Dana, that migraine needs to go away. I hope the ER can help.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Sorry to post and run, that kinda day. Earning my superior performer status ( and the percentage raise isn't all that, but I know what the pool is like, so 3.2% at my salary, I'll take it. It's like 10 pairs of full price flues, after taxes! Reality: up retirement contribution to eat it up.)
Cat fountain arrived. Both cats wouldn't stop drinking out of it, so I think it might cure the toilet drinking. It's even ceramic! [link]
Complete change of pace, but I can't stop thinking about it:
On the way home, saw aftermath of what mighta been a hit and run. Middling teen crumpled on sidewalk, feeling gingerly up torso, feet in street. Pulled over blocking traffic to call 911, but saw 2 other people pulled off safer, busting out of their cars& running towards him on their phones, so figured I was redundant and a hazard. Heard sirens shortly thereafter. It's a bad spot, pedestrians cross there & visibility for oncoming traffic is bad.. I really hope he's ok.

I get paid for my 10 minute breaks but not for lunch, Matt. I get clocked for all of them, though. It's supposedly to ensure that I am getting my legally mandated breaks, so, whatever. That starts Thursday. Sigh.
Ah, sounds more like to make sure no one is taking breaks beyond the legally mandated 10 minutes. But if you're getting paid for those, just annoying rather than outrageous.

It's pretty stupid, but capitalism so what do you expect?
Pretty fountain, sarameg. Healing thoughts towards person on the sidewalk, that sounds pretty bad.

I'm calling it the kitchen toilet. Going to take some getting used to the sound of water running without running to shut it off.
It's more elegant than many. Throw some stones in it, could be a tabletop fountain. But for now, kitchen.

I guess they could clock each other with the parts? Only a premobile baby could fit its face in there.
