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

Indeed. So much to unpack and so many reasons not to

Beautifully put, -t, and Jess nails it with the .gif.

Oh jeez. Yeah no. Just. Ugh.

Also ugh: it’s Friday but still not yet the weekend and the sun is rising so late now and I hate it and don’t want to get out of bed.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, don't like the dark morning stuff. I normally am up around 6 AM, but now when the school bus picks up the kids across the street at 7:15 I drag my ass out of bed. When I get to Florida it will be a bit better. At least I can get up early and walk to wake up down there because it won't be so cold.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh msbelle. That sounds horrible.

TVTropes seems to be EVEYRHWERE lately. This is the third mention I have seen in three weeks and I am basically only every here and on Facebook. I actually can across it in a Teen Wolf fanfic, because Stiles was looking werewolf things up on TV Tropes to ask Derek if they were true! Get out of my light reading, tvtropes~!

Oh, argh, although that is a funny idea if it was some other reference

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is seriously everywhere this week.

I am having exactly this reaction: [link]

And same.

Here's a bummer: I've never given my cat a pill, but I have some pill pockets in the house, so I thought I would give them to him as a treat just by themselves, to warm him up for if he ever does need a pill, but he totally rejected them!

On the other hand, they have been in the cupboard a long time, so maybe they are just stale and all is not lost.

Stale pill pockets do not sound terribly appealing, it's true. That does seem like a good idea to get him used to them as a treat, though!

I know I've run across it somewhere unexpectedly as well, possibly a couple of places because of course I immediately scrubbed the whole thing from my memory as much as I could (that sounds better than just being forgetful and absent minded, doesn't it?). Stupid zeitgeist or whatever.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, you might be able to conceal a pill in something the cat likes. Maybe. A friend once had to give her cat pills and she'd use either the pill pocket or a treat but sometimes the cat would eat the treat from around the pill and leave the (soggy) pill to be cleaned up. Once - my friend swore this really happened - she gave the cat her pill and after consuming the treat, the cat jumped up on my friend's shoulder and spat the (soggy) pill into her shirt pocket.
