I need to bathe Mister Kitty. And before that, I have to get baby shampoo. He's old (19, maybe?) and just not good at keeping himself catspit clean. And today he peed on his foot in the litter, and it was a mess to clean up. Makes me sad, cause it is clearly a sign he's ANCIENT, but his good mood and appetite (he's totally cheating by eating Devi's food right now) is still there. But his hindquarters are weaker and he does a lousy job of cleaning up after himself. Feh. I know he's pretty much miraculous with surviving the diabetes and doing so well, and really, this is ANCIENT for a perfectly healthy cat, but...

Oh, poor Mister Kitty! My co-worker is also going through the worries of having a 19-y.o. cat, who just got her teeth cleaned (she showed me the before and after pic, and the tartar that built up over six months was horrific!).
I managed an average lap speed of just under 55s. For 48 laps. WOOOHOO. It was definite work, though. I usually average 57s.
Wow! My lap time is more like twice that, especially my backstroke. And in yesterday's swim, I was definitely slowing down after I got past my 20th lap.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You guys got chatty while I was out at derby practice!
Cashmere - OMGWTFAsshat. Is there a jumpstarter or crowdsource charity for need-to-replace-stolen-boyscout-funds?
The Council will give us some free popcorn to sell to make some money ($700). It'll help. It doesn't stop us from doing our local stuff so the kids are still having fun.
I wonder if they ever find out I'm an atheist if they'd toss us out or if it just takes embezzling to get kicked out.

Why do I wake up early on days I cannot leave until 9? I'd be at work by 8 if I had my car....

I've been awake since 5 -- couldn't get back to sleep. Haven't accomplished much of anything so far.

There seemed to be a conspiracy of cats and smoke alarm batteries trying to keep me from sleeping last night. In the end I won, but it feels like I lost.

Gronk. Do not want to go to work today. But I've got an important meeting from 9 - 1 that I need to be really on the ball for.
What the hell, brain? Yesterday I had an awesome review (according to my boss I got the highest rating in our group), very nice bonus, and raise to come. (Not that I know what it is, since the system is fucked.) Today I wake up groggy and tense from one of those nasty failing-on-a-critical-project dreams. Ugh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My new pattern is waking up at 3:00 am, and then not being able to get back to sleep until 5:30. I need to wake up at 6:00.
This is not on.

Uhg.
Well, I've wiped down the stove and counters and washed my front door.
