Tinfoil on the windows is the cheap & dirty method I learned from reading parenting blogs. It's not pretty, but it works.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had peas for a snack. Just peas. It's going to be a sad, sad week of eating before I move. IN SIX DAYS. Yikes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A neighbor just came and took my desk and chair! Yay! I only ever used them to leave crap on, and I got them for free in a previous apartment, so no great loss that I couldn't get anyone to pay me money for them.

I got my ring back, and now I'm taking it off to go swim. Managed to cram a pedicure into my trip as well. There was other stuff to do that isn't getting done. Oh well. It's raining too much to walk or put the screen up on the deck.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

15 Most Painful Shoes Ever Created
The first one is a shoe that does the same thing as foot-binding. Has a disturbing picture of a deformed foot that apparently resulted from wearing the shoes.
I'm 99.999% sure that is a shoe that's been made for a foot that has been bound.
I know people get wacky, but flu-shot fear isn't exactly rash if you remember (or are familar with) 1976 when more people were killed or mamed by the vaccine (which DID involve drug company/congress shenanigans) than the flu its self.

For lunch, I had wilted spinach, broiled asparagus, and panko breaded tilapia. For dinner, I've smashed some garlic, sliced up onions, and started a pot roast.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had sushi.

I'm about to add potatoes and carrots to my pot roast.
I'm trying to decide if I should call my credit card company and tell them that the very large purchase I just made is a valid charge.

My parents acquired another kitten. This one likes my dad, which bodes ill for rehoming, but that's 5 cats now! This is another of the feral Momma's litters. They've managed to capture and home almost all of her litters, but she can't be caught. This one is younger than those they've caught before; still at the bouncy baby kitten stage, just started on food. It's slowness is why dad was able to walk up to where it was on the wall and scoop it up. He came inside and presented it to mom "Happy Birthday! Look what I got you!" (It's her b-day.)
It's spend most of the day tucked into dad's sweatshirt, pockets or curled up on his shoulder (inside the sweatshirt.)
They crack me up. The other 4 cats, even the one just caught in the last month or two (who is too skittery to be given away) are Not Impressed.

I also need to report my toenails are glittery raspberry pink. All the pink creeping into my life is freaking me out. Never the pale pink, though.
