I ran into the head of IT with his kittens today. Was my last chance to see them before he took them home. He was such an adorable doof about them "I know the little one is going to be trouble. [to me] Aw, thanks for the earrrubs. They like your nails!"

I think this means no more kittens in the office for a bit (these were part of two litters that had to be handraised the past few weeks. And since the head of IT is the boss of the woman fostering them, they came to work with her.)

I have to say, I see such small kittens and while adorable, omg, kittens. So,.much.work.

I have bent and have AC. Installing it was a sweaty mess, which is proof it is necessary. But it cools down monday, and I can go back to outside air. And I really need a casement AC for the small room. The unit I have its basic and basically handless that room only. A casement could put out more.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

One of these days I'll get a floral cooler. From, you know, one of the many florists going out of buisiness. My current situation is in the basement, where I have to ask the two tenants to close the laundry room door when they put the dryer on so they don't fry my flowers, and rely on the residual AC to keep the flowers until Saturday. We're so professional!

Stood in line for a bottle of wine. New guy at the register floundering about what to do about my lack of id. Then floundering because my purchase is double stamped and won't scan. Line keeps backing up behind me and no one seems to care about resolving that or my own issue. Not shopping there again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's already back wearing his tux. I think he'll wear it about four times before prom, including going to pick Matilda up from school tomorrow.

Also, he decided that tux pants are very butt flattering, so he took a selfie of his bum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Make sure to ask him if they are space pants.... because his ass is out of this world!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

And no, when it comes to breeding, nurture is definitely not stronger than nature. I am not an alarmist, and I know some sweet pits, but just remember how often you've read the stories about the child or person who was mauled where the owner says, "the dog was always so gentle. We can't believe this happened!"

Yeah, my cousin had a sweet, affectionate rottweiler that had been raised with love and well-trained, but would snap if startled. She once had to use a fallen limb to keep the dog from killing another family pet that triggered her chase instinct. And at my best friend's wedding I had to restrain his German shepherd from attacking the bride's little brother. Just because a dog is gentle and loving with people it considers family doesn't mean it'll behave the same way toward strangers.

Boo on ita's parents not communicating.

Loki is sleeping on my mac's power converter thing. I get it in winter, but a source of warmth really isn't indicated right now...

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

I think we're at "Oh, that's not so bad, right?" Which is pretty much defcon baby bears around our house. Grump.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Puppycat hangs out on my Time Capsule. It has warms. Which is ridiculous given how hot it is here but she loves her some warms.
