S'ok, it builds character. Are you nervous about school? Any tough classes you're dreading?

I'm not too nervous...and, yes, there's one class I'm dreading a bit - General Biology. I suck at sciences. But, we'll see how it goes. Worse comes to worse, I get a tutor.

Just study up on Intelligent Design and you'll be fine!

Bwah! Remember, I'm in Massachusetts, so ID may not be such an issue.

General Biology

Well, you see vw, when two people care for each other, sometimes they... oh, nevermind.

I'm sure you'll do great; you got smarts and stuff.

Oh, and forgive me if you've mentioned it, but I have a hella time keeping up with the Bitches and the Natters, but how's Mr. Toto doing?

I TOTALLY know how that goes. We're a chatty bunch!

how's Mr. Toto doing?

He's doing so much better. Thank you for asking. The vet thinks it was just some crazy virus. He's got a check-up in a few weeks, but I really feel like he's doing much better. Of course, through all of this he became a food snob and will only eat the prescription food from the vet. So, it looks like we'll be buying the 'spensive stuff for the time being. Silly boy!

Heh.

I thought biology was the easiest of the sciences, but YBMV. However, you have purple pens, so nothing can really be that bad.

I'm pretty close to slathering the baby in bacon fat and setting him out for the dingoes. He doesn't want to sleep. He doesn't want to eat. He doesn't want to play by himself. He doesn't want to play with me. He apparently only wants to be carried around the house.

Oh, that's wonderful news. Well, give him a pat for me and say "hi" from Eddie. I gotta make myself beautiful now, so I'll talk to you later.

Oh, silly Mal! Give your mommy a break!

Thanks Eddie! He says hi back. Actually, he just tilted his head and wagged his tail, which is a pretty good indication that he says hi back.

I'm giving up and putting in a DVD for Mal. I want him rested for our store trip this afternoon; last time he got really fussy in the store it wasn't pleasant.

There was some humor, though - the cashier was helping me bag my groceries to expedite the process, and said "Tora! Tora! Tora!" That translates literally as "Now! Now! Now!" and in context was something like "Yessir! Right away sir!" to the fussy baby. But of course an American hearing "Tora Tora Tora" thinks something else entirely.
