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

Keep on packing, Lee!

I skipped a whole bunch of posts. I am sulking because someone smashed the back window of my car.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Augh, bastards did not come get the moving boxes. PLEASE COME TAKE THESE BOXES, YOU BASTARDS.

Replied, Lee.

Ugh! That happened to my husband (before he was my husband) when we were in college. It's a hell of a way to be woken up.

Yep. I hadn't driven since Thursday. I'm just lucky I went to drive it today and noticed it. It's supposed to rain tonight.

It's at a dealership now, so at least it's indoors. Anyone have experience going to a place that specialized in auto glass? Are there some to avoid because they use substandard glass? If the dealer estimate is too expensive, I may have to shop around, as GEICO will pay a maximum of $421 (minus a $50 deductible).

GEICO has an arrangement with Safeway Auto Glass, but they're not conveniently located for me.

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

I had the window in my passenger door replaced by a specialized place - they were great and I never had any problems, but it was a local shop and not even in business any more, so, not terribly helpful.

But I sympathize! I've had my car windows broken a couple of times (when I owned a convertible, so I was just, the top UNZIPS if you want to steal my battery that badly, c'mon thieves) and that's an awful feeling when you walk up ready to drive off and see bits of glass everywhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Tommy! That sucks.

Speaking of gender, I was just reading a book from 1982 where a transgender hooker gets killed, and the cops never called her "him." And the cops aren't the most sensitive and enlightened people, and the book was written 30 years ago. It just made me wonder where we've gone wrong.

So my grandmother's funeral was great, there were a ton of people there, and a LOT of them came back to the house. It was great to see a lot of relatives who came from out of town. There was one weirdo from my parents' church who said something weird and/or somewhat nasty every time she passed me, but I guess that's not a bad record.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's lovely.

I've had good luck with specialty glass.

Glad the funeral went well, Jesse.

AND we made additional progress in distributing stuff. It's so interesting to see who wants what.

Bigass storm rolling in from the south. Local news websites wtih weather radar are fun, I was able to compare the darkening clouds out my window with the color change on the computer screen.
