I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ooh! Castle's tonight? I hope it's as cheesy fun as it looks.

Went to do laundry and noticed that not only did the slamming disturb me and distress my cats, it also knocked everything over on the low shelf against the stairwell wall. Nothing broke. I'm almost disappointed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tomorrow night, actually.

Castle looks like a cheap knock off of Bones to me, but I am recording it anyway.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Woohoo! Got the Einstein puzzle. I may not be top 2% smart, but at least I don't feel dumb.

What should I do with the big bunch of rainbow chard I got tonight? I've never cooked with it before.

Whoa. Just had a sobering conversation with Miss Louise. Seems Nakia was pregnant and delivered an 8lb little girl by c-section 2 weeks ago. She didn't have any prenatal care. (I didn't even know she was pregnant and I've seen her around.) The baby girl has a condition that causes fluid on the brain, and she's already had a stroke. Doctors say she may survive 3 months. The father and his family have really stepped up, and have gotten them on their insurance and are willing to support Nakia so she can stay home with her child for however long they have.

Nakia is 19. She's the only one in her line to make it out of high school before having a child. She's working, even tonight. I just...damnit. It's so sad all around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

yum, chard. we use the leaves like spinach (they are tender that way). Separate the leaves from the stems, chop the stems into small pieces. sautee the stems in some olive oil, once they start to soften after a couple of minutes, throw in some chopped garlic, sautee for 30-60 seconds, and put in the chopped up leaves. wilt the chopped up leaves, throw some salt on there, and a splash of balsamic if you like.

Delicious, will probably take 10 minutes.
