I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If you came across that car in real life, would you be able to restrain yourself from going at it with a red sharpie?

Right? Not only is "incredulously" used incorrectly, the bold type just compounds the offense.

ION, I love the way my little girl crosses her paws.

Awww, Zoe does that too and it is so sweet.

Kato always did that. He looked like such a proper gentleman dog.

Totally unrelated: I gave my mom a Penzey's box of spices for Christmas, and she texted me this morning to tell me how much they love all the spices they've tried so far. I texted back and told her that the owner of the company really hates this administration and often has specials that poke at something the administration did (like their special on Mexican vanilla and spices right after Trump said something particularly egregious about Mexican people). My mom replied "Really? I'm buying EVERYTHING they sell!"

Thrive to spite them

I had a cat who crossed his paws.

Scully and Mulder are good names. Scrappy the kitten has been warming up to Matthew'm but he is still really skittish. He hides from me although once you can get him from his hiding place he wants lots of petting. And he will get on the bed at night.

Mulder and Scully will come around.

I have a cold again so I stayed home from work. Last cold I didn't and it took a look time to shake. I'm hoping 3 days of rest will help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mulder and Scully = cute!

I actually have work to do today, and literally no interest in doing it! I can probably waste the day with small tasks, but when am I going to feel like tackling this project? Probably never!

OK, promise to myself: at least give it a half-assed effort today.

Our wings are not tired.

I just went into the hideaway to arrange things and give new water and food. Put a bed down and moved the litter to the far opposite end of the room from the food. BOTH Mulder and Scully came out of their hidey place to collect ear rubs and attention. DH reported when he was visiting with them earlier Zoe howled and barked at skateboarders and they ignored her completely. They were born in a house with dogs so no biggie to them.

Scully and Mulder are good names.

Those are great names!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay Scully and Mulder!

Sometimes half-assedly starting a project makes it easier to really complete it well later.

The truth is out here, kitty cats.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They sound like an excellent pair of KitKats.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Call for my boss at 8:20 this morning to find a meeting room (offsite) for all employees (54) for meeting tomorrow, a Saturday!!!! Mandatory, no warning,

Annoying, but also not so easy for me to find a place.

At 10:20 he called again to see if I had anything. I had only reached people's voicemails by then.

Turns out he not only wants a room, but good and AV also! So $2k later we have it booked.

Mandatory no warning Saturday meeting?!? Wtf??? That is crazycakes. What if people have plans? What kind of thing does someone announce at a meeting like this (that you couldn't do on a weekday??)
