It’s raining.

Made it back to the hotel and showered my skin off.

*sigh*

Now I need to sleep. I think I can. Too much caffeine today.

I want an Irish wolfhound because of that movie.

Pens need to not just wait this game out.

This β€œdance” move the kids do with the juggling motion?

I can’t tell if they’re weighing boobs or balls. It just seems wrong to me.

Some hard work there by 2nd line!

Polish night?

And the best they could do is $1 hotdogs? That seems wrong.

Yes, Harper.

Why does that go to a faceoff? Why not just play it (Pens)?

It sure would be nice if they communicated with the crowd when there’s a delay.

That would be distressing.

Got down for the T just as my train pulled out so I'm waiting for the next. Sounds like it's early!

Parked, crossed the road, then turned and went back to my car because I realized I didn't have my keys. Luckily my car doesn't lock if my keys are inside. And then an attendant from the parking garage told me I had to move my car up "past this line". There was no freaking line. Paint the curb!

I really can't help it. If people's faces are close, I expect them to kiss. It makes some media difficult for me to look at.

A presenter put out coloring pages during a session. I promise I was paying attention.

If you sit in the middle of a bench that is made to sit three, I'm going to judge you.

Bicentennial Tower? A tall white tower with red stairs wrapping around it sits at the end of a quay. Next to it is an old sailing ship (Brig Niagra?). In Erie, PA.

Glad you were able to get some rest.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of whatever it is you’re dealing with.

You know what would fix the pouting?

Getting some friggin sleep.

At home, I wouldn’t have gone to bed yet. So, did I take a nap and now I’m awake?

I am not having a good night.

And when it does, I need to be covered, but the blankets are welded to the bottom of the bed, so I’m essentially sleeping sideways to get my feet free.

And even though there are a multitude of pillows, they’re all very soft.

And I don’t feel good because I ate weirdly.

And now I’m just pouting.

I accidentally hit the repeat button on my music and woke up feeling like I had slept way more than the music reflected, since it should have been finished. Then The Tennessee Waltz came on again and I was like, wait a minute…

For the record, I hate my hotel bed. I’m too hot until the a/c kicks on.

Turns out I am still a little worried about my turtle. 🐒

Dining room of Casa Vicens. A fireplace surrounded with floral tiles. Painted panels above and beside it are covered in birds and leaves.

Labeled as β€œFumoir of Arab inspiration”, a room with yellow and blue tiles on the lower walls, windows and a door covered in golden screens. The upper walls continue the blue and yellow in florals. The ceilings are blue with gold trimming in tiles that look like scales.

Reading up on Gaudi’s works.

How do you live in this house?

I think I've figured out what's wrong with my hotel room. It's too short. Not like Being John Malkovich short, but odd enough that my mind is hunching.

Also, I'm on the harbor side, not the bay side. Bah humbug.

Ah, Telemann violin solos, you aren’t blocking it out, but the sounds are purer.
