So I just tried to shovel my walk, but the locks to both doors of the laundry room (where the shovels are) have ice in them. My neighbor is out shovelling right now, so I am going to borrow his shovel when he is done.
Love makes you do the wacky.

I'm tempted to nickname Emily "Death of Mice"... or maybe that should be Bast's new name. At least she has fulfilled her feline purpose now, and can honestly meow "Today I am a CAT!"
No mice here. Only gronkliness.

Hi, all. TomW and I were able to get back to Salem in one piece, and more importantly, celebrated with beer and fried food immediately. Tom had to wait for an hour for a train going to Salem, which, considering he was 1 stop and 2 miles away, was vexing. Also we realized he needs new boots, a new winter jacket, and a cell phone.
I was stuck outside of Chelsea for an hour and a half while accident paperwork was filled out and 2 other trains that left after us passed us by. Also vexing.
We have to get the car this morning and I have to write a paper and then decide if we will drive or train into Somerville this evening...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
They were out in the boat one day, on the way to a favorite hunting spot, when a moccasin fell off an overhanging branch, into the boat. The brother grabbed the shotgun, stood and blew the snake to kingdom come in less time than it takes to tell about it.
...glub, glub, glub...
I haven't laughed this hard at something in a long time.

Okay shovel has been achieved (thanks to manly neighbor forcing the door) and shovelling has been done.
I've mentioned recently that I hate winter, right?

Also, my neighbor called me over to tell me that they had to put their cat Pilchard to sleep this week. He had a blockage that wasn't caught in time, and they couldn't afford the $1k operation he would need. He was just in my house last weekend and seemed so hearty and healthy. So sad.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I think if my cat ever encountered a mouse she'd run and hide under the bed. Heck, the few times she's encountered bugs she did the crouch-and-wiggle part of things but forgot the pounce-and-kill part.
