We’re in a little airbnb owned by her friend in Nashville. I have no idea where in Nashville, and we are nowhere near downtown, but in some little gentrified neighborhoodwith affordable housing when they were built, but now are all worth 500k and millennial gray with stainless steel appliances.

John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"
Merry Christmas Everyone
Drove to the mother-inlaws today, with Thurston on a trial run, and he mostly passed. I mean he got there and back. Everything in between, was, well, a shitshow.

Back From the Vet
Steve continues to lose weight and is diabetic, so he has now earned a round trip ticket to Arizona. He needs to be with me until his glucose is under control, and he needs to be with me in case it DOESN’T and something catastrophic happens. So that sucks. Thurston is also apparently going blind …
