The dog episode caught me by surprise. Silly snarky Futurama is not supposed to make me cry, goddammit. I don't want to watch shows that make me cry. I've done enough crying for one life. What's the point, anyway? Catharsis? It's awful. I was interested in renting Up until a friend told me it would make me cry. I still don't know what's sad about a cranky old guy flying his house around with balloons. I guess he dies. Maybe a dino eats him. I also don't know how they went back in time with balloons.

Yay, Steph! I congratulate you on extending yourself socially. I think I've actually gotten worse about it, myself. One of my neighbors has a dog, but it's an annoying chihuahua that keeps pooping on my lawn. My new neighbor has a red Jeep with a Superman sticker in the back window; seems like that should be an opening for me to introduce myself, but I don't know how. Not sure I really want to, anyway.

I'm gonna buy a kitchen scale to weigh my cats in bowls! That's adorable.

Up is actually wonderful, but there's a bit at the beginning that's like Toy Story levels of unfair cry-button pushing.

Mister Kitty gave me one of his rare looks of WTF you freaky human? as I put him in.

I do have to monitor his weight. But I might move to something less insulting than a bowl. It was convenient. All the cardboard boxes are in the basement.

Glad you know how to fall well, sara. It's a good skill to have. I think I lost it.

Laundry washing now, the dress soaked up a fair amount.

Silver lining is free soap? Yeah, not so much.

I did't think about weighing the cats on a kitchen scale. I just stand on the scale holding one of them and then weigh myself without the cat.

The one people scale I have is pretty old and suspect. And since MK has gotten so small and off the insulin for a couple weeks, I really need to track losses of under a pound. Luckily, the largest kitchen scale at Target is 11 lbs. Perfect. He was a lb higher at the vet's at intake, but I'm going to attribute that diff to different scales and establish this as the household baseline.

My scale is nowhere near accurate enough. Best I hope for with my scale is a five pound range when I weigh myself.

but I'm going to attribute that diff to different scales and establish this as the household baseline.

Good plan. It's not the exact number so much as the general trend information that I end up needing.

I am so totally putting the kitten in a bowl on the kitchen scale just as soon as he gets here. Just because I can.
