I have had pie! It was delicious apple pie. Tonight? More pie.
Also I scored a rare OOP CD that I wanted (Sugarpie Desanto. I wrote about her in LiTG but that was from the vinyl).
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree with the wise Buffistas who pointed out that doing what is needed IS strength. Kat, you and K and Lori are all handling this situation wiuth strength and courage, even if it doesn't feel like it.
We unpacked all day. This makes me happy. Still not having phone or TV service, less so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is awesome - fake Calvin and Hobbs artwork: [link]
Few historians know of the heartwarming friendship between French Reformation theologian John Calvin and English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the latter of whom may or may not have been real, considering he was not even born yet.

Withnail and Pie
We want the finest pies in the world and we want them right here and we want them right now!
I will not be dedicating my life to stripping wallpaper, but it is pretty satisfying. Got maybe 75% of the breakfast nook done, maybe a little more. Fortunately, the breakfast nook is all I have to do. Had my mom's help today, which was nice, and my dad went around filling nail holes and spackling cracks while the rest of us peeled paper off the walls. A pleasant and productive day, which I must try to remember when my shoulders are all sore in the morning and I need to force them to get that last bit of paper stripped. It's up close to the ceiling and in the corner, of course.
Also picked out the paint color for the bathroom, it's called Dim Sum, which just delights me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Got to snuggle with Noah. That was nice. And it's been a while since I've chatted with Kat too.

I got to hear D's monologues and T's baby babbling in the background of a phone call.
Newp, not as great as baby snuggling. I miss thiat. Warm human lumps that smile fix a lot of sore spots.

Even though Noah was fussier than I'd like, he was still mostly a good egg. He's still asleep and I'll let him sleep more before I feed him again.
I accidentally forgot dog food. Oops. I gave the dog a bowl full of liver treats as a bribe and he seemed more than happy to accept.
