Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, my boss just told me she'd be ready for our 2pm meeting "sometime after 2." Um, OK.

tommy, I forgot to say - my sympathies for losing Senor Sock. He sounds like a fine companion. And I loved them giving you the little clay thing with his footprints - such a nice gesture.

So, it continues to be after 2 here in the eastern time zone, and still no meeting. Hmph. I wanted it cancelled in the first place! But now I just have to wait and see.

Yikes. If more people start feeling bad or it gets worse for both of you, I'd say get some fresh air pronto.

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

Huh. I after retrieving my car I came home and slept the rest of the morning. Possibly not a good thing. Hope I can fall asleep tonight.

It's an abomination against nature, that's what it is.

I don't understand that (eta: the lowfat cow thing). Here in the US, anyway, the fattiness of cow's milk is referred to to as the "butterfat content." The higher, the better (as dairy farmers get paid more). It's worth more because more cheese, etc. can be made from it. So I just don't understand the economic incentive for lowfat cows.

Maybe I'm turning into my dad. He was opposed to Bovine Growth Hormone because it made no financial sense (increased milk production for the industry as a whole would just force the price of milk down, meaning the drug companies were the only ones who would come out ahead).

Oh, and thanks all for all the kitty well-wishes - it means a lot to me. I'm glad that I could convey at least some of Senor Sock's awesomeness in my posts here.

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

So I just don't understand the economic incentive for lowfat cows.

Is it perhaps net cheaper to not do the separation process, rather than perform separation and sell the butterfat?

We should all switch to camel milk anyway. Cures allergies. I read that.

I should also take this baby migraine out to lunch. But I have no book to read!

Sorry to hear about that, Tommy. He does sound like a great cat.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My galleys have arrived! But I am at work. Boo.
