That sounds so fun, meara!

Work is eating my brain. I never know what day it is anymore. And I am way overscheduled this weekend, with fun stuff that I want to do, but still, a lot of stuff. So I don't expect to be really clearheaded for the foreseeable future

I had to capture one of the last two alley cats behind my building this morning and take him to the vet for an injured/infected foot. He was Not Happy, and may not trust me anymore after the terror of his first car ride. But, he's been treated with antibiotics, de-wormed, and neutered, with a clean bill of health other than the injury.

Timelies all!

The upstairs tv has a cracked screen. We think that something Mr. S threw last night did it. Sigh...

That sounds fun, meara! I'll have to look for something like that around here. My friend and I were talking about trying to find a choir opportunity (non-church, she's a wiccan), but the only thing she had found so far was super-expensive to join. We'd love something like what you found!

Good luck, msbelle!

You're a good human, Matt!

I've been scrambling to finish the needlepoint on another section of my Irish dress in advance of a performance Sunday afternoon. I really need to try to be more sensible and do small sections when I'm not under deadline instead of my current process of waiting until the last minute, scrambling to do a ton of work in a short time, then not wanting to touch it until the next deadline. It's like cramming for finals, except with embroidery.

Go msbelle! Yay meara!

Matt, thank you for taking care of that cat.

Edited: oh, Epic, I'd love to see that dress!

In case you might remember, that fun paper I decided to write about zombies is now the most depressing paper I had to write, a thought experiment in anthropology to plan a research on how people imagine the end of mankind. Maybe I should add a picture of a baby elephant or a recommendation to watch Good Omens in the conclusion.

I'll take a new pic tonight (the last one I took was a while ago, and this thing is seriously an ongoing project), and post it on FB.

I'm intrigued.

Both very good things.

You're a good (and brave) man, Matt.

We're having a freaky hail storm.

I'd be mighty displeased if I were treated so, Matt, but you are a hero nonetheless.

DH stopped in to visit elderly aunt and uncle he has avoided for a year. It may be the last time. We shelter ourselves from the Trump crowd for the most part. I'm thinking of shielding myself further. They are quite scary and depressing.

Last night I went to this thing called "crowdsource choir"—about 30-40 folks showed up and a guy taught us 3 and 4 part harmony for "I wanna know what love is" and then we sang it. And it was so much fun!! I'm not sure I want to join a regular choir and show up all the time and feel like I have to sing super well, but it was so fun to be singing in harmony and hearing other people in a better way than karaoke?

That is awesome! And kind of like the gospel thing I did last weekend -- they had a workshop one night were we learned two things, and then just sang them from the audience at the concert the next night. No commitment!

Also, moan, cry, complain in big baby fashion.

Sometimes that's just what you need, Laura.

interview went well. I forgot to ask what the timeline was for hiring. fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed!

But, he's been treated with antibiotics, de-wormed, and neutered, with a clean bill of health other than the injury.

You are a good person, Matt.
