Thoughts to you and yours ita.
Thoughts with Cashmere's sister and family also.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

It will be interesting for me to see how much garbage we actually produce since I haven't dealt with accumulation of trash in years. I love my trash shute and recycling bins on the floor that get cleared out everyday.
I do plan to have composting bins in the backyard though, so at least food waste won't go out like it does now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fluffy Mystery at Edge of Solar System Solved
Our solar system is passing through a cloud of interstellar material that shouldn't be there, astronomers say. And now the decades-old Voyager spacecraft have helped solved the mystery.
The cloud is called the "Local Fluff." It's about 30 light-years wide and holds a wispy mix of hydrogen and helium atoms, according to a NASA statement released today. Stars that exploded nearby, about 10 million years ago, should have crushed the Fluff or blown it away.
So what's holding the Fluff in place?
"Using data from Voyager, we have discovered a strong magnetic field just outside the solar system," explained Merav Opher, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from George Mason University. "This magnetic field holds the interstellar cloud together ["The Fluff"] and solves the long-standing puzzle of how it can exist at all."
The Fluff is much more strongly magnetized than anyone had previously suspected," Opher said. "This magnetic field can provide the extra pressure required to resist destruction."
I have Local Fluff... in my pants!

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita, I am so sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm sorry, ita. My sympathies to your family.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita, I'm sorry about your cousin. That is very young.
And, yeah, there's almost always food or grease soaked in.
Yep, grease screws up the paper recyling process b/c they pretty much just shred it and make a slurry, AFAIK.
I think we have an actual garbage load maybe twice a month, and a lot of that is cat litter.
I think we have one bag a week or so, and cat litter is certainly a factor. Have I mentioned that I love my new roommate? B/c I love my new roommate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In minor annoying news: I tried to bring some stuff to my parents' last weekend, but will still have two suitcases to shlep tomorrow. Not big or heavy, but still. It's a good thing two of my cousins won't be there.
