Huh. They think there might be another cougar wandering around the outskirts of Chicago. Maybe they won't be so quick to shoot this one down in the street? They keep showing the dead cougar all over the news and it's really getting to me.
On the other hand, for perspective, this week marks the death-by-violence (mostly shootings, a few beating deaths and other horrors) of the
24th
Chicago Public Schools student so far this year. Jesus fuck.
Thanks Jessica - DH took her, because I realized at the last minute I had a massively important/annoying conference call. (and attendant guilt) He said the doctor was really good with her, but he's not our regular pediatrician. Who is on maternity leave, but who we love. So yeah. Different ped... in a couple of weeks.
DH and I differ on our reactions to certain phrases & generalities - "too long" would have earned him a "what is that in calendar terms, exactly?" from me. DH is much more go-along-get-along. Which is why he works in an office and I usually don't.
Last night was awful. As bad as the first day of this all over again. All I'm going to say. Now? No fever, ready to write letters to her friends and send them a bunch of hello kitty stickers. which we will do as soon as she finishes making up clifford/curious george fanfic. (documented for all eternity in bitches).
Barack Obama just robo-called me.
Just as long as he doesn't RickRoll you.
Where are the cougars coming from, brenda?
From the wild (the
Wisconsin
wild, they keep emphasizing) - they're speculating that the numbers might be growing and we'll be seeing more of this kind of stuff, actually.
Wow. That's ... disturbing.
From back a bit.
Barack Obama just robo-called me.
Cyborg President of Doom!
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!
My mom's boss is on my tv. Huh.
My tivo stopped connecting because the expiration date on my bank card changed, and now it's all updated but the damn thing still won't connect. "Failed while negotiating." WTF? The writers' strike would never have ended if my Tivo was involved.
Heh. And also, ugh! I'm hoping everything will have gotten itself worked out while I'm not there. And/or the loose cord will be obvious when I get home.
