  * buy: REI mini "midnight plum" shoulder bag.  Very comfortable; happily
    swallows my old shoulder bag, an eQuill tablet, and who knows what else.
    Enough pockets that I won't need any more on Chamois, and it fits in her
    outside flap pocket.
  ' Ch: You can call me Chami.  I could pass as a goat when my antlers were
        just spikes.  I'm not sure I'll be able to keep doing that, but since
        you accept me for what I am, I don't need to.
    me: You and Ame, both using a spelling change to mark a transition.  Yay!

  * Actually, the new bag doesn't really fit in Chami's outside pocket, but it
    hangs comfortably from  her handle, doesn't overbalance her, and looks
    gorgeous.  Ch:  ooh!  And it's purple!  I might not let you have it back!
    me:  As long as I can borrow it during the daytime!
  * date-night dinner at home:  tuna sashimi, Asian pear/onion/pecan salad,
    stuffed portobello mushrooms.  The mushrooms, which came stuffed from
    the store, weren't all that good.  The rest was excellent.
  : Colleen is walking with a cane!  Her PT says she's good with it as
    long as she isn't too tired.  No more PT for a now.  YAY!

  : The new bag holds a letter-sized clipboard, though just barely.
  * pay bills - nothing due this week
  * Thankful Thursday
  * transfer (most stuff) to new bag.
  % muscle cramps around the right shoulder
  * 10ish bath.  11ish bed

Hmm. Mostly OK, I guess, though I ended the day (and am starting this one) with pretty bad muscle pain around the back of my right shoulder. What's with that? Hope it's not the new shoulder bag.

The big news is that Colleen used a cane to get from her chair to her scooter, instead of the walker, and practiced with it during her PT appointment. Which looks like her last for now. The PT said she can use the cane as long as she isn't too tired.

I went to REI at lunchtime and bought a "mini" shoulder bag, in "midnight plum". Her name appears to be Minnie. She's very comfortable, and capable of holding a full-sized clipboard (though I suspect not as comfortably). It's hard to see in the picture, but there's a Y-shaped section of the strap where it joins the top of the bag; the hole fits nicely over the handle of my rolling backpack, and Minnie snuggles over Chami's front, her strap goes around the back, and they fit together perfectly.

Picture here. Don't they just look made for each other?

Chamois told me that she wants me to spell her name "Chami". Yes, I have Lesbian luggage, and some of it talks to me. Cue obligatory Diskworld reference, and deal. ;)

Our date nights have been getting fairly expensive, so we're staying home more. I asked for fish, since I knew Colleen was going out shopping this afternoon, and she came home with a pound of ahi tuna, a couple asian pears, pecans, pear vinegar and pecan oil, and two stuffed portobello mushrooms. The 'shrooms weren't very good -- we'll make our own from now on, thanks -- but the pear salad and the sashimi were excellent.

A few links up in the notes.

This is quite possibly the funniest single sentence I have read this year. I think you've just earned your Master's certification in anthropomorphizing, brother. Thank you for the image!

This comment really made my day, too. Thanks!
