We burned garbage too, we were out in the country but we didn't have any animals. I enjoyed burning day, too.

I have this bathmat. [link] Basically a tightly woven heavy towel. Little heavier than hotel ones so doesn't ruck up as easily (hi, cats!)

Y'all, I'm still agog at my coworkers who tried to get to a directory by just typing the path. And decided it was a permissions problem. Like, how do you even have this fucking job? That's some entry level knowledge right there and we've been unix/Linux for TWENTYFUCKINGYEARS. There is no excuse for this bullshit incompetence. It's passive aggressive bullshit for reasons I can't begin to fathom.

Zen! Hi Zen! Well mearaed.

Ooh, that looks like a good bathmat at a good price.

Oh, I have purchased those from Target in the past and they were great. They likely are in a box in storage somewhere like most of my possessions!

Hi, -t! Good to be back.

True. I will have to remember to pick up said towel is the main challenge, or the elderly cat who has decided to retire to the bathroom will use it in preference to her litterbox (which is RIGHT THERE WHY CAT WHY?) but that is actually true of the bathmat, too. Hence the washing to disintegration.

Thanks to Oz's tendency to pee on the bathmat (his litter is nowhere near the bathroom.) I've stopped using a bathmat entirely. I just dry myself off before I step out of the shower.

I have a bloody footprint bathmat, but as my cats love sitting on it and their litterbox is right there in the bathroom, it's getting pretty grubby. I was considering getting some kind of wire tool to beat the dirt out of it like a saddleblanket rather than risk it in the washing machine.

OMG participating in local government is so tedious. And important, yes, blah blah. Right now it involves sitting and listening to white guys talk at us.

And using various euphemisms for brown and black people.

Oh, good, now the arguing.
