My PBS station is playing the "Complete Jane Austen" thing that was supposed to run before the series started now. And they are, of course, Pledge Driving - and threatening people with the new version of "Persuasion" if they pledge a certain sum.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy birthday libkitty! I hope you had a most magnificent day.

T is taking lessons from the cats. When he wants to get your attention, he crawls up and headbutts you.
Excellent. Not a bad plan.
Allyson, I'd come help, but I just spent all day cleaning up my house so my niece can move in while she's between leases for a couple months. I actually excavated my dining table and much of the back room. And cleaned the bathroom. Threw out a bajillion magazines. And yet, still didn't find my W-2. Whoops. Coulda sworn it was in that stack on the table.
Must now excavate a shelf in the kitchen for her foodstuffs.

he's got the highest success rate of giving mice brain tumors without killing them in the process, as well as drawing aortal blood without missing, in the lab.
I love these credentials. Go Bro!
Happy Birthday libkitty!

Today has sucked. Weekends should not suck. N has been fusspants and part time cranky. And then Roman, the dog, accidentally bit my thigh hard enough to break skin, ruining my walk. And Grace was cranky with me. Feh.

Ouch. So sorry.

I seem to have watched a lot of documentaries this weekend, which on the balance isn't all that bad.

Oof, I'm sorry others have had bad days.
Lori, K or the other niece? In any case, they were both great.
The nephews entertain me. D was all about gramma cuddling while she was there, sneaking down to climb into bed in the middle of the night. When I last visited, he BEGGED for sleepovers, but I was the bitch who said no (who can't sleep well in new places, nevermind a five year old crawling in with me.) My mom, the pushover, got suckered.
And there was one besotted 5.5 year old who is totally wrapping my mother about his fingers.

Heh, all four of those nieces are Ks. My sister was on a theme. Anyhow, it's the eldest who is staying with me. That other one is in school in Portland.
Grandmas can totally be suckered. Hee!.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Good day - I dropped $1K.
Data recovery was $400 cheaper than my last estimate - I'll know in a week if they got anything.
we went and saw Horton Hears a Who - much funnier than I expected - laugh out loud in parts. Mac shhhushed me.
And to be crossposted with the craft thread - I started a knitting project - the first in a long while. YAY!
