IMPORTANT CEILING CAT UPDATE: CEILING CAT HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND WAS SENT BACK TO THE YARD. ALL IS WELL, I REPEAT, ALL IS WELL.
(Yesterday afternoon was eventful to Ceiling Cat and I was afraid that he was hurt by his adventures. I was very happy to see him very much alive this morning).
Vortex, I am sorry for the weird friends dynamic situation.
In other news, my mom landed in AZ about 7 hours ago. She is visiting her sister and vacationing for the next 31 days, and I am very happy that she is able to do so.
(updated: apparently a word was missing).
Yay ceiling cat!
I am on the road. Not so much awake, but that will happen soon enough.
Yay for ceiling cat getting out of the ceiling!
Glad to hear ceiling cat is no longer in the ceiling.
Laura, going up for the service sounds like the right call. Are you driving???
Yay for ceiling cat getting out of the ceiling!
I suddenly wonder if I am responsible for any God missing from their place.
Aw no, Koko the Gorilla has passed away. [link]
Today is getting off to a very bad start.
Coworker is discussing whether or not to get up at 2:30AM to attend a meeting in France. She is out of her freaking mind.
Or a 7AM meeting on July 4.
