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

What a hottie.

Plus he's good with kids!

I mean, he hasn't eaten that one. Yet.

Our wings are not tired.

truly true that the horrid congestion and drippiness and other sinus miseries that come on with pregnancy resolve instantly with delivery

That part is very cool. The congestion I did fix with acupuncture, but the other annoyances were insta-gone. Like the stupid diabetes, the doctor said I could have sugar coated sugar immediately after birth. Of course the down side is having to go through labor to get there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I mean, he hasn't eaten that one. Yet.

That qualifies as "good".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How can I get my work computer to play my iPod? I used to be able to do it with the Nano, but Vernish ain't givin up the goods.

Yay amych! Well done!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Of course the down side is having to go through labor to get there.

At this point, there's a lot I'm willing to endure if the end result is not being pregnant anymore*. And I'm only just barely halfway done. OY.

(*and having a baby when I'm done.)

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

The laundry wars escalate.

Yeah, I was the initial bad. I knew I wouldn't be around to take my stuff out of the dryer until around 11:30. After putting it in at 5:30. I leave the basket on top of the dryer and seriously don't consider dumping someone's clothes into their hamper a big deal.

But I get that others do. I was slack.

Come back at 11:30, and there's a note on the official envelope placed on top of my damp clothes in my hamper (WTF??) chiding me.

And two dryers full of (cold) laundry. Ah, well. Too late to dry mine (not supposed to do stuff after 9), so I take my damp stuff up to my apartment, and leave the note on top of one of the full dryers.

I come down at 8am sharp, and both dryers are still full. I empty one by heaping the clothes on top of the machine, and put my stuff in to run.

And I put the note on top of the emptied stuff.

I go down to get my stuff out 55 mins later (dryer runs 45 mins), and someone's put the selfsame note INSIDE the dryer with my still-hot clothes.

Dude! Lesser crime! And they totally know who I am (load of krav stuff), and I'll never see them coming.

Turned on the morning news because there were supposed to be krav people on, and they're discussing the dangers of a civilian TASER. Which sheepishly put me in mind of a conversation yesterday where an instructor in the advanced law enforcement classes said that they were going to get TASERed today. Well, it was optional, but he was certainly going to have it done to him. And I thought "Hot."

It would honestly take a while for me to get as far as child safety when considering why freely available TASERs might be a bad idea. It's krav people attacking and letting themselves be attacked that I objectively understand is bad. I know that. I must just make sure I remember that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

On the plus side, you just know one of those guys from Jackass is going to get tasered while another one pees on him, thus thinning the herd.

I'm attempting to eat my salad with a spoon, as the cashier neglected to put any utensils in my carry-out bag.

I'd march back there and demand a fork and the roll they shorted me, but I'm too hungry.

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

It's true. And the good krav people will not only survive, they will be...well, made more crazy is one way to look at it, but I was gonna go with honed first.
