Mercury in Retrograde

[Drunk Monk]

I've been working on getting my car phone holster to work. I got this new one that was magnetic and charged my phone, but my phone case is military grade aluminum with makes it heavy and non-magnetic. The supplied sticky magnetic plate isn't strong enough to hold it and it gets really hot when it charges that way so the phone shuts down. Being obstinate to make this work, I modified my old phone clip and attached it to the plate, adding duct tape, but that wouldn't hold either. I figure I could wire it in place and dropped it in my bag of TJ groceries when coming home yesterday to work on it today. That too has magically disappeared. 

Found it! It had fallen in the passenger side crevasse. Gonna make this stupid holster work. Gotta get me some wire.

Still no sign of the cinnamon.

Stacy had a dentist appt yesterday in SF (she's stayed with this dentist for years) and took Bottles for a walk in GGP. At the very end, Bottles fell into a swamp near Stow Lake, got covered in mud and algae, and then got out and rolled in pine needles. Stacy tried to wash him in the public bathroom there but that only got some off. Then she tried again at the rabbit hutch bathtub, where Bottles leapt out and shook lavender dog shampoo foam all over as she tried to catch him, then she emptied the kitchen sink to finish washing him there. Both rabbits were away so the situation was contained without their knowledge. Stacy confessed to giving him a bath because he got muddy, but didn't go into details on the magnitude of the event.
