Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes, I am playing a video of a pet fountain as part of my research for a water dish for the cats. Don't judge me, I'm trying to figure out if it will be annoyingly noisy.

What I really want is one that will send an alarm to my smartphone if it runs out of water...

I am onerous tasking! Who's with me? I have paid bills, assembled documents to register Casper for high school (!!!) next week, called the pediatrician to request proof of immunization and schedule the 2nd HPV shot for her, and vaccuumed. And done two loads of laundry and one sink of dishes.

I am working really hard not to be overwhelmed by the stuff in my house, which I feel I should make steps towards dealing with today. And I forgot to send in the after-school activity registration forms that were due today, so I am not a total rock star.

Oh my goodness, that would be nice.

I should make an appointment with the vet, get the cat's checkups started. Not really onerous, but i forgot all last week, so maybe i'll get that done today. Also work, of course, which is full of onerous tasks.

Wait, what? Uh uh.

The passage of time gobsmacks me again.

I had the glimmer of an idea last night as I was trying to fall asleep. We know how fast we are moving through time, it's always one second per second, so if Heisenberg applies we can never know where we are temporally.

I don't know what to do with it, but I like it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I woke up early, am coffee'd, and getting ready for a full day of freelance work, then the gym this evening.

Oh, and a phone call to get some shit straightened out -- I've made one call and one in-store visit, and I never heard back from them, and it's been 4 weeks. I'm not going to be nice.

No, that can't be right.

So I may be re-confirming that oatmeal does not work for me as breakfast, since I'm already starting to think about lunch, and it's not even 11!

The (excellent, nationally ranked) magnet high school in our fair city starts in 7th grade. (They do keep 7th and 8th grades a little apart in their own wing.) She's shadowing on Thursday, and registration is next week.

I also recently had The Talk that every mother has to have with her growing daughter at some point. No, not THAT talk ... the Leggings Are Not Pants talk.

Punishingly Intricate

My oatmeal usually works for me but not today! And mine was all tricked out with ground flax, chia seed/pom juice mix, and an apple.
