I got a B&N gift card for mother's day. After careful deliberation, I replaced Ramones Road to Ruin, and picked out Led Zeppelin IV.
It was up against some stiff competition from Led Zeppelin ii, Guns n Roses Apetite For Destruction, and Dokken's Heaven Comes Down.
good choices

my dog howled for the first time ever yesterday. until now she just barks and whines. but this was a full howl at the moon sound.

today we were planning to do Mother's Day dinner. it was cut shot because of an emergency that came up at work. so we pretty much ended up dropping off food and leaving. it turned out that i didn't even need to be involved in the work issue. which is good. but i'm mad that i didn't know that before we left my parent's. i'm going back over tomorrow and i'll hang out for a while. i felt really bad but i also couldn't relax if i thought i was going to get in trouble for not taking care of the work issue. i've posted some here about my mom having some health issues. i can't remember if i talked about it since we got a diagnosis. but she has a form of Parkinson's. it doesn't really cause shaking but it affects her balance and speech. so it's like the words are there but she can't get them out which is very frustrating for her. i'm going to try again tonight to see the auroras. apparently they might still be visible. especially further north. so if you missed them try again late tonight

i missed seeing the Northern Lights last night. i didn't think it would make it so far south. i looked out around 10pm or so and didn't see anything. but apparently you can use your phone camera to see it. i didn't know i'll try again tonight. also the neighbor diagonal to us keeps trying to run birds off from his backyard by putting up all this reflective junk. i guess their precious pool is more important than allowing birds to be around. now he seems to be lining the fence with tin foil if you don't like birds don't move to the burbs. they were here first! the trees i'm planting along the fence can't grow fast enough.

yeah the spirit behind giving out gifts is sweet. but personally i would be a little weirded out by a stranger giving me a gift randomly. i've never been to a Disney theme park i'm not sure of the vibes there. with the political climate and all people might be more on edge. i can see it as a nice memento if i struck up a friendship with someone while visiting though.
my complaint is that i've been feeling sick for days. i think it's allergies since i don't even have a low grade fever. also i've been having nightmares about losing my dogs. i have them occasionally but it's been several nights in a row. maybe just stress dreams.

Very small gripe but hopefully someone else understands; you know the pumps that come with beauty products or shower/hand gels? Normally, you twist to 'unlock' them and start using them. But sometimes the pump nozzle twirls WITH the stem that goes into the liquid, so you're spinning it without it unlocking So you need to open the tub, HOLD the stem and force the twist that actually allows the pump to be freed. Now imagine trying to do that in the shower!! My conditioner was like 'if you want to actually condition your hair, solve my puzzle!'
And then there are the ones which think their job is to splatter the tiles rather than deposit stuff into your hand for helpful use...
OMG yes. i had to throw out soap once because the stupid thing wouldn't open when twisted. and i couldn't just open it and decant either. Taffeta, thank you for the explanation. it sounds like your local government isn't trying to win new supporters

Unfortunately this shows me that a change of government may not be the solution to all our problems. Our local council is not Tory.
we have similar issues here too. unfortunately i'm curious about the political parties in Britain. I know there is a parliament instead of the 3 branches we have in the US. But i only ever hear about 2 political parties, the Tories and Labour. are there other smaller parties that don't make in into the US coverage? I wish we had more viable parties here. but i'm not sure more parties is leading to voters having more input in places with more than 2 parties. anyway my complaint today is my back and head hurt. i really crash towards the end of the day. i woke up at 4am so i guess it makes sense given i've been up for 14+ hours already. but still it's annoying. i still have stuff to do.

i love your sketches BC the sheep are so cute. i also liked the sheep figurines you posted a while back. the people with the money to buy politicians want to criminalize being poor. so cities install spikes do keep unhoused people from being able to rest. removing benches to punish unhoused people also punishes everyone else who uses those spaces. but what do they care. more important for billionaires to not have to see the "poors" in San Francisco. the incentives aren't in place to make the world better for those of us who can't afford to buy politicians. as long as people with the most money make the rules we'll never get mass transit or real protections for disabled people. or any of us really. if it doesn't build "shareholder value" it won't happen under the current status quo. it can be done. we just need the will as a society to make it happen. i do believe a better world is possible. it's why i complain so much i think tech can be made to help people. but not under the current tech leadership. most of that is scams lately. maybe tech designed for and by disabled people would be a better solution? @shockponie i hope your husband can get some help

BC and Taffeta I don't feel well today. i'm considering taking a sick day but i always feel guilty for taking sick days since I work from home.

aww, what a sweet kitty mockingbirds get so protective while they're nesting, BC. it's cool that they knew you weren't a threat. the birds are out here too I saw a couple of robins and bluebirds. i've been hearing mourning doves and mockingbirds singing too.
