Scary, brave, ridiculous, sublime(not necessarily in that order)

Things that have surprised me today:

• the powerful tug to my heart when I saw this photo of Robyn wearing a bunny hat we bought her on our trip

• Pride parades in Vietnam (their first) and in Uganda (where homosexuality is punishable by death, and people walked anyway)
• a huge mutant cricket/tadpole who was living under my potted plant
• the fact that when I wear floppy pants and a floppy top I look only 3 and a half feet tall (but sort of cuddly)
• that I've forgotten for the 4th day to nag Sarah about downloading photos and videos I wanted to post
• the chicken sandwich I made right after the cheese sandwich I made when I finished my yoghurt
• the wonderful thrill I felt when I looked out at the park site outside our house and saw that they were working on the landscaping
• the puzzlement I felt when I looked out at the park site and saw that they were doing the landscaping before the concreting
• that Dave has been reading since 7 this morning; actually that shouldn't surprise me; on vacation he read Room, Divergent, Insurgent, and the first two books in the Chaos Walking series
• my almost inability to finish a not-mini Magnum Double Caramel ice cream bar 
• the way I miss my friends who were my blogging friends before I started being such an unreliable blogger/reader
