msbelle is wise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, and thanks for all the support. It means a lot.
A friend told me that I'm OK - I'm not a bad person because of all of this. That helped a lot too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Kat - I hope your sister's recovery goes well. And your dad too, yikes.
Tommy - you're not a bad person. and it might help to tell yourself that nothing is going to happen today with regard to your housing situation. one day at a time.

tommy, some ativan or something might be helpful for getting through the anxiety for the short term.
And, your friend is right! I am so sorry this is happening to you.

Of course you're not a bad person for because of all of this, tommy! It's like saying that a kid who can't figure out how to solve a math question is a bad kid for being frustrated about it. That's simply not the case.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of this.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Found cat! Shot the antibiotic in her mouth. Now she hates me again....
You missed a step -- the part where you give treats to her after giving her the antibiotic.
Apparently this guy thinks the federal government is staffed by panicky baboons.
I won't say there aren't any....

Those census stats are really interesting, flea! I'm surprised the average age of first-time motherhood has gone down, and really surprised it's still as young as 25! But that's because I live in UMC NYC.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Lately, it seems that every time I feel like I'm going to cry, I'm in a public place, like on a train or at work or something.
I cry in the car.
Tommy, bedbugs by their evil selves would have made me crazy. This is all very stressful. Bedbugs are not your fault. Having too much stuff doesn't make you a bad person. (It better not, says the Queen of Too Much Stuff.) I suspect this is preemptive on their part, in case you should tell potential tenants or the media or set up www.thisapartmenthasbedbugs.com. I wish I could take you out for a pitcher.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Barb, to make you feel better--I sent my mother flowers for Mothers Day, which got there yesterday.
I have not heard anything. My sister however was kind enough to send me the entire email exchange she had with my mother. Mom sent one email thanking her for the flowers. My sister said "not from me". Mom said "oh yeah, there is a card--they are from [perkins]. I just assumed it was you. I guess that explains why they are so early."
