I think cat watching may have just gone long-term.

At least he's not much of a problem (don't ask the resident cats, though.)

Why is it that people have to have crises when the weather is awful? Why can't we deal with this on a sunny, warm day? Why is she going to be arriving in Boston long after the shelters are full up for the night?

I really really don't want to put her up. I actually hardly know her aside from Facebook, which is not enough to invite into my house. Also, I feel that I'm doing more than enough by taking her cat. It was ON HER to work with the psych hospital and social worker to find a housing solution.

No matter what happens, I'll probably have to go out tonight, if only because SHE DOESN'T HAVE A COAT WITH HER. I don't even think she has a change of clothes.

Saw the eclipse successfully! Hooray! And showed two of my co-workers how to use a pinhole camera/make shadow puppets to see an eclipse, so that was fun.

No, once she moves in, you're going to be person-watching longterm as well.

I feel like running to my Mommy, truly. There has to be an adult out there who can help me.

That doesn't sound good, Theo. I hope she's okay and does not become your responsibility.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Theo. You can't take her on, but I hope you can help her in some way.

Does everyone know there's a solar eclipse starting in about 15 minutes?

I just felt bad about missing it, except there was no sun here at all. This is a huge-ass storm! 24+ hours on and off.

It got totally cloudy here, boo hoo.

You know what's almost as good as chicken tikka masala at the restaurant? Heated up leftover chicken tikka masala!

Leftover Indian is just as good as leftover Pad Thai. Yum!

Tim is making me mac & cheese because I'm whining about my migraine and I also have a lot of work to still do. It's useful having a houseboy.
