In other news, I overhead someone mispronounce a word so wrong that it made me question my assumptions. Like, Maine Coons originated in Maine, right? Maine Coon like the state, right?
Yes, of course like the state. Thank god.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I am staring at the word trying to figure out how else you could pronounce it.

Ah yes, the French cousin of our humble Maine Coon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The kids on tonight's Jeopardy had a couple of the kind of mispronunciation that comes from only reading a word, and it was cute. (Albu-quirky, for one)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm. Should I change Miss Kitty’s name to Mademoiselle Chat? I don’t think I can count on being able to spell that consistently. I’ll stick with claiming it’s a Gunsmoke reference.

Shrift I have been there before, wondering if I’m the crazy one but no.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Feeling good that my first available colonoscopy appointment was 3pm on Monday July 31.
The July part of that is actually great--mine have all been in January or February, and one time I was worried I'd have to reschedule after I'd already started prep hell the night before because of snow, but fortunately a friend and neighbor with AWD was a complete hero and was willing to be my chauffeur.
