Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Yeah, you have every right to be righteously miffed.

At least I can channel my miffedness towards the ants.

ION, the lawyers decided that I kind of screwed up my interview--until I pointed out that anyone who reads that article and actually cares has already made up their mind, anyway. Bah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bah! You did well, Consuela.

It's OK if my new glasses are giving me a little headache, right?

Because books.

New glasses or contacts always give me a headache for a day or two. Is it a new prescription?

Consuela, I thought you sounded fine, but I have to admit, I had no idea Consuela wasn't actually your name. Oops?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's a slightly higher prescription, I believe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wow, goodbye TT. That's a weird feeling.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow, TT will be gone.

I remember visiting the library to look up that Buffy show on the internets, and how TT was the first thing I found!

ION, how do you kill ants?

I'll put a plug in for diatomaceous earth: [link]

It's safe around pets. Spray it under baseboard, across thresholds, etc. Because it is a powder, it's messy, but effective. I put it around the perimeter of my basement, under the sink, baseboards. Sprinkled a little just last night on a writhing ant farm right outside my door and the colony is gooooone!

Loki had an hourlong "walk" tonight. He met Pooch. I don't think he's a fan. Pooch soo wanted to make friends, but Loki was rather riled. I could calm him down, however. And he got visits from three of his human neighbors, so he liked that....

Our wings are not tired.

I'll put a plug in for diatomaceous earth

Yup, just be sure to get the food-grade d.e. for use around the pets/humans. I sprinkle it liberally in my backyard to help control flies, etc from breeding. I also have no tick/flea/ant problems.

Ha, flea!!
