You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Oh, that stinks, msbelle. I hope it eases up soon.

Thrive to spite them

msbelle hope your back gets better soon.

I didn't finish my list of things. I also forgot I need to go to the pharmacy. I'll have to do that tomorrow. We need to call the vet tomorrow because Scrappy the Cat got into something and either has a new wound or an abscess that burst or something on his chest, right near his.. armpit area kind of . I don't know when it happened since he's so secretive and only cuddles on his terms.

We did get our room really cleaned well. And some stuff thrown out or moved around. We have an area rug in there and I finally used the carpet lint cleaner thing Matt recommended on Facebook and.... that is a lot of cat hair in a small section. Since we have hardwood floors and only 2 area rugs we don't have a great vacuum. But when it's nice for a few days in a row we're going to wrestle the rug out from under the bed and hanging over it the deck railing and beat it and use the lint comb thing to get more cat hair out of it.

Our wings are not tired.

Not for the first time I am thinking unkind thoughts in the direction of Clarence Thomas.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hospitalized with infection, will miss some oral arguments this week, court says. Thomas, 73, is the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court. He is being treated with intravenous antibiotics, the court announced Sunday night.

I have a place to stay until we get a boat! A friend that has come to the house every Sunday to shoot pool here fro years said it was a no-brainer that we stay with him until we get situated. We had already moved the pool table to his house to live there until/unless we get a house again. He is a single guy with a 3 bedroom house and said we could have the two rooms indefinitely to sleep and work. Since he said his existing bed sucks we even bring our own super comfy bed. I am more than excited. When Brendon went there yesterday for their weekly pool games the friend offered when DH said we didn't know where we were going. It is so perfect.

That's great, Laura!

It never occurred to me to ask him, because he isn't "family", but we have known him forever. Nothing like great friends. I told him we could all eat out every day for what it was saving me. Not to mention the comfort factor.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, My thoughts at this time are... nothing to be proud of.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, a friend of mine suggested that one just really really hope that he's forced to step down for his health. And not because of the other thing.

Though I don't know. He's pretty bad, certainly near the top of the list that I don't have. Along with Mitch McConnell, the Orange Idiot, Ted Cruz....I should stop making this list.

That's so great!

I learned not to wish ill on Supremes after Scalia died and they replaced him with three people as bad or worse.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think having a pool table on a boat could make playing very ... interesting? challenging?
