I called on what I'd read in The Nine Tailors when a friend who'd moved to England decided she needed a hobby and took up ... bell ringing. For reals. At least I could sort of follow her conversation.
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Two more Republican senators have come out in opposition to proceeding with the health care vote.
The only thing that concerns me now is that most of the opposition is because the bill isn't cruel enough. But hopefully if they were to make the bill worse, they'd lost more moderate Rs.

It occurred to me the other day that the current version of the GOP wants to replace the perceived Nanny State with a Wicked Stepmother State

sara, how's the tooth doing? (Yours more than Loki's)
Noah threw up in bed last night after eating his body weight in popcorn. This made cleaning his sheets impossible because the popcorn kernel shell-bits don't rinse neatly out when you wash them. This meant that I had to trash the sheet and then clean the washer carefully. Sigh. My summer life can be fun but it's also a lot of tedium.

No fun, Kat. Hope Noah is feeling better.
Because I want people to share my misery, I posted a pic of the carpet in my office area at work. [link]

The good news is that the county licensor who inspected last week (we did well, only minor problems that were corrected in front of the inspector person) noticed the split in the carpet that is located under my desk and is recomending to the landlord that it be replaced. She's calling it a trip hazard.

That carpet is headache inducing! yikes.
This morning Grace dropped a plastic lead for the dogfood on her foot. She has been complaining about it all day. She even showed me where her toe hurts before her bath. Then she said, "I'm lucky I can walk at all." My girl with the flair for hyperbole.
