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

Oh, what Col. Mustard would give for a power drill.

Oh! The lady with the rabbits was out in her yard again, so I told her I might what to adopt one and she gave me her e-mail address to follow up. They're all getting fixed and then need to recover, and then maybe I will have a rabbit.

51 spindles are primed on all 4 sides within an inch of the edges. 2 are done on 3 sides only due to space issues. [link]

Loki love-bit my face when I was down on the floor trying to reach some impossible spot. Pumpkin jumped on my back. Helpful, cats, helpful. At least no one got painted tonight.

My wrists are MAD. Which I understand the paintbrush hand, nsm the other.

God, I'm zoned out. Methodical tasks do that to me.

I'm wary of looking into more of the Ft. Hood thing. I know that base too well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've been playing the Twin Peaks edition of 2048. I can't seem to get beyond the Log Lady. Any guesses as to the remaining three characters? I think Pete or Dr. Jacoby, Dancing Man, and Bob. Or maybe Diane?

Why does painting hurt so much? If the strongest painkiller I have possession of didn't knock me on my ass, I'd take it.

Instead, I'll stick with otcs and whine a lot.

Oooof. It's the crouching to paint, sara. But the spindles look great.

When N&G were born, there was another family there with twin preemies of roughly the same the size and issues, Juliana and John. Juliana is at N&G's school because our school is the only one with a special day class and Juliana needs it, while John continued to go to his regular neighborhood school.

Noah plays baseball with a teacher at that school's son. The teacher asked if our school was doing anything for Juliana (which prompted a what? why?). Over spring break, John had to be hospitalized and died due to a respiratory issue.

I just can't.

What tragedy to have your child survive so much and then... not. I don't even know what to think.

Because books.

Oh, Kat. That's awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, that's so sad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow. Very sad.

ION, we've talked about how to boil eggs more than once, right?

Use Less Water and Rely on Steam for Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs

The steam stays at a constant 212F, while adding eggs to a bunch of boiling water cools the water which adds to the time it takes to cook. The more eggs you add, the longer it will take to cook them all, making it hard to get the time right.

I'm not even sure what a soft boiled egg is like!

Kat, that's awful! Poor family, that's a lot of stress.
