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

Damn, brenda!

Congrats to Suzi and CJ!

Condolences for Muppet, Theo, and I'm sorry about your roommates bad news. Tough day.

I had a long day myself, but full of good stuff. Miss Kitty came with her own cat tree, so I borrowed my parents' truck, drove down to get her and her accessories, mad it back u to my Tai Chi class only a couple of minutes late (Repulse the Monkey->Parting the Wild Horse's Mane -> Cloud Hands plus some Brush Knee walking forward practice, so now we can walk backward, forward, and sideways), finally had some dinner after class and got home after my bedtime but before it started raining. There is nothing quite like driving a not very familiar stick shift pickup through heavier than I'm used to traffic for a couple-three hours. Miss Kitty was pretty calm through most of it, though, which is nice. Hopefully not because she was terrified the whole time. I don't think so.

She's sequestered in the bathroom right now with her own food dish, water dish, litter box, scratch pad, and the carrier I transported her in in case that feels safe and familiar. Walter is super interested in meeting her but being polite about it so far, I don't think Jadzia and Pixie realize there is another cat in the house yet. That'll be a challenge for tomorrow. As well as getting the cat tree in from the truck and functioning on what will clearly be too little sleep.

Now that I've sen her, I don't think she's Maine Coon at all. Fluffy, though. Maybe Ragdoll, she reminds me of a cat that we figured was mostly Ragdoll.Certainly very sweet and friendly and apparently low key and calm.

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

Did someone mention Susan Collins as a moderate Republican? She says she might support Trump, if he stops the personal attacks and get more detailed about his policy plans. [link]

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

A crime reporter mapped out part of it

Holy shit! It looks like that went right by work and almost up to my home. How did they not stop him on Ashland?

edit The map on that 2nd link shows that they went right past my place, too.

'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"

You know what I need in the morning? Some sort of washer that I can stick just my head into, which shampoos, rinses, dries, and styles my hair all in one go.

Thank you for all your kind words about Muppet. I know I've spent a lot of time commenting on Spare Cat (who now qualifies to be called Primary Cat, I suppose) but Muppet had the dignity of a Duchess and padded confidently through life accordingly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, I'm so tired of 50 and rainy. It feels like every day they say it's just going to be the weather for two more days.... and then the next day, they say two more days. This is not May Flowers!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Unrelated to anything except gunnghhhh. That pic of Chris Evans in the Rolling Stone piece. Ded. JFC.

I know I can google, but the lack of a link is just a mean tease.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Theodosia}} I'm sorry to hear about Muppet and the roommate news.

Holy crap, this fustercluck just won't end, will it?

Unlikely.

So, my friend who works in politics says Gov. Susana Martinez (NM) for Trump's VP.

Punishingly Intricate

So sorry about Muppet, Theo.
