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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH's movie is going pear-shaped, and the phone has been ringing non-stop for three days now. The process has involved people lying on the phone, zillions of emails, an actor's manager saying one thing is a fact and his agent saying the opposite, people making offers to REALLY famous people without checking with the producers, people screaming invective at my husband in a restaurant then calling five minutes after they walk out to say they were just "anxious," lawyers trying to strong-arm various other lawyers, locations being changed at the last minute, CAA calling 20 times a day saying they need an answer NOW, and endless negotiating. There are quite a few people I want to punch right now but luckily, the DH is taking this whole thing way better than I am. I have been home for 3 hours, and he has literally been on one conference call or another the entire time. It's exciting to overhear, but i don't know how he keeps his cool.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jaysus Scrappy. Pour yourself a cocktail and put your feet up. Skritch the pets and treat it like PPV.
Okay. Work did not kill me.
Maybe troubleshooting my PC will. Yikes.

Cause he's him! Wishing you both smooth(er) sailing in the future.
OK, you'd think I would have learned to not put sharp things in my pockets after I accidentally sewed the surgical scissors used to remove my mom's c-section stitches into my winter coat ( they were from my birth! What? She saw them and knew they'd make good seam rippers for sewing and so took 'em) and subsequently stabbed myself in the hip one day (which is a weird sort of symmetry...)
But no. Stabbed myself with one of those flossers tucked into my fleece.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yeah, it's a fragment of a sentence that leaps right off the page, isn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sheesh, scrappy! At least it's more interesting that work bullshit for most of the rest of us...

I was using them to rip a seam to replace the zipper! And then when I stitched the seam back up, they got sewn inside.
It sounds even weirder, doesn't it?
And then I went through airport security several times over the next year before they attacked me.

She was very happy to get them back. None of the other scissors on the market quite compare.
