop it. Baggies are much better. Really.

And Maggie is a lovey, lovey girl. And it was good to see you, too, and I'm glad that you didn't sniff everyone and play-bow and bark at oursin, because it would have been much less charming from you.
