I forgot to approve of emotionally supportive hippos. I recently got a Jellycat bunny with the softest fur I've ever felt. Every time I touch her I marvel all over again how soft she is.

Jellycats are the best for soft fur. When Peanut grows out of her stuffed animals, I'll probably keep all the Jellycats for cuddling archival purposes.

Jellycats! Merricat, my traveling bunny, is a Jellycat. I got her after the youngest goddaughter spent an afternoon covering me with all of her Jellycat bunnies. (She knew her Uncle Loomy was away for a month, and wanted to make sure I was emotionally supported.)

So, I applied for a job last week. I very quickly got a "thanks, but no thanks" email. It was a stretch job, so I shrugged it off. Tonight, I opened up the cover letter that I had sent and discovered that not only did I forget to update the date (which was October 17, 2017), I misspelled "Counsel" in the first sentence. t facepalm

No wonder I got rejected with a quickness.

Oh dear, Vortex. Forgive me for my morning chuckle at that, but I could see me doing that so easily.

Every week when ltc goes out with my mother she comes home with something from the dollar store. This week she came home with a bunch of Mardi Gras style beads where the beads are skulls and bones.

one of us! one of us! (as though there was any doubt)

I love it. One of Peanut's favorite toys is the skeleton cat we got from Cost Plus last year, and she got the "baby" skeleton cat from Target this year (same mold, cheaper material).

She promised me I can wear one of them on Halloween.

A mistake you won't make again, anyway, Vortex.

Also in job search news, I got a reach out a while back on Linked In for a job that I had applied for. Since I'm stepping up my job search, I replied and told him that I'd interviewed and been rejected, but would be happy to be reconsidered. He claims I did not apply for this particular position, Um, okay, you're the hiring person. I'll apply again.
