I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Pix, yikes! Good job, Kaylee. Extra ear scritches for you.

Good for Kaylee! And stay safe you!

The Biscuit woke me up by barking early this morning, but I'm pretty sure it was a coyote, since he was standing on the bed and barking out the bedroom window, and the other neighborhood dogs were kicking up a fuss too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eep, Pix. Here's hoping it was the wind or something?

I have decided to give myself a break. I was kind of beating myself up for not doing anything today, BUT! I was exhausted at the beginning of yesterday, and still spent all afternoon traipsing around town and then went to a movie. So I think I needed the sitting-on-my-ass time today. And I did make some good progress on the freelance project. And tomorrow is another day!

Yay for tomorrows! We need to get back into the Onerous Task day swing, don't we?

Well, the canning is finished. Or, cooling, anyway. No obvious disasters, although you can tell the one I forgot to clear bubbles from. We'll eat that one first. But that was a lot of work for five pints of tomato sauce. I can see doing it in greater volume, because today's work would could have gone double for the same amount of effort. Still, exciting, and I will have organic tomato sauce. I could probably do another two batches of that, plus double that for canned diced tomatoes, but I think we'll have to do jellies next.

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

No, the problem is more that they didn't mention ANY anesthesia.

You need to ASK questions and get answers. It's worrying that you are so freaked out by the procedure, not sure you want it and going in blind. A few minutes for you to ask important questions about a medical procedure isn't too much to ask from either you or the medical team.

Good dog, Kaylee!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I did ask plenty of questions, and got answers, Cass. It didn't occur to me to ask about anesthesia. Honestly, I don't need to be scolded and lectured at. This is not my fault.

Hey, what is there to do in Seattle?

I find myself with basically a full day in Seattle when I fly out on the 17th to join my next ship. I have friends in like 1957351843 cities worldwide, but turns out that Seattle is not one of them.

Any parks or particularly nice areas of downtown or something?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Zen, I totally grok why you're freaking more about the D&C. I hope it works for you and the recovery is swift and as painless as possible.

I am Allyson and Jen and Connie on the immigration thing. Living in a country for two years where people immigrate FROM really gave me perspective. To all those who are self-righteous about it, I would like to arrange a Freaky Friday that lasts a year, where suddenly they are a school teacher in Moldova whose monthly salary is $20 and who hasn't received that salary in SIX MONTHS, and who comes home from school not only to grade and care for her children and cook from scratch, but to work in a garden or even larger allotment so that, by god, they have SOMETHING to eat. See how that illegal maid job in Italy looks then.
