The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jesse, I hope Homer is OK!
Me too!
I also hope the headhunter call goes well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, y'all!
This conversation is reminding me that I want a new large skillet for those times when you want to brown more than 2 pieces at once (my cast iron, she rocks but she is only 10 in diameter).
I got my mother a huge frying pan for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it is kind of great. It mostly lives in the attic, but when she wants to use it, it's super handy. And huge.

I woke up this morning to my cat puking blood. Yikes.
Jesse, was it a lot of blood? Or blood tinged bile? Isn't he on meds? Years ago, Pico starting vomiting blood while on antibiotics and it was because his stomach was irritated. I had to start giving him antacids before he got his meds.
(And Clio sometime throws up bloody bile after eating grass. I guess that irritates her stomach.)

I think it was just blood-tinged, but the meds he is on are totally for his stomach! So now I think maybe it's the B12 shots that helped him and less the steroids, because I've been giving him steroids at home, but not B12. He's been fine for a month until this weekend. We'll see! Bleh.

Because books.
I hope Homer's okay, Jesse. Poor old guy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hope Homer's all right! Blood stays inside you, kitty.
I need new pans too. I usually buy them a piece at a time from Marshalls or TJMaxx. I like the ceramic nonstick ones.

I love my Dutch oven, although I can't remember the brand. Most of my other pots are pretty cut-rate, although my cast-iron skillet is seasoning nicely.
Happy birthday, Lee!
I had scheduled a meeting on Friday for today but half the attendees are out of the office, so I've rescheduled it for next week, yay. And it's an extra-short week for me because I have my regular Friday off, and tomorrow my sister & I take the day off to tour eldercare facilities.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEE!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Warp Drive May Be More Feasible Than Thought, Scientists Say
White and his colleagues have begun experimenting with a mini version of the warp drive in their laboratory.
They set up what they call the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer at the Johnson Space Center, essentially creating a laser interferometer that instigates micro versions of space-time warps.
"We're trying to see if we can generate a very tiny instance of this in a tabletop experiment, to try to perturb space-time by one part in 10 million," White said.
He called the project a "humble experiment" compared to what would be needed for a real warp drive, but said it represents a promising first step.
Awesome! Also, I am in the wrong line of work.
