Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why white cats should not be allowed outside. The pictures don't really do justice to how dirty he is. His fur just bounces back too much light.

In the interests of equal time, Clio! (I hope you can't see how dirty my kitchen floor is.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Why white cats should not be allowed outside.

It's bathtime for kitty!

Looks like kitty needs a bath, stat! And not the kind with the tongue, either....

Fortunately, they're self-cleaning.

ETA: Believe me, it's not worth the pain to bath him.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Fortunately, they're self-cleaning.

Mmmm. Tasty dirt. I'm so glad I'm not a cat.

Erin, sorry if I caused offense. I brought up that it was a charter school because not all their teachers are accredited, so it seemed relevant. And because part of their appeal is that they don't have the same bureaucracy, which is what seems to have backfired in this case. I wasn't slamming all charter schools.

Our wings are not tired.

The charter schools I have seen if Florida range from wonderful schools with superior teachers and facilities to scams to get funds that do a horrible disservice to the children and community. In particular, the charter school near my mother's house is fabulous and a much better choice than the local public school. We went to an open house for one opening near me and it was clear that it was an excuse for the church to rent out unused space. It ended up closing 3/4 of the way through the school year leaving the kids out of step with the rest of their class when they were shoved back into public school. Like all public or private schools, the charters have a range in quality.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I shouldn't have gone to krav. I shouldn't have.

Managed to jam one of my fingers and it's hurting like a bitch.
