Well, Lucy's gone and upped the ante on the extreme bathing. And in Totally Unrelated News, they're painting my lobby this morning.

AmyLiz, you are correct. My cycles tend to be long, about 32 days or so. But then it was 38, then 48. I'm considering a doctor visit.

It's a win in some ways, but the two weeks of "murder the world in a tearful rage" is not my favorite.

Ah, it speaks to the genteelity of Bitches that mentruation talk is spoiler-fonted! (not criticizing, just noticing)

I love Fay's stories. I think she should write children's books.

YES! I'm also curious to see how she would manage the slash.

Totally Unrelated News, they're painting my lobby this morning.

Clearly completely unrelated. You're going to need a bigger washing machine.

We've been having a pun war about the consulate event. We think the stuff was left on the stool in front of window Number Two. And we're going to find the culprit by process of elimination.

GC, it seems like your GF could sue for whiplash from such a severe transit from high to low in one day. Better job~ma to her.

I think my life would have been vastly improved if I had had Fay as a first grade teacher. Bless.

I wonder if the teddy bear cleaner could help spiff up Bokie, my much loved Smokey the Bear. (My grasp of S's came rather late.) He did a considerable amount of Extreme Bathing in his youth, but I think that he, like I, is a bit old for those kinds of pursuits. He's never been to a fancy hospital. The patches in on the holes in his jeans are all done by me, with pieces from my own jeans.

Yeah. As it turns out, dogs being functional illiterates, all the Pinturas Fresca signs in the world mean nothing to them. Nothing!

I finally fell to the Commies after several months of complete absence (thank you, Mirena!). I shouldn't be complaining but it was highly inconvenient. I have no idea if this will settle in to a regular cycle or not.

I'm ordering the Bear Wash. Some of our plushies are looking a little sad & dirty.

My life would be so much easier if I could vacuum the dog. But she is terrified of the noise.

My life would be considerably easier if my dogs would submit to the Flowbee. A LOT easier. I'm considering delivery the baskets of fur from Mackenzie to my friend with the spinning wheel.

There are no words. Aside from holy shit.

well, we don't know that they were clergy.

GC, I am so very sorry about your GF gertting laid off. That sucks!!!

Fay!!! So lovely to see your font!

I love you like Winchesters.

I love this turn of phrase so very much.

Grrrr, L.'s company! I'm so sorry, GC.

ION, sick. Miserably sick. Woe.
