Wishing i could send my mom out there to get the money for you. She has certain talents in that direction, as well as making me look soft and yielding in general.

We joke that it's kind of an Okie thing, because my grandpa was from there and he had it, and James Garner spent money and *twelve years* in court tracking down the profits from *Rockford*, and Elizabeth Warren's Elizabeth Warren. (Maybe the unofficial state motto is "pay up!")

In West Baltimore you could have your crew beat them up, I think. Sometimes makes me feel better, but then, you'd probably be better with a crew that *isn't* debating whether "beatdown" has a hyphen in it.(I mean, if you consider us a crew, that is)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Calli, can you not just decline to attend or provide a gift?
I could. Like, legally and all. But cousin was Mom's favorite and there's Family Expectations and yadda yadda. I don't care about cousin being disappointed. But he'd probably say something passive aggressive to my sister, and she shouldn't have to deal with that nonsense. Dropping a box in the mail is easier than dealing with family drama. It won't break the bank—I'm not giving up my cheese money to make this happen. I'm just a bit grrrrrrr about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FAIR.

Yeah, I know, if the extended's big enough, you probably *don't* really know each other, but it also guarantees someone's graduating(or something) always.

And I appreciate y’all letting me grump about it. I feel much better about things now. Not all things though—ND’s clients need to pay up already.

Ugh, I found out Molly has worms and got her treatment for them earlier today. Explains why she's continued to overgroom herself, to the point of raw skin. Thankfully the de-wormer was a topical liquid in a squirt hypo, so easy to administer. And I found out that Neosporin, which she miraculously didn't object to, is safe to use on cats.
Too many creepy crawlies this Spring!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
my niece is having a baby shower tomorrow. I have until 10:45 AM to make a big pan of browned-butter congo bars and a big salad for 15. But I am comfy on my couch after a day of work, workout, and errands.
At the very least I need to make the batter and the dressing tonight...
