On a Diet

Austin & Fleas

Austin was doing a lot of cursing. Flea season has been relatively uneventful this year. Boom, even though all the animals have been flea-treated, come first of July, all the animals are going nuts. Austin couldn’t take it anymore and made a special trip to the vet.

Austin: Do you see these directions? They’re huge! What do they think I’m doing? Putting in a kitchen sink. This thing is talking about flatulence. And here, it wants me to get a Philips screwdriver.

 

 

Austin: I'm going to fix Cassie's chassis.

 

Ruffles

Austin, reading the bag: Sorry, bag. Social distancing.

Internet Outage

Our internet went out last night around 8:45 p.m. So we turned off our router, took a walk, went to bed. I hoped that the internet would be back when I woke. Alas, it was not. We decided to go to the Mount Vernon Farmers’ Market. We came home around 11:00. Still no internet. We went to Jitterbug Cafe, a new coffee shop in our area, enjoyed their Grand Opening celebration, the food, music, came home around 1:30. No internet. I decided to finish laundry. Lo, my iPad started dinging. Sure enough, I’m getting a billion notification from my friends. I go to Austin.

Me: The internet is back on.

Austin: You’re lying to me.

I pull up Facebook, show him all the new notifications.

Austin: It’s an illusion. You’re just trying to raise my hopes so you can dash them again.
