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

Hil, I hope you're feeling better today.

I took care of some onerous tasks this morning, mostly updating the expiration date for my credit card on various auto-payments. I'm waiting to hear back from my uncle about when the services are for my grandfather. The death notice wasn't in the paper today. I appreciate the support, but there is absolutely no way I can skip the services, nor would I really want to. I'll figure it all out.

Much see-it-through~ma for you, sj; it's a tough position to be in.

I've expanded my yard and I've got lots of kittehs. I bought the cowboy hat and got Billy the Kitten. So cute--he wears it, but all the other kitties sit in it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

sj, I'm sorry about your grandfather, and I hope you can work out getting there with a minimum of trouble.

Hil, I hope you feel better today. Panic attacks are no joke.

I've slipped back into spending too much on stuff I don't need. Gotta get hold of that. That's what happens when I get depressed and anxious.

Thanks, everyone. It would help if someone would get back to me about what day the services are going to be so that TCG can put in for time off before the end of his work day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

sj, I'm so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.

I will say, though, that they might not yet know when the services are. When I had to plan Rob's funeral, the date changed three times because people who needed to be there couldn't. They're not trying to inconvenience you, even though it means things are in limbo for just a bit longer.

In other - completely unrelated news - North Korea has announced it has a real unicorn lair. It says so out front.

I'm pretty sure they met with the funeral home last night. They're just notoriously bad communicators. My uncle will call me tonight I was just hoping to give TCG more notice.

ltc was fussy and wouldn't nap this morning. So, I over caffeinated, and now she's asleep and I'm anxious.

Zenkitty, I've been spending too much lately too. I don't get out of the house much anymore, but my internet spending is out of control.

Cat collecting! Thought of you guys while reading this article and finally downloaded the app. [link]

Question: when I open the app, it brings me to the shop right away. Do I have to spend money? Because it didn't give me a lot of other options how to start. I closed the app and will deal with it later.

No, because you start out with some fish in your wallet. And when the cats come by they leave you more. Also the cheapy chow is free. You'll need to put some food out to get things going.
