So this morning, I almost killed myself choking on a breakfast taco. Early morning keeps getting earlier.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear.
Different "oh dear" for renters' resumes. Oh, another thing to have on hand is references -- current/past landlords' phone numbers.

I feel be ougoing to all the tacos of the world and demanding that they take an oath not to harm Dana would be reasonable.
I wanted to go on Deal or No Deal just so I could ask Howie WTF was with the ending of St. Elsewhere.
Apparently I kept thinking about this, because while I was brushing my teeth I decided that the ending of St. Elsewhere was like Puck's speech at the end of Midsummer Night's Dream.

But those darn mistletoe tacos will get you every time.

Despite all the complaining, I've been doing not too bad with the early mornings, but today was the day where the alarm went off and I cursed.
I've had lots of caffeine. Yet it is not enough.

Got one cat to the vet successfully this morning. The other one has gone to ground in the basement. I hope she emerges again someday. And I'll have to figure out how to trick her into going to the vet. My old boys were so compliant (and kinda dumb). Getting them to the vet was never a problem! Different cats are different, I guess.

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
We are trying to find a place to stay in DC. One of the places we saw was in Brookland. I mean, it's been years since I've lived in DC, but I was like, "wait! all the way out there?!" I mean, it's by Catholic, right?
Yes. Nice quiet residential neighborhood, on the Red Line. And super near Washington Hospital Center and Children's Hospital, so the quiet is relative.
Anyway we ended up looking at places in LeDroit Park. When I still lived in DC that area was extreme sketch, but I guess it's all gentrified now. Weird.
You'd be amazed at what is gentrified now. Columbia Heights, Shaw, H Street NE, U Street, the 14th Street corridor, the area around Nats Stadium (Navy Yard/Half Street SE)...
