jpegghostI went to Austin!
I had a nice rock climb with my sister-in-law on Saturday, then she came by and had a few drinks with us as I idly packed. The shiba loved her, which is great because she played with him in my absence. I like catching up with family stuff, even if a percentage of it is family drama (my other sister-in-law is anti vax, Qanon, etc).
Austin was a lot of fun, I went to Barton Springs and since I was alone (Alex was getting tattooed), I spent that time staring at the wildlife there. There's apparently crawfish, fish, and salamanders there, hiding under the rocks. I would get to a mossy area and stand still, looking for them, but I only found fish looking at me. Eventually Alex texted me and told me his tattoo artist wanted to meet me (!) for drinks and to hang out, and while he ended up being too busy that day to properly hang, I finally got to meet him since Covid regulations usually meant I would drop Alex off then go fuck around somewhere.
We came back just in time for the hurricane, Nicholas or w/e, to come through this week. I'm not really concerned tbh -- Granted, I said that on Valentine's Day, when we had our intense winter outages so maybe I'm cursed LOL. The worst I anticipate is flooding, and some of my customers missing their appointments (boo).
Otherwise I've decided to spend the remainder of my day unpacking and darning socks. I get mad about the holes in my socks, and when I whip stitch them back together they last for a bit before fraying. I'm gonna have to patch them now, because I PAID FOR THEM DAMMIT I'M HOLDING ONTO THEM.

Harvey completely devastated our area so I think the city is constantly bristling at the idea of a new hurricane coming by, and tend to overprepare. SO FAR SO GOOD.
