Oh, man. COBRA can certainly wait a day. It's totally retroactive. Everything can wait a day, except perhaps alcohol.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry aurelia. And I endorse mindlessness for an evening as a reasonable response.

aurelia, take the time you need and good luck!
ION,I was chilling on my porch and a fox ran down the sidewalk. Not much bigger than Loki, but a fucking FOX! I saw them when I lived at the edge of the city on the train tracks -a natural path, just really didn't expect to see one here. Just trotting down my sidewalk as if out for a stroll, ignoring the stalker cats sleeping on the porches.

Oh, aurelia, that's awful. I'm sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think I'm going to watch a episode or six of SG-A. Thanks for all the sympathy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yesterday I saw a coyote and a pair of elk. Not at the same time.
But then, I live way out in the middle of nowhere. Not actually that remarkable for us.

Hee. Yeah, out in NM, I'm used to the wildlife. Elk, deer, coyotes, roadrunners, bear, mountain lions, yeah, ok, hiyas. Here in B'more? I almost drove off the road when I saw a black bear in Owings Mills.
Also, I'm all YAY URBAN FOX! We're encroaching on them, only fair they figure out how to come back.

Oh yeah, I saw a roadrunner yesterday too. Hee.
I'm totally yay about your fox! Foxes are so small when you see them in real life. And fast!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I swear I've never heard it before. My apartment building seems to have its own twitter equivalent--loud parents talking in the courtyard. Which for the first time I appreciated. Because West LA just shook like a motherfucker.
It just has to be usually not so loud, right?

I think it's funny that people are freaked out here by coyotes -- when a rap on the window will scare them off by half a mile at my parents' house.

He or she was smaller than Loki! And it wasn't darting, just sauntering as if it owned the sidewalk.
My parents have a roadrunner who comes and suns itself on the iron table in front of their dining room windows. Likes the ventilation, I guess. And likes to drive their 3 cats absolutely MAD. They'll all be at the window, crazed and chittering, and it is out there, wings spread and relaxed.
