I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I have a video interview via computer in 2 minutes. My super-friendly cat is all over me. At least it's librarian-stereotypical? Attempting to distract him with a glass of water on the floor.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I woke up at 4, fell back to sleep at some point, and then woke up again 6:30ish when TCG got up for work.

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

Good luck, flea!

I'll have to make do with chicken eggs and goose eggs like a chump.

You'll eat scrambled chump and you'll like it!

You're not the boss of me!

But you are correct. I will.

Actually, I'm thinking goose egg souffle tonight. There will be duck eggs again someday.

Meanwhile - I need to find out who has the "I aim to misbehave" bumper sticker on their car and if they know what it's from.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why is it only Wednesday, or maybe I mean how? This week has already been much too long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, flea! Can you put the cat in another room, or would that lead to yowling?

No shootings up here in the Adirondacks, but escaped convicts are around somewhere.

Oh god, the first time I heard that story on the radio, they called it a "daring escape." Excuse me?? I thought we were trying not to glamorize criminals anymore??

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Caffeine is not working. Sleep would be so fantastic right now. And I slept well last night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

FiL report from last night is that he has a couple more days in the hospital to help ensure that the reattachments stick. They are worried he might lose more fingers. I am feeling pretty sure he won't. This man has been through more dire accidents than anyone else I know, and he tends to land on his feet. But any and all ~ma for a healthy recovery and keeping the rest of his hand is quite welcome. I imagine Cody will be spending a lot of time there this summer helping him recuperate.

Closer to home, poor Franny is still feverish. Woke up this am with her fever already at 102.5, poor noodle. I texted my sister to see if she thinks a doctor visit is in order, but I'm tending that way even if she says wait another day. Because if it's already at 102.5, how high is it going to get this afternoon, which is when her fevers usually peak?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I feel like "daring escape" ought to involve flying over prison walls in an improvised hot air balloon.

Suspect brandishing a shotgun sounds like better justification for a police shooting than, well, any incidents since Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
