I like the ruffles.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Barb, do you have an extra bedroom? I may need to visit and actually certify that your view is not photoshopped.

sara, I just closed everything up here. Had a few unexpected door slams because of the wind tunnel in the house. It did make for hilarious cat antics, as Lucky and Reggie both flew down the steps and hit the couch full-bore as they slid across the tile while trying to corner. It must have been bad at your place if Loki didn't want to go outside.

Kat, that's a cute idea.

I do, my darling. It's got a lovely, comfortable bed. Lots of pillows. Have a full liquor cabinet and a small, but growing wine rack. Kitchen's always stocked.

IOW, my doors are always open to Buffistas.

Compassionately intolerant

The wind is nuts! I'm having to close windows as well. It's nicely cool though. Good sleeping weather. Hm. There's an idea. Sleep.

The ones who get bored because they are so smart, or who problem solve themselves right into anxiety and illness just make me sad.

We've always admired Basenjis, but honestly, they're so high maintenance because they are So. Freakin'. Smart. I want an intelligent dog, but not one I'm going to have to worry about outsmarting me.

Wind has made Loki CuhRAZY, Maria. He's currently passed out, but was a psycho asshole most of the day, lurking in windows to recharge the craxy and go after Devi and MK. I took the squirt bottle to him after I picked up Devi and she was nonstop growling. She's asleep in her fireplace throne now, unbothered.

Of course, all that yardwork I did today? Sweeping the sidewalk and steps and giving the ivy and bushes a haircut? Well, half of that is undone by the wind. Fucking magnolia leaves from the next block up are my nemesis.

Good to hear. I have a lot of vacation time that I must use up, and I'm trying to be better about traveling for pleasure rather than business.

Suh-nerk. You mean more CuhRAZY than usual, right? Though I'm chuffed to hear he hasn't aggravated her enough to displace her from the royal pillow. How is MK doing?

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

Like maybe the middle of September?

Perkins, it's penciled in on my calendar. I won't know definitively for a bit, but right now all signs point to yes.
