Happy slappies are really good for getting a licky dog to back off.
Woke up with phone calls and internet-searching about dog-related emergencies. The dog of a friend of Guide Dog Aunt ate a bar of soap. There was much rejoicing when the emergency came to an end.
Dogs seem to be as self-destructive as toddlers, but with no end in sight.
Guide Dog Aunt seems like she'd really enjoy
note_to_dog. However, if she appeared on LJ, the universe would end or something. Priorities, priorities. The downstairs bathroom toilet is evidently much with the touchy.

Finished reading A Wind from the South, which is very much a book for Dagger's collection, given that it's about, um, spoiler. I felt it read a little slowly, but that could well just be the combination of .pdf on laptop (I prefer reading HTML), the kind of day it was, and how very ill I still am.

Instead of me braving BART,
pyrogenic will be picking me up, as he had to be driving this way anyway. I think this is probably for the best, as while ordinarily I would happily walk all the hell over, this while I'm sick is a recipe for disaster. I think probably the best plan for dinner negotiations is for me to call Az-the-Elder and then turn the phone over to 'Shua, so the locals can scheme without me having to croak too much. (Which reminds me, I should make a phone post at some point to establish exactly how dreadful I sound right now.)
