This "grownup responsibility" thing is FOR THE BIRDS.

I'm working on outsourcing as much of it as possible.

I need someone to come organize my closets. For real, people. This is getting ridiculous. There are items of clothing that I KNOW I have but I cannot find. They are lost somewhere in the Limbo of Clean Unfolded Laundry, or perhaps the Closet of Cat Fur and Despair.

sarameg, this may not work for you, but when I had a cat who was having trouble making it to the litter box, I went to Goodwill and bought a ton of old towels and sheets for cheap, and laid them in the places he was most likely to finally lose control (near the litter box, fortunately; he always tried to make it). When the inevitable happened, I just rolled up the soiled cloth and took it out to the garbage can. I just couldn't deal with the laundry/dirty floor issues.

MK is making it to the box. Problem is, he's stepping in it at some point, as it, um, is loose. He's old and doesn't have good spacial awareness or anal feline hygiene, anymore. And I am literally cleaning shit specks off the walls and floors and wherever else. Ain't pretty, that's for sure. Frankly, gross. And he had another bath today because late morning vet appts do not agree with his gustation. There was cat bathing. And laundry again.

PLEASE let the sooperspecial probiotics work.

ita, you should have slipped him your number. Or a discardable email or something.

Back from a hell of a visit to the in laws. My MiL is doing really well, even with a broken wrist, sprained knee and broken shoulder. We managed to ease her out to dinner at her favorite place and a lovely time was had by all.

After dinner, my SiL (a nurse) diagnosed my DH's leg, which has been hurting him all week and is a bit swollen. We both thought it was related to his recent bout of airline travel. This morning, we managed to convince him to go to the ER and after four hours there we found out he has deep vein thrombosis (his is a blood clot behind his knee). It can kill ya, but luckily his was caught early. SiL is the head ER nurse, so we got treated like freaking royalty, which was helpful, as the DH has lot of doctor anxiety.

He has to take blood thinners for six months, plus I have to inject him with SUPER blood thinners twice a day for a week. He will have to go the docs every few days to have his blood tested for a while. Scary. We drove home and are now kinda collapsed and I am about to google DVT like a maniac.

ita, how far did you go? Isn't the 2D playing at the Landmark?

So...Buffista couples. Own up. What would you look like if Graham Norton read your texts with your SO on international TV. Cute? Embarrassing? Offensive?

Pete has sent me one text. Ever. I would really like a steak & veg pie. Enough to text.

Yikes! Glad you caught it, Scrappy!

ita, there will be other movies you need to seek out in 2-D. You and your FH will cross paths several more times, narrowly missing each other, before finally being thrown together by some amusing coincidence.

Oh, poor Scrappy's DH! So glad you guys caught it.

A lot of them would be very boring and logistical did-you-remember type texts. Many pictures of cute pets. Some are amusing out of context: "Will do. Have fun bouncing today."

I went to the Rave. Before AMC Century City got really nice, I used to see movies there all the time. They pretty much have all nice screens. So I picked them over the Landmark. Though I forgot you have to pay for parking, which takes the shine off pre-noon prices. So maybe not again.

Well, I can tell which ones he's going to see because I was totally staring during previews, so maybe I'll just have to see them multiple times.

Ack, Scrappy! Drama!

I am so hydrated. My veins better be good tonight, fuck it.

So, I stumbled upon something that claimed to be women's #3 sex fantasy. So I decided to look at lists thereof. Wow, writing about women's sexuality is pretty damned bad in the mainstream. So apologetic and splainy.

Aww. Graham Norton picked a relationship in his audience and read the couple's text messages and they were so insanely sweet. They called each other pickle and angel and honeypuff in just about every message, and signed off with "xx."

Those two were, indeed, maxadorable. And Graham was sweet to them at a point where he could have played for the gagging jokes. Instead, it seemed like he really wished he was somebody's honeypuff.

eta: plus, hadn't they been together for some surprisingly long period of time? I remember thinking, 'good on 'em for keeping the romance alive.'
