Suzi, so often parents are the worst.

I have had a ton of time off in the past 10 days (last friday was Admittance Day, then labor day and today is Rosh Hashannah) but I do wish we had cooler weather. Days off when it's a 100 degrees out blow. But it is compelling me to grade, which is good.

I want a Siamese kitty.

That kitty is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't believe he is a stray!

When we were kids, my mom rescued a gorgeous show Siamese who got dumped at my school after she had something crinkle her tail and wreck her "career"

Yeah, he puts the rest of the alley cats to shame in terms of appearance, and also seems much more devoted to cleaning himself. Sadly, his twin has gone missing (along with an all-black kitten from the same litter, plus the one I know has died).

Timelies all!

Aw, kitty...

You guys, I cannot recommend living in a community highly enough. I just called the florist to order flowers for my grandmother's funeral, and she asked what I had in mind, and I just said to coordinate with whatever my mother ordered already, because I knew we were calling the same place.

Ugh. I decided that a little bit of this "kettle corn" wouldn't count against anything...

FUCKING ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS.

My head hurts so bad.

But I drew a picture of me having a headache and gave it to the guy who gave me the cursed corn, so I think he'll remember that particular trigger.

I love his critique of my art--"Kinda abstract--if you look at each line, you're all 'what the hell?' but when you put it together, it's all there! One wrinkle more would have been too much. Well, one nostril is a bit off, but impressive nonetheless."

That's the kind of feedback I need on deviantArt.

I'm doing just one day of no carbs because of my PET scan tomorrow, and I want to punch a wall.

and the fluffy little gray kitten of indeterminate gender.

I dub him Stiles. Stiles is totally a boy but he's coded female to an extent and he's fluffy.
