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.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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)...

Baby! Yay baby!
Thank you for keeping us abreast of the Shake Shack situation, Tom. And for making me aware of the egregious use of 'decimate' in that headline. I'm not even really outraged anymore, but the weary tedium of the continued degradation of a once precise word warms my heart, somehow.

I hadn't seen it, because FB is a jerk and didn't put it in my feed.

Boo! It was posted on her DH's FB page, so god knows how the algorithm decides which of her friends get to see that.

Yay, baby!
I guess I will try to make a renter's resume tomorrow because I just can't handle it today. Too many meetings. Not enough sleep. Caffeine broken.
shrift, it's worth looking into particular landlords.
I've got an application in to a place like that, but I need one of their leasing agents to call me back. I'm looking up other options as well. I'm going to be making a lot of phone calls today. UGH.
