I would take a do-over if only to allow others to benefit.
Scrappy, I am so sorry about your niece.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am really not paying any attention to the basketball, but I just had to get on my work email to check our pool. I am, unsurprisingly, losing. See aforementioned "not paying attention." So why do I need to know??

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Scrappy, I am so sorry about your niece. She and you and all your family have been in my thoughts since you first posted.

Very sorry to hear about your niece, Scrappy. {{{}}}
I am all for a do-over of today if it means I get to stuff myself with sushi again. I might even get something accomplished earlier in the day on a second try.

Poor heads.
My mostly-deaf neighbor has a new rotty puppy (her previous dog died some years ago.) OMG, I forgot how endearing puppies are! Just a warm furry bag of eagerness and cuddles. Their skin is so loose, they just wiggle their bones in their skin when you hold them. He was so totally adorable. Her old dog was such a sweetheart, I expect this one will be the same. Almost makes me want a puppy (except they become dogs, and while I like dogs, I'm not really a dog person. Mister Kitty is as close as I come to dog-personage.)
The neighbor reads lips perfectly and speaks fairly clearly, but it is really hard to remember to look up so she can read lips when you've got a wiggly pup in your lap...

I heated up my heating pad for my back - so lovely. I have watched Torchwood and now I'm going back to bed.

sara, you keep saying you're not a dog person, yet you seem to get along well with dogs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I get along great with dogs. But I am a cat person.
Maybe part of it is I don't want the extra work associated with a dog. Part of it is living in a small apartment in a big city. A big chunk of it is that cats are awesome!
But I will happily play with doggies when they are around....

Oh, I get along fine with them. I like them! (Still can get a giggle out of me remembering Kuma falling all over me in Hank and Bear just snuggling up.) Frankly, I get along fine with just about everything that can be made into a pet. It's just I have slightly less desire to have one as I do cats. Cats being annoying? Well, yeah. Dogs being annoying test me more. And doggy smells bug me a helluva lot. I don't hold it against them, but wet dog/needs bath dog smells are a negative trigger.
The reality is, short of some sort of roach or bug (and I'm sure there are some bugs that are the exception- like ladybugs and praying mantises!) thrust into my life, I'm going to go all mamabear about them.
Well, maybe not fish. Fish kinda bore me. Except for my brother's bloodthirsty one. That one has personality! Homicidal.

HA!
Noah's day care has a bird and fish. He loves to sit in the high chair and watch the fish swim. It's fish TV! I'm glad he has them there so I don't have to get him fish at home. In a few more months, like during the summer, he's going to love a trip to the aquarium.
