Amazing to think she's gone from whispering 'mama' to water and bowties and stuff since November. I'm already missing TG this year, but hopefully will pop by for 24 hours or so on the Australia trip.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Hah. Kat tried to convince me kids are not a helpful gift with purchase. Or something. :)
Also, how the hell do you LA people not go on murderous sprees more often due to the traffic? Because seriously.
However that meant I got to hear ALL of NPR, and find out that 80 year old Senator Lugar runs a 5k as fast as I do (apparently neither of us are "breaking land speed records", per NPR). Jim Thune, however, managed to run one in 19 minutes. I don't even get that. How?!?

I didn't find the traffic in LA nearly as annoying as DC and Baltimore. They follow rules in LA! They know what a merge is! Sure, the volume is insane and slow, but people are polite!

That cat video is awesome.
meara, there are reasons I don't live in LA. The traffic is definitely one of them.
I'm on a downswing: between my parents & the job situation, I'm just unable to summon any forward momentum. It's hard to get anything done in the office while I wait, endlessly, to see if I'm ever going to get re-hired.
Although at least I'm getting my $600 back. Woot.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
lisah, I'm sorry about Swifty.

A 6-minute mile is not unheard-of, especially if you're built for it. (I entertain vague fantasies of achieving an 8:45/mile race pace, because I am not built for speed on foot.)
I just shampooed my carpets, so my cat decided it would be a perfect time to puke all over them. Thank you, Damien.

You and I named them well, we did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I were a vet, I would have a pet name disclaimers. I wouldn't treat any of them who behaved true to their names. So when Loki there, sara, gives birth to a plenty-legged horse, He's all on his own. Should he want to give birth kittens that's fine. Running and being dangerous (nope). Periods of sulking? I might wanna look into that.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
You're fine with a male cat giving birth to kittens?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think Loki switches genders occasionally. Possibly he was also a horse? Or gave birth to a horse?
