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

Somebody sent me a live cypress tree for Xmas. Is this thing poisonous to cats? I doubt he would have thought about that.

List of plants poisonous to cats.

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

Okay, it doesn't appear on any list of Toxic to Cats that I can find, but I'm still a little nervous about it. I don't want this thing badly enough to risk my cats' health. I don't want it at all, really. It's got little ornaments and lights... maybe I'll Freecycle it. Hope he doesn't want a photo.

I'm just baffled that he sent this to me. He's known me for 16 years and surely knows I've never put up a tree. Not that I don't like them, I do, but we always go to my sister's (big) house for the holidays and she has a tree, and I don't want to deal with the mess. I already had to vacuum, just from taking it out of the box. Damn. "Don't give people live presents," isn't that the rule?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Make it an outdoor tree, much easier to care for.

There is a species of Cypress that is poisonous:

see?

So pretty much any plant you can think of, minus kale or coffee beans?

This says it's a European Cypress. It smells good. But I'm starting to get allergy symptoms. I think the Universe is telling me to get the tree out of the house.

I'd plant it, but the directions say plant it in the Spring. Jeepers. I may plant it anyway, and let it take its chances.

Your mom's or your sister's?

My mother using a computer would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse. It was my sister's computer, which apparently hadn't been talking to the ATT e-mail server since May. Then we had a drama when she wouldn't give me her password so I could set up her account again.

It will probably live in your climate, Zenkitty, although you might want to cover it if there's a 20-degree forecast in the next month.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I'm not coughing as much, but I seem to have caught a stomach bug. I had to pull over at a gas station on my way home from campus because I had to throw up. I bought a big bag of pretzels while I was there, because I'm pretty sure that the quinoa and kale stew that I was planning to have for dinner would not be the best choice.

I put the thing outside in a pot and watered it. If I ever get the energy to dig a damn hole in the ground, I might plant it.
