That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

We once had a cat that didn't like having her water bowl - not both, just the water bowl - against the wall. So when there wasn't anyone in the kitchen, she'd pull the bowl out into the middle of the floor.

Worthington does this too, though I think it's just because he likes playing with the water bowl. So we have to anchor it in place by wedging it in between other pieces of furniture. Many's the catsitter who has underestimated his strength and left the bowl somewhere they thought was safe, only to come back later and find water everywhere.

ION, I sure am glad both M and I got paid this week. Now we can buy groceries again!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The only significant downside to the casita, I think, is the no hot tub. But we could always book time at this Japanese style bath house up the road. If we book a private bath, the dog can come too!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I sent my sister a link to the Bottle Of Wits and her reply was "I know! It was going to be a surprise!"

Did I just bust her on giving me something? The last random gift was an Inigo Montoya t-shirt.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Casita, for sure. Now I want to go.

So, this is awesome. I may have to fire my best friend at work next eek. Actually fire - not being cutesy.

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

Oh, no, brenda! Meep.

Oh bleh, brenda. BLEH.

We are expecting 14-26 inches of snow over the next 24 hours. Glad I don't have to go anywhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Casita and bathhouse sounds lovely. Unless you are definitely sure you'd want to be in the hottub every night. Even then, with the dog and everything else, I still vote casita.

Yikes, brenda. That sounds terrible.

I thought about taking myself out for a drink tonight, but decided to come home and make mac and cheese instead.

Yeah. Ugh. I don't know for sure, but signs are pointing that way. I already knew she was losing her bonus for the year, but things have...escalated.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, no, brenda. And you mean "fire" not "lay off," right? Because both situations would well and truly suck but having to fire for cause? Holy hell. That's just crap.
