Last night Gray Cat sprawled on the patio table and watched the fireworks, calm as could be. I haven't seen anything scare him yet. Except plastic bags. But those scare everybody.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, you need to consider this: [link]
Because, seriously.
OMG seriously.
Could have slept more, but I'm feeling normal again. I will bring a bottle of water out with me today...

Not Toke. She chews on them (but doesn't actually ingest any plastic -- we've checked) and rolls around them like it's the kitty equivalent of satin sheets.
But we've established long ago that that cat ain't right in the head.

Oh yeah, my cat is a BIG FAN of plastic bags.

Art Crawl!!!
I've been camping out in the a/c at a friend's house since Tuesday night.
Back at work today.
My poor kitty has probably spent most of the past several days lounging in the bath tub. That is apparently the coolest place in my apartment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Any time the 20 oz of coffee I just drank wants to kick in would be JUST SWELL.

I asked my boss for permission to do a thing we're not supposed to do but people do anyway. I said in the first line of my email, "I want to correct this online but the print version already exists". She replied, "go on and do it! But it's not in print, right?" DAMMIT WOMAN. Should I just go on and do it? If she can misread my emails, I can "misread" hers, right? No one will ever even notice! GOD.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So many rockets and explosions right outside my house well past midnight, argh. Still got up at 5:30 to run.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh subconscious, why so annoying.
last night's dream: my parents, specifically my father, get involved with an adoption group (nothing that exists in real life) that is some mandatory thing and that I am not up to date on reports for (I am in true life months late on a report) and starts action at a public meeting against me. I do what I can at the meeting to turn in items I can produce on the spot, but I can see groundwork being laid to have me stripped of parental rights. So, I do the only logical thing and immediately go underground. [why thank you crazy mystery and intrigue books/tv-shows for so thoroughly preparing my brain for these dreams] Public computer terminals, burner phones, friends clearing out my house of essentials, massive password and username changes, and a fast car sale/new purchase cash deal all happen in one night. Then the Buffistas take over, I have out-of-state lawyers set up a something to pay off my house and transfer ownership to the entity who them rents it to people I know. I have a network of safehouses, I have a network of people to forward my mail to that shifts every month or two, and I have tech people helping me not to erase me online, but to remove some info and set up new communication lines that cannot be linked to the other identity. crazycakes dream, but my takeaway is, we could hide the bodies, should we need to.
