Our apartment is a total disaster, so I am using the timer productivity method. Set a timer for 15 minutes and get done as much as I can, and then I get a small break. I'm impressed at how well it is working for me. I should have tried it sooner.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sincere discussion lets you know dissent is alive, especially in the times where you can't do, or can't see what's being done. I guess I'd always rather know there are two sides to a problem than think I wandered into a monolith. It can be really scary when the silence sounds like it's against you, and everyone sympathetic is too busy to pipe up.
True. But to me, it feels like either the discussion isn't sincere (or just biased), and that there are 14 different sides, not only 2, that want representation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We're thinking of getting Emeline a hooded rat for her birthday. There are two of them in her class and she seems to really like them.
I think it will be a great learning experience. Either in learning about responsibility in taking care of the rat, or learning about the circle of life and predators because the cats ate it.

Our wings are not tired.
A bunny might be easier, Aims. The cat had no interest in it at all. Well, she would jump out in an obvious attempt to spook the bunny from time to time, but she never tried to eat it.

I have a shiny red Trixie dress from Perkins! Yay, thanks for passing it on.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Are the rats wrecking the grade curve? I've heard they're pretty smart.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This information sent me on a spelunking expedition into Wikipedia that ended with the discovery that Michael Jackson's song "Ben" was from the soundtrack to a horror movie (the sequel to "Willard", as it happens). I am pleased to know this.

“Not dead yet!”
Aims, have you gotten your Big Box (TM) yet?
