If I move anywhere walkable to grocery, I will have to re-train myself to shop multiple times a week to avoid too many bags. In NYC, walking by multiple grocery stores on my normal commute made 1-2 bag shopping my norm.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Grocery shopping with a car vs grocery shopping on public transit are night and day!
Also, grocery shopping in a house vs grocery shopping in a 4th-floor walk-up.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If you would like some encouraging news:
Coco has a chest x-ray today. The lung cancer tumor is shrinking. From what I understand (Hubs spoke to the oncologist), there's a long way to go -- but I'll take the good news where I can get it.
In other cat news, we're going to foster a young orange fellow named Covey. He's rather on the aggressive side with the other cats at the shelter. We're hoping that Coco will see him as another kitten to care for (even though Covey is a little old to be a kitten), and that Joey will see him as a playmate. Covey also tends to be a little aggressive with people. We're hoping to calm him down a little there, too, so he can find his forever home (although I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll end up as his forever home).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This year, Amych has consistently exceeded expectations. She has a proven track record of delivering on-time, under budget, and to the highest standards of this organization. She deserves a sticker, a pony, and a raise.
