No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

On phone with: mortgage company, who slapped me with a $15 fee they said I agreed to. Spoiler: I did not agree.

Already talked to today: Likely current mover, who is being a pain in the ass, and potential new mover. The result: a driver coming to my house tomorrow at 7AM. Sigh.

I just got the confirmation call for the movers for tomorrow. Cut the dread!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hooray, Connie! For the movers, not the dread. There will be hiccups, but the end result will be the same. A new space, all your own.

Monday needs to stop being so damned Monday-like. Why can't it pretend to be more like a Friday every once in a while?

Lucky update: She's home, and doing amazingly well. Right now she's on BP meds, and we'll re-evaluate in a week. Her eyes are still super dilated, but neither one of us is noticing a substantial neurological deficit at this point. She's moving a little bit slowly, and has stumbled once or twice, but that's the extent of it. Thank you so much for the ~ma. It's powerful stuff.

Yay Connie!

After 3 days of rain, it's nice to sit I the sun and eat my lunch.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Connie, your move is so exciting! I can't wait for you to be settled into your new place, chilling with a book and some wine on the porch.

Lucky update: She's home, and doing amazingly well.

Yay, kitty! That's great news, Maria.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Aw, thanks, msbelle. Natter usually moves too fast for me to keep up, even now. But this weekend/morning in particular, I needed to be here.

Nice to see you too, Ms. The-Nicest.

Karl! It is very nice to see your pixels around.

I mentioned that Lucky is on BP meds. Did I also mention that those meds are pills? I was cringing, even though the vet tech said she was the easiest cat ever to pill. Guess what? So far she is. I grab her scruff, tilt back, her mouth opens enough for me to pry it open a bit wider to drop the pill in, and then I hold it shut and rub her throat. No muss, no fuss. I'm sorry I've bogarted the easy pilling from all of the other cats in the world. I fully realize how rare this is.

Because books.

That's good news, Maria!
