My CSA pumpkin-opening kit is a santoku knife and a wooden rolling pin. (A Chinese vegetable cleaver and a rubber mallet would probably work even better, but I don't have those things in my kitchen.)
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Our plan involved the concrete garage floor.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That blog post pretty much ensures that I won't try to get into any discussions about gender identity just because I have no idea what term might be a land mine. The only trans person I know (in meat-space) uses the blogger's hated term all the time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Time to research squirrel repellant. Does such a thing exist? Stupid little squirrel both wants to hang in my outside storage room and wants to mock the not-so-smart Puppycat. Squirrel's also not really scared of me. It's not YOUR territory to defend, Squirrel, it's mine.

Um, my neighbor uses some sort of powder in her yard to try to protect her bulbs. I'll ask next time I see her. It's non-toxic but they hate the smell. Loki doesn't seem to mind it (and I can't smell it.)

Anything they hate, cats don't mind and I don't notice sounds perfect.

Cass I've used a combo of cat hair and moth balls in a mesh bag. Works pretty well. I used cheap-ass moth balls from the dollar store and just combed the cats, so it's inexpensive too.

To dye my hair tonight or not?
Tomorrow is more straightening up and mani-pedi and keys and and and. I guess I should. Not like I am going to bed before it would be done.
