Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yay kitty!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray for Swifty!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's very quiet, this afternoon.

TOO quiet....

Hah! You called it, Nicole.

For about 15 minutes here, all of my noisy noisy neighbors have been perfectly quiet, and I've enjoyed the silence so.much. This way you can hear the birds and the wind....

The cat's back?

Punishingly Intricate

Cat came back! I had a feeling he was close by under a bush but was afraid I was deluding myself.

Man, not the funnest Sunday ever.

Fortunately, he came back in time for a) me to give him his shot close to when I would have anyway so his insulin schedule isn't all effed up and b) me to go out to dinner w/ my friend. I don't know where we are going but there will be alcoholic drinks involved for sure.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, thank goodness, lisah! I'd have been so panicky!

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

Yay kitty-come-back-ishness!

Have folks heard the Old 97's song "Murder (or a Heart Attack)"? It's about when the songwriter lost his cat. (His cat came back too.)

A good song to play to celebrate.

He was just testing to see if you cared. :-)

Ah, there's the neighbor's yapping dog. Knew the stillness was too good to last....

Now tagless for your comfort.

lisah, I'm glad he came home!

Dinner tonight was French toast made with leftover challah bread. Topped with sliced strawberries, blueberries and bananas. With a choice of whipped cream, powdered sugar or syrup.

My kids looked at me like I'm being inhabited by an alien parasite, probably thinking, "Whipped cream for supper? What have you done with our REAL mommy?"
