Done this week (20140608 Su - 14 Sa)

[mdlbear]

Hmm. Lots of links this week. Not a whole lot else, except that Curio seems to have decided -- finally! -- that my lap is a good place to hang out. He sat in it for about two hours yesterday.

Yesterday Colleen and I went up to Sky Nursery and bought berry bushes and tomato plants, which I put in today. And today is Father's Day, which I will make a separate post about later.

  & woke around 5:30; some nice cuddle with Colleen

  & 7:40ish Curio came up and sat in my lap.  I had to carry him while I got my coffee;
    he's still here after I sat down again.  Sweet little cuddlebug!
    ... Still there after an hour.  I could use more coffee, and I've been eating
    chocolate covered almonds for breakfast because I can reach them.

    " It’s pretty much an open secret in politics, as Paul Krugman has observed, that the
      Republican Party’s hold on political power relies on an elaborate game of
      bait-and-switch. The GOP’s ground-level organization gets out the vote with whatever
      combination of racial panic, “God, guns and gays” social issues and Tea Party fiscal
      extremism is required, and then the elected officials go to Washington to do the
      bidding of corporate overlords who don’t particularly care about any of those
      things.

  * Went back to the REI Quantum shoulder bag.  Doesn't have the annoying flap.  Wish it
    could convert to a backpack, but it's better anyway.
  * Out with Colleen to Sky Nursery and Central Market.  
  * Spread potting mix in the last raised bed, and loosened the soil underneath with the
    new little spade we got at Sky.  We'll plant tomorrow after it's hopefully been rained
    on.  We also got a lovely Japanese trowel.
  * Ordered Chinese for dinner
  * (homework) massage from N.  When I pointed to a sore spot on my left shoulder she told
