So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I am now reduced to The Secret, and am sitting at my desk willing a wayward deliverydrone to show up with a platter of pad thai or a sheet cake or something. I will feed myself using only the power of my mind!

Speaking of, I went to the big copier today and discovered that someone had left a copy of a notepad or something from The Secret in the copier. It said something like "write down what you want, and look at it every day" It had some fake wax seal looking thing on it, paper was supposed to look like parchment. very cheesy.

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

Okay, that dog post links to sweet potato and dogs in elk.

I never quite made it through sweet potato.

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

I think someone posted about the Republicans in Utah who are convinced that immigration is part of Satan's plan to destroy the US. Here is a resolution on the subject that was considered at the Utah County Republican Convention:

Resolution opposing Satan’s plan to destroy the U.S. by stealth invasion

Whereas, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (Revelation 12:9)

Whereas, in order for Satan to establish his “New World Order” and destroy the freedom of all people as predicted in the Scriptures, he must first destroy the U.S. There are ways to destroy a nation other than with bombs or bullets. The mostly quiet and unspectacular invasion of illegal immigrants does not focus the attention of the nation the way open warfare does, but is all the more insidious for its stealth and innocuousness.

...

Whereas, we cannot benefit the world by eliminating our borders and sovereignty as advocated by Satan’s “axis of evil”, if we do, the world will pull us down to its lowest common level and we will have committed national suicide. In that case, the U.S. will no longer be a free and prosperous land or light of liberty for all nations. Once he has destroyed the U.S., Satan will be able to establish his “Satanic New World Order” and destroy the freedom of all people.

Whereas, the national security and the future of the nation and the American people depends upon how well we do our job and defend our borders. We must control our borders to illegal immigration, have a well regulated temporary worker program, as needed, or face extinction. The destruction of the U.S. by the forces of evil is a top priority of Satan.

I really envy the people who know the exact details of what God and Satan want....

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Dogs in Elk! CLASSIC.

We might not be ready for cuddle car immediately, but it's on the horizon. Noah's night nurse seemed enthusiastic about it last night.

Yoga was so good today. And monday, yoga was good but incredibly hard (and painful for two days). I'm so glad I broke up with my therapist because yoga makes me feel so much better than therapy did. What does this say about me?

My nextdoor neighbor has a soon who is in his 30s and, I think, had some sort of brain injury. Today, on my way to the back neighbor's place to return a wrench, I saw him drop his pants and take a dump in his yard.

Ummm... I'm not sure what to think about that beyond yoiks!

ALSO, went to Huntington Gardens today, which was lovely.

I'm enthusiastic about it today, if they ask.

And even if they don't.

I just seem to have ditched kettlebell. Oops. At least I won't get called right afterwards to a) be asked why or b) not be asked why but to come out to dinner.

I hope.

Instead I will lie down...the magic of the steroids that picked up where the magic of the trigger point injection that was boosting the previous trigger point injection may be wearing off.

Dammit.

Hey, where's Allyson?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm enthusiastic about cuddle care as well!

Less enthusiastic about the current state of ita. Sorry.

Ummm... I'm not sure what to think about that beyond yoiks!

Indeed.

This is... weird. A whole collection of anecdotes about women active in the pro-life movement who nonetheless have abortions themselves....

"The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion"

When the Anti-Choice Choose

"I've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?' When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it." (Physician, Texas)

Everything leads to Dogs in Elk?

Yeah, I'm enthusiastic about cuddle care asap too. And missing having wee ones nearby cause even if they don't need it theraputically, I ADORE being the resting spot for them. Babies, kittens, I'm a sap.

I think we all have to have at least one "interesting" neighbor. Seems like a trend.

I'm glad yoga is making you feel good, Kat. I wish your ex-therapist was oodles more convenient, but I also get that. I hope that, should you need one later, you find one uberconvenient.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So if the sushi place near me answers "Hi Lee" when I call on my cell, that's just because I have a LA area code, right?
