Oh my god, lisah. The whole thing is so awful and murky. I didn't know you knew him, I'm so sorry.

This is the story [link] Not a lot of info to go on.

This city sometimes....

Double crown appointment at 1. I swam hopped up on a pot of coffee and sudafed (my stupid mild congestion this summer leads to sneezing, which is something I'd like to avoid when they are carving up my teeth with sharp things,) have acquired bananas and tossed them into the freezer, ate a bowl of yogurt and blueberries and am hoping that will hold me until I'm able to eat again today. Fun times.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

In much less important news, I got to spend 20 minuted this morning taking rocks out of the garbage disposal, because Bubba decided that the bamboo plant and the rock filled planter it was in my parents gave me as a house warming present would look better upside down in the sink.

Cats, man. Pumpkin just bounced off my shoulder because I had the temerity to no know she was making a leap to the sink. She's expressing her ire by walking up to Devi, who is SLEEPING in her cube, and hissing at her. She's being ignored.

I'm making sure I'm properly hydrated (I normally consume multiple liters of water throughout the day and won't be able to for the rest of the afternoon) and now I'm fearing I might need pee breaks. Oops.

At least with Bubba, breaking things is not followed by a trip to the vet, the way it tended with Perkins.

He also hasn't set himself on fire yet, so that's a plus.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good god, motherfuckers. I just spent forever looking for the Word document with the steps we have to go through in order to spin up a new public web site (currently 28, in case you're counting). It's a gddamned Excel spreadsheet because I got lazy and wanted to use conditional formatting to colour code my resource name...

Seriously! 28 steps! At least 3 weeks, and that doesn't include any of the time it actually takes to make anything. I tried to make a cross functional flowchart, but it soon gained sentience and broke free. As soon as it had a clear shot for the elevator, the chase was over. So back to Excel it is. It's very pretty.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

The police haven't made any arrests and I am not sure they even have any suspects. It happened in a, for Baltimore, relatively safe part of town. There is a vigil tonight and I think I will go. For what it's worth. It is all just so senseless and sad.

Jesus, I'm sorry.

Ha. I'm gonna say 28 steps is too many steps.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh goodness, lisah, how awful. And Liese and Scrappy, I'm so sorry for your losses.

I'm terrified we may have bedbugs. That's what I posted about and then freaked out about and then deleted. I have done the research and know the signs, and we don't have many of them, but I've been getting bites every night. Calling an exterminator today and praying it's fleas or spiders. I slept in the guest bed last night and didn't get bitten.

Yikes, Pix.

I was in a hotel two nights last week and now I have odd itchy little bumps on my left hand. They must be bites, but I'm pretty sure they're not bedbug bites. So annoying.

Sympathies to Liese and lisah and Scrappy. {{Buffistas}}
