Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The cousin who was supposed to house/dog sit for the ten days I'm in Morocco just flaked.

I am trying to not freak very very hard. I leave in less than a week. My house is a pit. I am not packed. There are a million things to do including purchase a camera and make my hair non-blue AND NOW I HAVE TO DROP EVERYTHING AND FIND SOMEONE TO WATCH THE DOG.

Trudy, can you google for a pet-sitting service with bonded/recommended employees?

Punishingly Intricate

Check to see if any of the folks at your vet petsit? A couple of the techs at mine do and they are my back ups if my regular pet sitters are unavailable.

Alas, the cousin was a deeply budget option. She is just graduating college and she and the boyfriend were going to have a little privacy in the city.

Fortunately, I have other cousins. And know lots of broke actors. Just need to not stress out...

msbelle, thank you. I can't really do that since she is one of my FB friends. Oy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The cold meds are not doing a good job.

Holy crap, problem solved! That was FAST.

A friend of mine can do it! She's a peach. I could not be happier. Oh thank goodness!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

False alarm! Got a tiny raise retroactive to January.
