The aptly named "Dog Vomit" or "Scrambled Egg" Slime Mold

I made a point of getting up and back into my usual habits, including meditation, sun exposure, reading and setting a tone for my day. Tommy extended an invite to breakfast at L. G. Cafe, which, although disruptive to the routine, is also a relatively routine thing. I rolled with it. My teeth cleaning went well. I love that I can walk there and back. I attended part one of a two-part Compassion and Choice online conference, which was inspiring. I picked up coffee from Martin, and I think I am ready to start distributing beans now that I have worked out my roasting process. I also made a run to Palo Alto to pick up the dual outlet owner for the dishwasher. The latest Temu order arrived with the solar bug lights in place. It got up to 80° today, which is insane for April. Welcome to the new normal! I am expecting a very warm summer. Jen proposed a short stay in Paso at our usual spot, so we contacted Lisa and got a stellar deal for a 3-night stay. We closed the evening off with a nice walk together sans canines. I'm now offsetting the earlier heat by enjoying a crisp Sauvignon Blanc on the patio in a pleasant evening temperature with the firepit on returns a net positive. There's a lesson in there. You have to find it yourself.
