* The heat is back, and as a result, today's massive errand run was ugly. Stuff got done, at least. There's a good looking older guy who's often in line near me. I managed to strike up a conversation, but alas not only straight, but very, very Christian. Sigh. I was wearing Greenwick's lovely knotwork trans symbol design tee today, and I got a compliment, so pointed them towards his zazzle store. I don't know how serious she was though. (It's this one: http://www.zazzle.com/celtic_knotwork_transgender_symbol_shirts-235035011006062317) In the course of errands, my crutch cap fell off, and of course it's the last one, so I had to go get a new one. They had new crutches on sale and really I want a new set anyway as I'm down to one rickety one and I've been falling a lot lately, so having two to use on bad days was a good idea, so I did it. I keep hemorrhaging money this month. I need things to stop breaking. Also, I'm still having random health stuff I can't pin down to a specific cause, on top of a stunning amount of pain for a day this warm. BTW, both suckermouths are still tooling around grazing for algae. I remembered to fast for tody's bloodwork. I am alread getting meds changes from the last batch of bloodwork.

* The fighting continues in the Syrian capital. A high level defector has said that the explosions blamed on the opposition were ordered by the government to discredit them. He also says that it's likely Assad will use chemical weapons on his own people if he is cornered.
