Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Where is this? Just got home.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'll be checking that out in a minute!

Maria, I'm glad Lucky is doing better, and that she's easy to pill. I have to take Cosmo to the vet tomorrow afternoon; she's got some skin condition, and lost a lot of hair on her neck, and my kitty first aid has come to its limit. I've never had to give her oral meds, so I have no idea how she'll react if they're prescribed. I just hope whatever this is is easily treatable.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I was watching the livestream on my phone in bed and the text scroll took up so much of the screen it felt like all I was seeing was the hate trolls; I got so discouraged I turned it off. Plus, all the floating emojis were distracting. I'm watching the damn things rather than the performers.

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

Morning whine: Ugh, up for the regular early AM Tuesday meeting, after next to no sleep (work anxiety, lingering cold, and Matilda nightmare made for maybe two hours tops). I've been sickish but not actually sick for a week now and am so tired of it. Definitely not flu and not strep, just some miscellaneous cold that's playing havoc with the asthma and making me a drippy, coughing, decongestant-fogged idiot at work. BLARG.

The opening couplet from an Ogden Nash poem keeps running through my head like a sad unmusical earworm: "Very few things are very much duller/Than feeling unspecifically off-color."

Non-whine: Strix, so good to see your pixels! And I'm glad Lucky is doing better. My lovely grey Toby cat was meekly, easily pillable, the only one I've ever had who was that way, and it was blissful. It sucks having to see your critter be ill and needing medicine at all; it's nice not to have the extra stress of wondering how to get it into them without losing an extremity.
