Ooh, I am scared but jealous of using a serger? Like, so much coolness but I don't know how to use it and there's so many moving parts!
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Break time. Ginger cookies baked, too crock pots worth of chili burbling with a vegitarian version on the stove, the downstairs is mostly clean... stull need to put away a few things, Ann's I need too making a shipping run for ice and decorations. Tonight is the happy couple's shower... they asked for chili and game night, easy enough when we first planned this. Now, when I'm running on half capacity...I'm taking Ibuprofen, making sure I take breaks, and I'm trying to let go of my idea of perfection.
I just wish I could fit a nap in the schedule.
ETA...wow, the typos. But I'm leaving them. Enjoy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Suzi, you have done a lot, that sounds excellent to me. I bet the house smells amazing.
Jesse, I once discovered a cat had worms by finding one on my clothes. I can attest to the fact that it did not live long in the plastic baggie I captured it in to take it to the vet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, all. We will be fine, and I will not have to burn the house down.
If it makes you feel any better, we had dogs when I was a toddler, and my folks discovered they had worms because I GOT WORMS.
Holy crap, though. (On the other hand, would I not have gained so much weight over The Holidays if I had had worms??? Hmmmmm.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh Jesse! Poor kitty! Poor you!
I made a horrible mistake and walked to the grocery store. I wore 3 pairs of pants, two sweaters, two socks, two hats. I had to call Lyft to go home- the wind was too cold.

Jesse, cats get tapeworms (if that's what it was) from infected fleas. I don't think the worm pieces are contagious. Speaking from experience, they're gross when you realize what they are but nothing a good vacuum cleaner can't take care of.

I think it was some other kind of worm? But either way, they should be gone soon, fingers crossed.

Yikes! But thank goodness for Lyft. A coworker offered me a ride home last night, and I was going to say they could just take me to the subway, but by the time we got to her car (which was close!!), I gave it up and took the ride.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If it was visible segments, it was tapeworms -- speaking from too much experience!
Anyway, as others have said, they're relatively harmless and easy to treat, if super icky. Don't beat yourself up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, is the moral of this story "Look at your cat's butt more"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Isn't that really the moral of every story?
