Random birthday moments:
Lunch in Benicia with Bestie and some excellent thrifting.
Long misty morning sniffari with the doggo!
Bought a nifty cane with a flask inside! Weird but whatever.
Had good morning calls!
Joyfriend dynamic successfully shifted downward! (More about this later)
Had some advice about my dad's trust!
Kept my Duolingo streak going!
All in all, 55 is hitting softer.
And I'm ok with that. -
Someone on another platform asked her followers: What did you replace your ex with?
The responses make for some fascinating reading. I'm always interested in glow-up narratives, especially from women.
My answer: I replaced my X with ME.
That's my glow-up.

CW: Mellow shenanigans
Had a very cool experience with Joyfriend A last night. A night of snacks, music, low lights, headrubs and scritches, talking about the ethics of editing the human genome to alleviate human suffering (he's pro; I've got questions), some cuddling and then cooling off in the night air.

#BensonUpdate Benson Dubois is beginning to show a preference for being inside. He's more and more reluctant to come with me when I need to pop outside quickly for whatever reason. He just grumps, looks at the leash in my hand, and closes his eyes.Heh. My plan is working. He's getting so tired of being with Mommy he wants his space. Heh.

Joyfriend A: Do you want to own me?Me: I'm #SoPo. Ownership is...heavy. But fostering....I could do that. Yes. You will be like my foster kitten.
Joyfriend A: [wriggling happily]
Everyone wants to be on my leash. I've only got room for one. And he's a thicc boi schmoopie face.

A slow day full of naps, snacks, Murdoch Mysteries (because I'm 80), and playing with Benson who just wants to hang out outside and eat croissants like he's a French café denizen.
After our pre-dinner walk, I was apparently taking too long chatting with a neighbor because Benson, who'd been lounging at my feet, just got up and trudged upstairs without me.
He cracks me up.
I suppose I should text one of the Heaux who's been waiting for a date...I've just been enjoying all this me-time. My own company has felt delicious.

EVERY aspect of patriarchy is a goddamn trap.

Alicia the Dog Trainer is so reassuring.
Yeah, it could be that's her schtick. But I need her schtick. I need the confidence to be Benson's guardian.
Today we concentrated on building my leash skills and helping Benson understand what his role is when we are Working, i.e., on the leash.
Turns out the discipline I use when it's time to get Benson on/off the BART is the same discipline I should be using in most situations.
But, she reminded me, it's also a time for me and Benson to find ways to celebrate how far we've come. He's a happy, safe dog now and that's nothing to sneeze at.
So we celebrated with two ciders at Ben N Nick's for me and a basket of unsalted fries for Benson.

Had a GREAT meeting with the Administration (off the record), our Big Law reception was amazing, and now I'm drunk after dinner.
(I survived the networking. Thanks, tacos!!)
Never let it be said that feminists don't play hard in DC.

I haven't had a truly chill date like that in a while:
Meet up for a couple of stouts and snacks.
Have great conversation.
Cross the street to grab a slice and eat it standing up on the sidewalk while half of Oakland passes by.
Inhale the smell of weed.
He drives you home in his rickety Lawrence of Arabia Land Rover from 1971.
A good solid hug on the sidewalk.
Him: Crack me open like an oyster, please.
A good time was had by all.

To my #NewFollowers:
Hiiii!
So you found me and you're awesome. Welcome. Here's what to expect while you're here. (And no shame if you unfollow to explore other areas of the Fediverse.)
I am a bit of an oversharer. I post about work, politics, and being a middle-aged #LadyBachelor with a high uh, GUSTO for life, and some niche hobbies that are a bit more um non-traditional in scope. (Which I put behind a CW 'Shenanigans.')
Snark is my love language.
