Sunday, Sunday and back to work I go. It's a short week, since the dog gets groomed on Thursday. Yoda is impossible to transport solo, so I took the day off. It'll be nice to have a short week.

For some reason, I'm really sore today. I must have slept wrong because my lower back is really tight. I have no idea why. I suppose I just slept wrong. I'll pop some ibuprofen, and hopefully that'll work.

Eurovision is over, and Italy is the winner! Not my favorite song, but I'm not mad about it either. Of the songs I liked, Iceland's "10 Years" was the closest to the top. (which is where our subject line came from, btw.) I really liked both Cyprus' entry, "El Diablo" and Sweden's "Voices," and Norway's "Fallen Angel" totally grew on me. None of them were anywhere near the top, so obviously, my musical tastes do not match up with the world stage. This is not a shock in the least. I'd like to blame Seanan McGuire for this new Eurovision interest. She recommended the movie "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga," and it was just so bonkers, I had to check out the contest for myself. Turns out, some of the staging really is pretty crazypants. Though no men in hamster wheels this time. For further enlightenment on what you can expect from Eurovision, I offer this video, which was one of the interval acts a few years ago:



Yesterday was Monster of the Week! The chaos gremlins were called into a 5K mudder race through the local marsh, where one of the volunteers drowned in 12 inches of water, while checking out the obstacles. They were led to the site of the murder by one of the nature center workers. Weird large tracks were found! They led deeper into the marsh, where they began to hear what sounded like a flute or recorder being played. They felt like they were being watched, but nothing appeared. A quick talk with the douchebag organizer, they headed towards the start line with one of the volunteers, and found that there were protesters, as the marsh is home to the near-endangered Lesser green toad.

Further into the marsh, looking for the flutist, their way was barred by a doggo made up entirely of muck and mire. The Spell Slinger communicated with the creature and found that he was indeed a good doggo. Bones were fetched for him. Eventually, his master called him off, and following him, they found it led to the road. Upon heading back to the parking lot, they found the organizer berating one of the volunteers as one of the obstacles was destroyed.

It appeared to have been pulled apart by one or more good doggos. Deciding to wait til nightfall to run the creepy course, they headed to the coroner. Hijinks ensued and they found that the volunteer had indeed fallen into the muck but then a doggo sat on her back so she couldn't get out of the mire. Armed with the knowledge that the doggos could be murderous, they headed back into the marsh, where another doggo told them to stay out of the way, and was set guard. Speaking with this dog, they managed to get that the nature center worker was it's master, and presumably the flutist. We left it there, and will pick up next week!

Okay, gotta get myself together for work. More coffee, and maybe clothing. Ew. Everyone have a good Sunday!

sorry about your back! I hope it's eased by now - it's always a (literal) pain when that happens

I'm quite interested in your Good Doggos mystery monster thingy; hope the flutist is discovered without harm to any next week!
