Cats kill bugs. This is a great positive IMO. And they keep mice away. We wre the only people on our floor not to have mice in our NYC building. Also they make me laugh with the CrazyAss wrestling games and other goofy antics, as well as lowering my blood pressure instantly by having beautiful serene sleepy cat face. Also cozy and soft.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My cat makes me giggle when she jumps onto my chest when I'm lying on my couch, stands so she's looking straight down into my eyes, and "Mrrow!"s as loud as possible before lying down to be petted. She sounds so delightfully bitchy when she does this.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am also flashing on the Neil Gaiman story about the cat that protected the family from bumpinthenights. I never worry about the Thing in the Closet anymore, because I feel sure my two cats will give off some feline Creepy Beastie warning.
Now, they may not protect me from it, but I feel certain that with warning, I can fling rock salt/a Popsicle cross/a scared cat at siad Beastie and prevail...or at the very least, flee to safety.

I don't worry because I figure the cats are responsible for the bumpinthenights!
Yea gods, I hate the week of the submission deadline. Panicky people! Demandy people! Procrastinators!

I took a nap today with Bartleby curled up inside the hollow my side-sleeping created. Not much better than waking up, lifting my head slightly and seeing drowsy pooch-snoot peeking up inquiringly. Are we done sleeping now? Gosh that was fun. Wanna play ball to get the 'ol juices moving again? Any snacks around? And? I love you the most."
Yep. I had cats all my life growing up...and love all my friends' pusses, but pooch snoot makes my heart sing these days.

Apparently Isaiah Washington just fired his publicist. Yeah, because that's where the problem lies.
I hear Lee Anne DeVette is looking for work!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A cat demands that you be strong enough to cope with a creature who loves you on its own terms.
Eh. You can ignore a cat just as well as you can ignore a dog. But y'all keep your pets indoors.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Amazingly, the traffic going to work wasn't bad at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am home and self-medicating with mac-n-cheese and Food Network Challenge. Next is hot cocoa with Bailey's.

I am okay today. Despite some potentially weird job search news, not depressed.
And I got a krav instructor shirt! They're hard to come by, and I've been whining for a while. I stopped by our other location after lunch and the head guy there gave me the one off his back.
He's a doll, even if he thinks I'm a lunatic.
