Missed a phonecall from crazy neighbor at old apartment. We exchanged cells back when I didn't know she was crazy, but we've never used them.

Now? Why now? She was so far out of my mind and life, why now?! So, to call back, or act like she accidentally dialed me, that is the question.

Back is a little better, but I couldn't bend far enough to get my sneakers on and tied, so I wore clogs, which just made my feet hurt and made me tired, and I'm sure did no good for my back.

If she actually has something to say to you, she'll call back.

Nate is reading aloud to me from his Washington, D.C. guidebook that we expect to be using. The sense of wonder in his voice as he's discovering all these cool things we can do and what neat places there are to explore is pretty fun.

Your boy has taste, Steph. The problem with those fashions wasn't that they crossed the line between men's clothes and women's, they were just plug ugly.

The look on that model's face made me laugh and laugh and laugh. (It was, roughly, "Maybe I *should* have become a surgeon like Mom wanted....at least then I wouldn't have to wear a speedo and carry a purse to earn a living!"

How is Dita von Hees adjusting?

I still have boxes in my living areas (oh god, another thing to deal with before the trip) and I regularly fish cats from there.

Yeah, this [link] is pretty compelling. As is [link]

Takes all sorts, iit does. It's nothing I'd change a litterbox for.

Litterbox? What litterbox. My catz are in ur yard, pooping in ur flower bedz.

And chipmunks are peeing in your closet. Dubious trade.
