Thanks Scrappy. I really feel for my mom. Emotional upset really makes her confused, and it all happened so suddenly, so I think she's having a bit of a hard time taking it all in.

I did something silly tonight, but that would probably make my Nanny Power proud. My local Bay dept store is closing, and everything is discounted. So I bought two gold silk drapery panels even though I have no use for them, because they were $15 each and SILK! There was a gorgeous oyster coloured silk panel there, but only one, or I would have totally bought that too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Sue, so sad! Time for another Serious Talk with my cat.

Time for another Serious Talk with my cat.

I have already had that talk with both mine. And I told Oz that he's going to have to lose a few pounds too.

I figured out why the Segway is spelled the way it is when I realized it was the phonetic version of segue, which is the word for a transition from one thing to another, or from one place to another. I felt so smart, like when I figured out a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" question that "karaoke" means "empty orchestra" because it has the same first syllable as "karate,", which means "empty hand."

I may have been a bit insufferably smug about that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Time for another Serious Talk with my cat.

Me too.

Sue, I am sorry. That's hard.

I am confident that these talks will prevent our cats from ever getting sick or dying.

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

Time for another Serious Talk with my cat.

I don't expect the ever part, but I have had several talks since September with Perkins the (14 year old, bad kidney-ed) cat about how he is Not Allowed to get seriously sick until at least next October.

I already started trying to feed Oz pumpkin this weekend, as a low fat replacement for some of his food. It's not going that well, but if he's hungry enough, he'll eat it.

I am confident that these talks will prevent our cats from ever getting sick or dying.

My Brother's dog died two weeks ago, so I am already having stressful thoughts about things coming in threes.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I am confused by "seneschal."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I spent a small fortune having one of Ruby's teeth pulled a couple of months ago. I didn't realize how bad an abscess had become, and had GREAT TERRIBLE GUILT that I let her be in pain. And then Kristen had to help me wrestle her down to get her antibiotics and pain meds inside her.

RUBY! I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU. STOP FREAKING OUT.

Also, please tell me when you do not feel good. Somehow.
