Well, Mocha's law does state that: "Any sufficiently strong coffee is indistinguishable from magic".
Here is your cup of coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

What is even happening?

Sean may not be going to hell, but without caffeine, how could he tell?

We've secretly switched Jess' coffee with pixie dust.
No, no, we need to boycott pixie dust. Everybody knows that it is made by catching, plucking the wings off of, freeze-drying, and grinding up pixies. All this intensive labor is performed by exploiting non-unionized elf labor. Not to mention the environmental consequence of dumping all of those toxic pixie wings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If only we had listened when the talking psychic parrots tried to warn us....

Or we should have called the psychic parrot hotline.

I am losing my mind.
So this morning I freaked because when I pinched Mister Kitty's skin, it didn't snap back and was worse non-snappy than it was the day before. I've seen him drink only twice since saturday, he's still barely eating (I now have so many different varieties of stinky food that he won't eat it isn't funny) so I took him back in. Classic dehydration symptoms.
His bloodwork is perfectly normal. Vet will call later to talk to me. Tech didn't know right off (she didn't have his chart) whether they fluided him or not.
I'm just...torn between thinking I COMPLETELY FUCKING OVERREACTED and great, mystery illness, wasting away, etc.
I should never ever ever have children.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, poor Sara, and poor Mr. Kitty. I hope you can take him home tonight.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If it helps any, I spent half the day yesterday convinced that while I was at work the dog would have somehow knocked over the new bookshelf and crushed herself beneath and I would come home to find her dead or dying on the floor, whimpering pitifully.
Me coming in the door: "Why, you're not crushed even a little bit!"
[Not meant to be flippant, I really hope they can sort Mr. Kitty out right quick.]

Because books.
I think you were completely right to bring him in. Those kind of symptoms aren't something to ignore. Poor Mr. Kitty. Still vibing for you both.
