OMG, my mother just gave me the saddest children's book about a dead cat! How could anyone ever read that to a child? I don't think I could have gotten through it even before my cat was dead. Edit: this one [link]
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I had use it or lose it time to burn, so I took today off. It's been nice.

Except for the horrible your cat is dead book!
Ack!
The DVDs I got from the library include: 1 Pinky and the Brain, 2 Looney Tunes and 1 NCIS. This is all good to watch on days when you want to do nothing, right?

I left all of 25 minutes before I was supposed to. I am now making chocolate chip cookies to take to dinner. I should have just done this last night. (I can make them in my sleep.)

I just turned on the space heater in the kid's room. It's 63 degrees in there. CHILLY!

But it's so good! I mean, terribly sad, but really good. I would recommend it for a kid with a dead cat. Except for all the crying.

Ah. Bibliotherapy at its finest.
I'm backing up my computer again. It took hours last time (20 days ago). I wonder how long it will take this time? Should be shorter, yes?

Yikes, that's too close to home, Jesse. What were you thinking, Jesse's Mom?
I did see that after the St. Bernard died, my sister printed out an email I'd sent her several years ago, with the text of that Rudyard Kipling poem, the one with the line "never give your heart to a dog to tear".
In other news, I have a working washing machine again! And my new Kindle arrived! I splurged after Christmas and bought myself a Paperwhite, and it's so wee and light! I love it already.
