All right, 8pm meeting is done. I'm in my pajamas eating grapes and trying to convince myself to get in the shower and go to bed as soon as possible, because my alarm is set for 4:50am.

Maybe I'll have a gin and tonic first, though.

I gratefully petted two of the alley cats that keep my building mouse- and rat-free when I got home from work this evening.

Memorial Stadium made me think of Detective Munch bitching about it causing parking problems for his parties downtown.

I think when animals play with live things they hate it when their toys stop "playing"

Ewww. Do not like talk of rats!

Seabiscuit believes he can and should kill everything, but as he did not complete his internship with Wise Old Female Rez Dog TM before adopting us to begin his pampered suburban globe-trotting life, he cannot catch anything for the life of him. He caught and ate a rabbit once, early in our time together, and obviously he hunted before he found us, but since then it's been the gravy train, and by gravy train, I mean expensive specialty dogfood ordered over the internet.

He does break a stuffed toy's neck pretty damn good though.

I'm mad at myself that I was at the supermarket yesterday but forgot.

You can still do it! Lots of people are doing it this week instead of on the particular day. And if anybody did it but wants to remain anonymous, I can totally be your cutout and post your story on the event page.

Trifecta because I am in Memphis, it is three in the morning, but I believe it to be midnight, I need to drive tomorrow but have been driving for two days already and I am insane tired and cannot hold a thought in my head for more than thirty seconds. And it takes more than thirty seconds to type a post, so by the time I finish a paragraph I can no longer remember what else I was going to respond to.

Which was: I totally believe I am solely responsible for the general wellbeing of my local fauna and flora. Before I left, I watered the plants, put out new birdseed, refilled the birdbath, put fresh sugar water in the hummingbird feeders, stocked the (expensive) dog food (it's the new old dog food, which he luuuurves, and is thriving on.) made chili, green chile cheese bread, and curried tuna (for sandwiches with avocado) for the SO. And I'm only going to be gone for nine days.

I am insane tired and cannot hold a thought in my head for more than thirty seconds.

Boo! Drive safely.

I feel you with the tired. I missed my 5:50am shuttle this morning because I couldn't get myself out of bed five minutes earlier. Saw the shuttle as it turned the corner, the bastard. Maybe I'll power nap before my 7am meeting...

Have a meeting in 20 minutes. Don't wanna, don't wanna...
