Saturday. Sunny. The weatherbeans give it as their opinion that it will achieve “warm” today.
Found one of Rookie’s whiskers — I don’t find them nearly as often as I find the long white sort favored by the girls — so that was exciting. Also, he managed to bank two out of three possible new balls, so I ordered in nine more (3 additional cards) from Petsmart, which declares that they will deliver these essential items today. Guess somebody in Augusta thinks it’s a nice day for a ride.
Next up, putting the kettle on and rustling up some breakfast before I hit the books.
What’s on the books for Saturday at your place?

And, in celebration of a sunny Saturday, one of my favorite character interactions, in which we learn that Clonak isn’t … quite … a fool, after all. From I Dare:
“You fed me to them,” [Val Con] said, and his voice was, perhaps, not quite steady. “The scouts gave me to the Department.”
Clonak stared at him as if he’d taken leave of his wits. “Well, *of course* we gave you to them, Shadow! Who else did we have more likely to trump them than a first-in, pure-blood yos’Phelium scout commander? Concentrated random action. Would we waste such a weapon? Would you? I didn’t think so. Besides,” he finished, crossing his arms over his chest. “It’s the duty of the Captain to protect the passengers. Er Thom can’t have missed telling you that!”
“As close-kin, I ask that you not kill him,” Daav said into the silence that followed this. “I allow him to be twelve times an idiot. But he is also my oldest friend, and I value him.”
There’s a Gem Faire at the fairgrounds; always a struggle to shop what’s actually there for things that I’ve Been Wanting, and neither succumb to impulse purchasing the entire budget, nor deny myself everything because I didn’t find anything on my list but forgot to allow time to enjoy the show before it closed.
That is one of my favorite scenes!!! Daav’s comment at the end there just cracked me up in the best way. As for what is on tap for today: it appears continued recovery from rude and abrupt awakenings via phone-delivered weather warnings is up first. Followed by general errand running and the delivery of daughter to dance class. After which, home shall be achieved, jammies adorned, and nesting will commence.
