There was an article in the Phildelphia Inquirer about a 61 year old woman who sued a guy who had groomed her in the late 1970s and had sex with her when she was 15-17 and he was like 25 or so.

the article ended with this quote from her:

"What would my life have been like if he chose somebody else?”

That's pretty shitty!!

Let me innnnnnn

a float/freeze/sauna place opened up nearby a couple years ago and I haven't been there. I haven't done that sort of thing in a few years, maybe like 3 or 4. Anyway they have a package deal for all 3 things (60 minute float, 40 minute sauna, cold plunge) for $149 which is pretty good I think, so I think I might try it. But I gotta figure out a good day for it.

I should probably get in a good week or so of meditation first to get a better float experience. It can be hard to fall into relaxation quickly enough.

I had agreed to help out until the middle of August with a former client for midday dog walks.

I don't recall what I ever mentioned, but for anyone new or who even gives a crap, this client had a little dog with multiple medical issues, and surgeries, ending with her eyes being removed. Sweetest dog. So a few weeks after she had that surgery, the owner got an 8 month old puppy which I thought was so sad for the blind one because she was still adjusting, though she'd been blind for a while and could find her way around well. But the puppy was very rambunctious and it was hard to give the blind dog attention. But this was when I'd already told my boss I was essentially quitting, so I was glad I was done with them because it was a lot, 2x a day, 4x a week. That was at the end of last year I think.

So, as I said, I'd agreed to help out for a couple weeks but no more, because midday dog walks in the middle of the summer are not my jam, and having to walk the pup separately plus other reasons, just no. Plus it's 2 visits per day.

I was scheduled for a visit today at noon and then 2 tomorrow evening. My boss told me as I was going to the house today that the dog was having potty and destruction issues, instead of having settled down, he was a problem. He was still rambunctious, but he's very sweet. You could tell the house was barely livable with cushions removed from all the furniture and the dogs penned in the living room/porch area.

My boss just told me that the owner surrendered the dog back to the shelter this afternoon. I guess she had it planned but I was...rather surprised, considering I'd just started up again. But as sad as it is, she never should have gotten the dog, and apparently it's just been nonstop issues. SO

all of this to say.

I am so relieved it's just the one dog now, and she never liked going on walks anyway. One thing I have learned is that many times I agree to do something I don't want to but I don't complain about it (to myself or anyone) and then I get out of it, almost like a reward.

SHREWSBURY, Pa. (AP) — A truckload of hot dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate Friday after a crash that briefly clogged the heavily traveled artery in both directions.

Crews were stuck with a job they did not relish — rolling up the scattered tube steaks for disposal.

So fantastic that the Dingus in Chief fired the Labor Statistics chief, projecting about how she cooked the books to make him look bad, since he's gonna hire someone to cook the books to make him look good. Love this nightmare timeline.
