Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Connie, my take on your cat question is, it is more important that your cat be comfortable as an only cat who will have a fair bit of alone time rather than the amount of space. There are some cats who really want to be more social than a single adult human with a full-time job can satisfy, and some who would be very happy with that. The key to keeping an indoor cat happy and healthy is environmental enrichment. Jackson Galaxy calls this "Catification" - co-wrote a book by that title, you might be able to get it from the library. There are a ton of ways to keep a cat entertained in modest-sized spaces. A good bird-watching window helps. There are more toys than you could shake a stick at - though come to think of it, sticks to shake can be part of the toy scheme... Cat towers, cat shelves, etc etc.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Your apartment was a whole 196 square feet?

Yes! That includes the foyer where I kept my refrigerator on a moving dolly.

It sounds like everyone has had a rough sort of day so, hugs to all that need them in honor of the msbelle-iriffic National Hug Day.

I had Girl Scouts today. I cancelled last week because could not deal. The big problem is that in my previous job, I could leave early on Wednesday which is our meeting day and run errands. New job? NSM.

Anyhow, my feet hurt and I feel done.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I remember that apartment! That apartment is where I met NYistas!

Late to the conversation, but I am named for the second first lady of the United States (hopefully enough to identify me to anyone on FB). And, in my favorite fact about myself to share: I am basically ungoogleable because I share a name with a participant in the Salem Witch Trials, and, more recently, a character in Hannibal. I believe that I would answer to "Debet" in real life, but I don't really know.

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

Hugs and vibes all around.

The heat in my office wasn't working today which lead to having a guy on a ladder with his head in the HVAC in there for much of the evening. My view was primarily of how his pants fit.

I hope everyone got the hugs they wanted. Franny says that all the girls were giving each other hugs.
