Welcome to June’s Ultimate Coffee Date!
Ultimate Coffee Date: June 2025
A drink that tasted just like a Thai iced tea with a little coconut rum!
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…last month was pretty stressful. :( Muffs finally cleared her kidney infection but still wasn’t eating well and things weren’t looking very optimistic. I am cautiously hopeful again though because her appetite and energy both seem to have returned at full force again! I have an awesome friend who lives nearby and is a vet, so I credit most of this miracle recovery to her. ❤️
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I was originally supposed to be in Santa Fe last month for a wilderness Medicine conference, but was too worried to leave the muffers, so I canceled it. My work covers the transportation/lodging for conferences, so I usually try to drag friends along for the free vacation. Since I couldn’t do the trip anymore, they redirected their flights to come visit and hang out with me instead. I’m super super grateful for the people in my life. ❤️❤️❤️
We discovered a lot of nearby delicious brunch spots and also met a full-fledged Karen at one of them since she was at the table right next to us. Her behavior was unbelievably appalling + it felt like we were given front row seats to a show on the entitled.
We ended up tipping the server a bunch extra to hopefully brighten up his day. (Karma is nice though and she apparently locked her own keys in her car, so you reap what you sow. Twas a very satisfying “season finale.”)
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that… it’s definitely warmed up here, so my halau has been having more performances lately! We did May Day over at the fairgrounds earlier this month!
Also got to see Ali Wong for a “work in progress” show when she came by to San Jose last month!

Oh no, Muffin! That is very scary. I hope she’s going to be okay.
Lol on the Karen story- I like the ending of it! Nice of you tip the server extra- I’m sure it helped!
Thank you! Her kidneys aren’t doing well but she’s definitely perked up from how she was last month + I’m just treasuring whatever time I get to spend with her. <3
Me too! A very satisfying end indeed. :P
Look at those fun costumes! Hope your cat is ok!
Thank you! She’s thankfully still chugging along. <3

Sending good vibes to Muffin and hope she continues to eat well and gain energy now that she’s recovered from her kidney infection. How nice to have a vet friend to watch over her!
Thank you! I credit Muffin still being alive to her. ;_; She’s thankfully doing better than before and has gained about half a lb. Fingers crossed! (I need to get a working scale..)
I’m glad Muffin is getting better.
My daughter had a traumatic month with one of her rescued pet chickens, who finally seems to be out of the woods. Since you’re a doctor maybe you’ll appreciate that a transfusion from her other pet chickens seemed to really turn things around. (Who knew this was possible!) They think it had some kind of infection, but there’s limited meds they can use because even though these are pets, there’s laws (related to the food chain) against giving certain antibiotics to chickens.
Thank you!
I’m sorry to hear about the chickens but glad to hear it sounds like they’re doing better(?)!! It’s astounding how much they’re able to do with vet med these days — I never even thought about those laws limiting their ability to get antibiotics!

So sorry about Muffin but glad she’s doing better!
Nice of you and your friends to give an extra tip to the server. Love that karma caught up with that Karen!
Thank you! Me too! I can finally sleep a little more easy.
It was sweet, sweet justice! :P
Good news – your cat. Bad news missing that conference. But I hope your cat stays well.
Thank you! I hope so too–I’m happy/grateful for any extra time that I get for her. There will be other conferences!
I’m so happy to hear about your cat.
I would have laughed so freaking hard at the Karen locking her keys in the car. I have seen some appalling behavior here, but I try to bite my tongue, because people here are so aggressive. I would do like you and tip extra or offer some other kindness to try to make up for it.
Thank you!! <3
haha, I definitely laughed. It's so nice when karma intervenes! I usually try to stay quiet/mind my business, but her behavior was so beyond appalling, it couldn't be ignored. I'm really hoping our server had a better rest of his day after that!

That is great news about Muffin!
Thank you! <3
Thankfully I have never met a Karen in real life but I feel like some of the other people I’ve met have come pretty close! So glad your cat is feeling better. It’s such a helpless feeling when they are under the weather.
There’s unfortunately so many of them (so it seems) in recent years :(
