I was still sick yesterday, but I went to my favorite diner for breakfast. They have such good biscuits and gravy! Yum!

The server knows me, and it was fun to see her again. Her memory is really amazing. She remembered how long I said I’d be gone, and where I would be. That was more than a month ago!

The rest of the day was pretty laid back. I tried to rest. I’m writing this on Saturday evening, and hoping to have The Sweats tonight. That’s always a signal that the sick time is over.

I had some Nebraska sweet corn last night. Oh… My… Gosh… It was so good!

My mom had a gathering at her place, and we had some other food too, but the sweet corn was so sweet! Wow!

Other than that, I had an adventure with Beth in the morning to get a new sink for my mom’s bar area, and then I slept. I have slept a LOT since I’ve been here. It makes me feel like I’m sick or something, but I think what’s really happening is that I’m relaxing into my vacation time. Yay for rest!

All my major commitments are ending for the summer. I went out for a celebratory dinner last night. I had something called “Sizzling Seabass”. It’s fun to say! Try it!

It was also fun to eat. The seabass came out in a really hot pan, so it was, indeed, sizzling.

I have a couple of church-related things to take care of this Sunday, and then I will truly enter into my vacation time.

For Bruno’s food, I’ve been using Royal Canin, which was recommended to me by a vet or breeder or someone. But it upsets Bruno’s stomach.

I went to the little neighborhood pet food shop near me, and asked the guy if he had recommendations. Boy howdy, did he have recommendations! He talked for a long time about various brands and how they’re sourced, and that some of them are actually human-grade food, and you could eat it if you want. At one point, I almost said to him: “You’re giving me too much information.” Instead, I powered through.

I think he liked that I listened. He gave me a whole bunch of small sample bags of cat food. When I got home, I opened a few and let Bruno try them.

It was fun to watch how he responded to each new kind I opened, but he had a clear favorite:

It’s salmon flavored, and the brand name is “Fussie”. Ha! He hasn’t been a particularly fussy eater, but this brand is supposed to taste especially good, and he sure acts like it.

I went to Panera Bread to eat yesterday.

I hadn’t been there in ages! I tried to do the self-serve kiosk. It went mostly ok. At the end it asked if I wanted to tip, which seemed weird, because I did everything myself.

The broccoli cheddar soup looked different – less orange. It tasted like I remembered though. The salad was fine.

I used to go there all the time. I probably won’t be back again for a while. It was just ok. I wonder if the food changed, or if I did.
