Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know how Facebook will suggest weird and/or inappropriate friends for you sometimes? It just suggested a guy I used to date, and not that I want to be FB friends with him, but I'm glad to see he moved to New York! So now I don't have to think about it. Not that I think about him a lot, but every once in a while.

Mnahrg. Rolled out of bed with just 30 minutes to spare. Market in drippy, drippy rain, now applying coffee and then errands and swim shoehorned in early before storms.

Coffee hasn't started working yet. My 4 am first wake didn't help.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet(and wet) weekend here. No plans beyond getting food.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I was able to fit in cat walking and the farmers market before today's forecast thunderstorms. For the first time in two weeks it's not supposed to go over 90F! I'm gonna open the windows, at least on the leeward side. And there were sungold tomatoes at market--yum.

So Hazel's been puking up a little liquid every couple of days. Worth calling the vet over?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Loafing on the couch, watching Matilda work on a craft project that has been disgracefully neglected for far too long, a cigar-box bedroom for Arrietty. It's coming along beautifully (there will be pictures). Later on, after she's reached a good stopping place, she has promised to give me a makeover (there may or may not be pictures). And Hec just coffeed me and got iTunes up and rolling with Vince Guaraldi. It's a very good morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My living room has a ceiling fan, and the motion of the fan keeps jiggling the light bulbs out of place. I tried to get them back in, but they keep just barely making contact and lighting for a second, then going dark again.

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

Waking to Vince Guaraldi is an excellent morning! I woke to wishing I was either still asleep or that I hadn't been awakened last night. oh well. There will be coffee soon.

How do Hazel's eyes look, Jesse? Do you suspect it's hairballs?

Her eyes seem fine? I don't think it's hairballs, but what do I actually know? She's not shedding much.

Yeah, okay, I am not helpful, am I? Sorry. When my cats have been sick, they're eyes looked sick, but maybe I"m a bad mom who waits too long before taking her pets to the vet.
