Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Juliebird, definitely say no and then send a signed dated letter after checking the local laws in your area that a minimum of 24 hours notice is required and that either you or your landlord will have to be there for each entry. That is what we had to do when a landlord was trying to sell a place we lived in.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How scary, Connie. So glad everyone is safe. I can't imagine not wearing a helmet on a scooter, seems like an unnecessary risk.

BTW I love how many buffistae have a litter room in the house. Our back bathroom has basically been given over to the litter box as well.

Grace has a fever. I am worried that she has pneumonia. I realize it's 3AM, but I can't get back to sleep, while I wait for her pulse and temp to go down.

Our wings are not tired.

Poor boo, and poor you. Do you have one of those fingertip things to check her oxygen level?

Laura, yes. She wears it when she sleeps, in case she has a mucous plug and her 02 falls. Were it not for the monitor, we'd all be asleep.

I hope the fever responds quickly and that you can all get some rest. That whole breathing thing, not overrated.

Note to self: remember to check that you are wearing pants before your 10am Google Hangout with professional collaborators.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope you got some sleep, Kat, and that Grace is better this morning.

And I hope you remember to wear pants, flea.

I'm going to try to bake eggs in the microwave with salsa and sour cream. That seems like it should work.

Grace's respiration is down to below 100 which is good. More ibuprofen today in the hopes that we can keep this abated.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If it is pneumonia, may you figure it out quickly, Kat. One of the things I have observed about that nasty beast is that it can hide so effectively.
