I think he HAS to choose someone with legislative experience and I don't think there is a woman that has that, that will run with him.

Nikki Hayley would probably be his best choice as I think she has some broader appeal, but I believe she went on record as saying she would not be Trump's running mate ages ago.

I can go to the store on my own, when ever I want now!!! CJ has a car, a car loan, and is freaking out over adulting.

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

I just confirmed my mailing address for my woman card.

That's gonna be a lot of cheese.

We're gonna need a bigger platter.

How's Trump's relationship with Coulter?

Oh, dear god. Kill me now.

I'm totally jealous of his new car. It is a 2012 Ford Focus, manual. He has driven a stick a couple of times before, but today he really learned how to do it right.

'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"

Hurrah for car ownership (and particularly manual transmission cars!)!

Muppet failed badly through the afternoon, she was in very labored breathing, so we went to the vet's for the last time. It was largely peaceful, and especially given Muppet's integral dignity, graceful. The "light sedative" had her out like a light, she was so fragile, but I kept up the ear rubs just in case.

As if that weren't enough suck for the day, my roommate came home with the news that work has given her a choice: resign with a good reference, or retire early. (She's got over 25 years at MIT, but health issues, and mental health issues such as depression, have really done a number on her job performance.)

Me, I'm sad about Muppet but am trying to keep it in perspective, because 16 years is a good long run for a cat.

16 years is a fantastic run. Muppet was lucky to have you.

Sorry about your roommate's job situation.

CJ is going to pick up dinner - his first solo trip out with the new car (I'm buying him sushi).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, Theo, what a crappy day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, Theo. That is a lot of suck.
