Ugh, that's the worst.
The exterminator just came, and told me to keep my cat out of the kitchen for an hour or two. Of course there's no door on the kitchen, so I threw the cat in the bathroom, but I feel bad!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw Val's new apartment! She's got so much room, and it's nicely eccentric the way a city place should be, in the good way. And now I know how to get there!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think it's amusing that we worry so much about confining an animal that can sleep 20 hours a day, even temporarily.
We used to have to put Oz in the bathroom during mealtimes because he kept jumping up on the dining room table.
He eventually learned to stop doing that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
One sign the people have Too Much Money:
They leave their 30g video iPod in a rental car.
And never call about it nor come back to get it.
WTF??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe they don't know that's where they left it?

True fact. Of course, the truth is, my bathroom door is so fucked up, he was back out in ten minutes. And since I moved his food out of the kitchen, there was really no reason for him to go in there anyway.

Maybe. But still. It's been over a month.

I installed a suite of kitty noises for my Adium IM program, and now I find I'm looking around every time somebody logs on or goes offline....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. So don't want to go to krav this morning. But too late to cancel.

I'm considering going bathing suit shopping at Bloomingdale's. That sentence seems so horrible I can barely contemplate it, but I think it's the most convenient option.
