Meet Roy Jr.

 

Today was my last quiet day of working from home wearing pajama bottoms and no bra, because tomorrow I have not one but two appointments (dentist and physical therapy, right next to each other, but did I make them back to back? No), and then of course adoration, so I will have to wear real clothes. Then Wednesday I am back on campus for the first time in weeks, but it's a cleaning day so I can wear jeans and a hoodie, so at least I can put off wearing work clothes for a little bit longer. 

It was a good thing I was home today, because there was a delivery for Travalon, and someone had to sign for it. Meet Roy Jr.


Travalon came home with Zippy Lube fried chicken sandwiches for dinner, and then we went swimming. The health club was not crowded, just like last week, so the trick must be to go later in the evening. As we were leaving, I saw this abandoned narwhal picture.


When I was a kid nobody else knew about narwhals ("a whale with a horn? you're making this up!") or red pandas ("you mean it's red and white instead of black and white?") or axolotls ("an ax-o-what-ll?") or capybaras ("a guinea pig the size of a cocker spaniel? what??"), but now you can find these creatures in every toy store and coloring book. I'd call that an improvement.

As promised, here is the video of a night train that Travalon shot for me:


And here is the video of boats on the Milwaukee River:


If you are feeling too wintered out, just watch this video of boats, and you can almost feel the sunshine.
