When Mac was a puppy, she ate a very expensive pair of suede mary janes that I was supposed to wear in my sister's first wedding. Three days before the date.
She also chewed up my teva sandals and at least one pair of sneakers.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have a cat who will eat stray kibble out of the swept-but-not-yet-dustpanned floor shmutz. Not that I have any just-this-minute experience with that. Not that she has just settled against my neck or anything.
ION, I am the greatest!! I sorted 8 bins into 5 bins and an antique suitcase (letters), and figured out where the bins go, AND discovered that a file cabinet makes a perfectly cromulent printer stand. Now if only my printer weren't eleventy zillion years old, I could print things.
Also, the file cabinet was my living room end-table, and is no longer in the living room. Oh darn, must buy more furniture.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was going to weigh in on the commute discussion, but now I see y'all have moved on to shoes. And fingers.
This amuses me for some reason.
Oh! Now I remember! All that discussion in Bureau about how fast Natter moves. I mean, yeah it moves fast, but honestly, will anyone care if she doesn't learn how long it takes me to get to work? I think not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd never keep shoes at work because I'd want to wear them on the weekend or after work and get irritable. Also because I'm the sort of dresser that can go through 6 pairs of black sandals and not find the right one for the skirt--keeping the proper range of shoes at work would be space-prohibitive.
Oy. I have some work CYA to do, and I'm not loving it.
And a doctor's appointment mid-afternoon. Love.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
A friend of mine has a cat that will eat shoelaces right out of the eyelets. The whole freaking shoelace.
I learned that the hard way when I was over there one night, kicked off my shoes and then found shoelace-less shoes awaiting me when I left.

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

Kitty wants to prevent humans from committing suicide by hanging with shoelaces?

I used to have shoes at work. Then I stopped giving a crap about looking good and I took all my shoes home.

Oh my cats used to do this! I couldn't keep any shoelaced shoes where they could get them. They don't seem to care much anymore. Mostly they like to sleep on any shoes I leave on the floor. Like kind of propped up on the shoes. I need a better shoe system...Actually I need a better life system.
But, soon, I will have Roomba and I think everything will change!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I mean, yeah it moves fast, but honestly, will anyone care if she doesn't learn how long it takes me to get to work? I think not.Yes, but we can be consoled with cute kid pictures and stories. You brought some, yes?
*props chin in hands*
Kinda glad my cats don't eat accessories. Though, a word of warning, Plei's cat wrestled my purse to the ground and was going for the killing bite before it was rescued. Not by me, I was laughing too much.

loves Burrell. well, I always do, but, you know.
ION, I continue to hate doing work. Even on a not bad day, like today.
Why I gotta think about stuff and shit?
