And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have extra Buffista coolness, because I spent the day with Betsy! We had a lovely time: drove to the coast through beautiful windy mountains, had lunch in Pescadero, and hit all the quaint little shops there. And a goat farm, which had awesome cheeses. And then she showed me her rooted Kindle, which looks interesting.

And now I am home and disinclined to cook. So I'm drinking a margarita and roasting a couple of beets and in an hour or so I will have a beet-and-goat-cheese salad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I'm going to try harder to shove it into his mouth. I'm guessing if I can figure out how to do it, he'll get used to it. I watched videos online, but it looks so easy there!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got much closer to getting the pill into his mouth, but eventually it went flying, so I got a new one and tried it in a treat again, and he just ate it! So maybe if I traumatize him enough first, he doesn't notice that the treat is dosed. Whatever, cat.

I would really like to preemptively apologize for the amount of whining and crying I'm going to do here about my not-very-sick cat and my as-easy-as-possible move.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I likewise apologize for whining about this show, but I Cannot Sew Any More. I am never doing a show without a stitcher again.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

A health reform quiz from Kaiser. I have answered 10 out of 10 which is better than 99.6% of others who have taken it. Keep in mind, I know enough about the law, but not comprehensively. [link] Are people stupid? (I know the answer to that).

Oh, that sounds marvelous, Suela.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Are people stupid? (I know the answer to that).

All that talk about death panels and hurting small business sure paid off for the anti-health-care faction. It's terrifying how many people got those questions wrong.
