And cats are extra-oozy in winter.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
curious. You'd think they'd melt in the summer time, what with all that fur and all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Cats are like black holes for warmth. Particularly part-Siamese (seriously, the breed was developed in Thailand, cold is not fun for them) cats who were born and raised in the desert, and who have subsequently moved to Minnesota.

This is why I don't call in sick when I'm not. Karma always comes back to bite me in the ass, in this case literally. I called in sick yesterday. I wasn't really, I had just been up late, then drove a friend home who'd lost her grandfather. We stayed in my car for over an hour talking and crying and laughing about her grandpap and my dad. Didn't get home until after 2AM. I was drained, knew I'd be exhausted the next day, and I'd done an event this weekend, so I sent my boss an email.
This morning, I woke up with stomach cramps, but not the menstrual kind. Now, I feel queasy and my stomach seems determined to empty itself at a rapid rate. Ugh. Karma's a bitch.

That sucks, Vortex. I hope your stomach decides to behave itself soon.

Karma's a bitch.
Karma shouldn't be so big a bitch that helping a friend out means she turns your stomach inside out. I hope you feel better soon, Vortex.
~ma for the friend who has been more like family to you, bonny.
~ma to those who need it.
I have been ignoring most of my real work and calling daycare centers about tours/open houses/wait lists. It gives me agita.

I don't think karma applies if you were doing a good deed. May you would have been sicker if you hadn't stayed home? Anyway, I hope your intestines behave soon.
Bonny, I know you want him with you always, but I hope you can find peace with whatever happens. Think how very lucky you are to have had him this long.

Hanging out with the boys here at home- they seem to be doing pretty well.

Yesterday, I worked from home due to the snow and not wanting to make K-Bug drive on the ice and slush.
Today, the car battery was dead this morning so I got to work late (thanks for the quick response AAA).
So far no one here has complained. I still feel like a bad employee.

Vortex, if comforting your friend was deserving of bad karma, even if you called in fake sick to do it, then I'm a unicorn that flies and shits money.
