Original plans for the day fell through to due to an excess of people at City Museum and the Arch being sold out for today and tomorrow when we went to get tickets.

Ended up at the Science Museum. Even though it's geared towards kids we still had fun. Too much walking though.

Taped all the things (knees, shoulders, right thumb/wrist) in anticipation of City Museum. Kept tape on for slightly too long. Meh. We're gonna try again either tomorrow or Tuesday. Depends on eclipse traffic.

Have had two really nice snuggles with sister's cat Todd. He's currently overweight because he keeps stealing dog food. Her younger dog needs food out at all times to stay at a healthy weight. (Promise they've tried everything. This is what the vet suggested and the older dog doesn't want younger dog's food.) This is a cat who's about 18 pounds when he's in a good weight spot. I'd currently peg him closer to 25. (We suspect there's Maine Coon in his recent ancestry.) Todd's currently sitting on my feet purring. I have a feeling cuddle number 3 is immanent. He got a bath earlier tonight and has been fixing his fur while glaring at people for the last coupled hours.

Edit: I have been told Todd is 24 pounds not 25.

1. (x-posted from tumblr) Tomorrow I'm getting on a plane to go visit smallest sister and coastie b-i-l until next Thursday. We'll be doing eclipse stuff and celebrating my mom's birthday. I'll have my tablet with me. DW is certainly getting checked. Email is a maybe. Tumblr is right out. I don't do mobile tumbling. Stuffed the queue. Drop a comment on DW if you need me.

2. Someone is going through and reporting pins of celtic (gaul etc) coins and maps and similar on pinterest. Like??? Multiple sources so I'm pretty sure it's an individual. I don't get the point? Like how were pictures of pre-rome and roman-era coinage offending you? Why are you reporting maps of what tribes were where? What is the point?

3. I burned my hand not too terribly though I've got a slick spot on my right middle finger that hurts when I poke it. Icing my hand until I wanted to scream seems to have done some good.
