t Whine

Did too much lifting/moving things at work. Forarms and legs are tired. Need to do lifting/moving things at home for packing. Ow. Don't wanna. Blargh. Where are my house elves! I promise to give them clothing if they promise to help me around the house.

Oh man, I just heard one of my former students just got out of the hospital: he had gone next door to his partying neighbors to tell them to keep it down (he and his wife, another former student, have a young baby). As he was turning to leave, four guys jumped him and beat him with a 2x4 and stabbed him 9 times. But he survived: none of the stabs hit an organ. So scary.

Fuck. Next time just call the cops on them, okay?

That's crazy cakes. Will those guys be prosecuted for attacking him?

Well, the cops have two out of the four, the other two are still out there somewhere. It's hard to say what kind of justice will come down; it's on the reservation (Wyoming) pretty deep, I think, so jurisdiction will be a question.

WTF, Steph, that's weird! But yeah, it will probably not be an issue at all, but I'm still glad you know ahead of time.

Tim, OTOH, wishes Best Friend hadn't told him. His reasoning (rather like sticking his fingers in his ears and going "lalalalala!") is that he *probably* would never have run in to her, and therefore if he was never going to run in to her, then he didn't need to know she was there.

I still think that it's much more likely that we're going to run in to her, because that's just how this neighborhood is. But I understand his desire to stick his head in the sand.

Oh Liese, how awful. I hope he can recover swiftly.

Anna used to drag socks around, meowing while she had them in her mouth. It was more like merfing sound the way it worked out. But she would find the socks and move them to where I had been.

Noodle used to do this. The great sock hunter seems to have grown out of her sock obsession though. I kinda miss it.

I love it when cats meow while carrying things.

My cat loves to sing the blues. All the time. . . ALL THE TIME.

Liese, that is horrible. I hope he recovers and I wish that he and his family could find someplace safer to stay.

Liese, how terrifying!

Oh Liese, how awful!

Liese, that situation is so scary I don't rally know how to think about it. ~ma for healing and peace for him and his family, and safety and justice.
