Sipdown no. 27 of 2021 (no. 647 total).
Big news: we got a puppy!
I haven’t been drinking as much tea as usual because two weekends ago, we did a whirlwind road trip down to Southern California to pick up Reggie, our baby Basenji. Down on Saturday (one cup of tea in the morning) and back on Sunday (no cups of tea). Baby is very fun, and very smart — he’s already learned “sit” and is learning “down” — and potty training is going pretty well. After he goes potty outside, he comes over like “bruh, where’s my treat?” which is exactly the point.
Last weekend I had an early haircut appointment on Saturday — following strict covid protocols — so also didn’t get any real tea drinking in because I wasn’t back until the afternoon.
I did drink a bit of tea on Sunday, which enabled me to get into sipdown range with this for today.
I have to say, I’m conflicted about this. I mostly stand by my original note, it’s just that my current thinking would put something described in my original note as lower than an 84. So I’m bumping it down.
As I mentioned, it suggests cookie, but it’s not very sweet, which makes it not quite as cookie-ish as I’d expect. Yes, some cookies are sweeter than others, but most of them are pretty sweet or they wouldn’t be cookies. AmIright?
What kind of cookie? Slightly almondy, slightly shortbready, I guess. Not bad for the right mood. I guess I’ve just become more of a hardass on my grading scale.

Puuuuuuupppppppppppy! Pics or it didn’t happen!
Just for you, a post to my long neglected instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpuK1kj3BU/?igshid=9z18ta2hqc8a
Aww Congrats!!
Thank you!
Sounds like regular life, sometimes it gets in the way of having tea. Also reminds me I haven’t had a haircut since 2019. I should probably figure out how to get that done or just let my boyfriend do it for the first time.. how did it go getting it done (obviously we live in different places)?
I have gone through a number of different scenarios. During lockdown my stylist put the color into squeeze bottles and my bf picked it up from her and then applied it for me. That would have been funny if we hadn’t been screaming at each other through the whole thing. So no cut that time, just color. Then we graduated to he coming to the house, cutting and coloring me and cutting my two boys’ hair. We were all masked and she had on a face shield as well. That happened a few times. Now the salon is open again, with only two customers and two stylists at a time at opposite sides of the room; everyone masked, everyone hand sanitized, no clothing changes, and if you get there early you have to wait outside. Also you have to answer a bunch of health questions. In between the home and reopening there was one small reopening before the tier went back up to purple — same deal then plus temp check.
Thank you for the puppy pic! My phone is almost exclusively photos and videos of dogs…mine, my kids’ dogs, the neighbor’s dog….I can always use a good “squeeeeee!” from a puppy pic!
Her not he.
