My mom has been asking me to take her to the Arnold Arboretum, and we finally went today, when it was warm and sunny and fabulous. We accidentally came across the famous lilacs, and I took a picture. I liked the concept of the picture (of the plan?) more than the picture itself, so I took it to Prisma, and now I like it much more.
Doug’s b’day gift to me arrived today, a little late, but no matter. It’s a 3 month subscription to a mail order chocolate club. I will get different chocolates from all over the world! I am amused that one of the bars from the first shipment came from a company that is 25 minutes away (Taza is in Somerville, for those of you unfamiliar with it).
TRIGGER WARNING: organic chemistry images
I decided to finally start tossing my college notes. It was an entertaining process, finding notes between me and a friend, my assorted notes to myself (“LEARN THIS!!!!!”) and just flipping through.
This right here is how I passed Organic Chemistry: copying over my notes and color coding them. It must have worked, because I seem to recall I did pretty well in that class.
My rep, Jake Auchincloss (who I just call “Congressman Jake” because I always butcher his last name), held a zoom town hall today. I like him. He seems to know what he’s talking about, and he knows what his constituents want.

It was time for a new pair of sneakers, and these were on sale. (If you are familiar with Rykas, you know $50 is a stupid good price.) They fit fine, as most Rykas do, and they have leopard spots. 😁
The blind woman I work with asked me if I would mind dropping this off at the library. Since I’m there at least once a week anyway, I said sure.
(Hers is the large on on the bottom, the top one is my copy of the same book for comparison. Just in case you couldn’t figure that out. 😉)
Gandalf stares at the pantry door, knowing that sooner or later, his food will appear from behind that mysterious door.
Took advantages of today’s warm sunny weather to pay some attention to Bunny, who was desperately in need of being vacuumed and generally cleaned up. Looks much better now.
The witch hazel bush in the yards is showing buds. It looks so completely different from what it will look like in the fall.
Daffodils always make me think of sunny days, even if the day isn’t so sunny.
