Hey, I get it! Ken is in King County and there are moments when "Drive to Bellevue, conk him onna noggin, stuff him in the back of the Mini along with his adorable smishy kitten and his quilts, haul him home with me" seems like a perfectly rational response to all of this.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

~ma and ~ma and ~ma and ~ma to you and yours, Cash. I am so sorry.
In other news, any kitty~ma would help. Pele almost died this week due to very surprising discovery of liver problems. After two hospitalizations I'm feeding him now via feeding tube and helping his organs to understand how to process food again. He's a poor cat right now.

I'm so sorry, Cash, and sorry for your little kitty, Shir.
I finally got some solid sleep -- not enough really, but better than I did all week, so I'm not entirely filled with despair this morning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wasn't meaning to call you out, Zen, I just started the sentence thinking of your Katie and tried to add people as they popped into my head and got overwhelmed

True. So true.

Thirding the boring. We've got a symphony concert scheduled for next weekend and I'm pretty sure it's going to be at least postponed.
C'mon, kitty! They are tasty noms!

Could any Jewish-istas explain to me why my daughter is having nightmares about some bad guy coming to take her away in the middle of the night? I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with a Purim song they're teaching her at school. She goes to a Jewish preschool, but we're not Jewish.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the National Geographic Museum to see the Jane Goodall exhibit. Amazingly, Mr. S was reasonably entertained in it, though we had to keep telling him to not go far ahead of us. (Considering that he got mad this morning because Gary had cut his waffle in fourths, like he wanted in previous days, and sent the plate with said waffle crashing to the ground, that's not too bad.)
sj, Considering that the Purim story is basically Haman(Boo!) trying to get all the Jews killed until Esther(Yay!) convinces the king of Haman(Boo!)'s evilness, that might make for nightmares. I don't know any Purim songs off-hand, though.
