I am so sorry Burrell, I hope your next days together are peaceful and calm.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Matilda has a playdate with EM later today and is beside herself with bustling excitement as she tries to round up all her favorite dress-up clothes and shoes (the ones we don't let her wear out), her favorite books and videos and her shrinky dinks. EM has promised to knit a small flying carpet for her Jasmine and Alladin dolls, so there will probably be knitting as well.
Emmett is sleeping in for the first time this week, despite that his school has had vacation. But he spent the whole week training and doing baseball practice.

Holy cow a snowstorm blew through here in about 20 minutes, blizzarded, and blew away. Now it's warm enough that steam is rising from all surfaces. Craziness. Beautiful, though.
There was a woeful lack of coffee in the house this morning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, Burrell. I hope the next few days are as peaceful and filled with kitty love as possible.

All my sympathies, Burrell. I'm glad you had such a long, loving time with her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She lived long as was well loved, Burrell. I'm sad that you have to say goodbye to her.
Didn't the maker of that actually send one to Vicki Vantoch?
No, that never happened.

Whoa, I just realised I had extensive dreams about hanging out with Britney Spears, except she was, well, not much like the current public persona of Britney. She was geeky and witty and a different kind of beautiful, and just amazing to hang out with, and we kept going "Can you imagine this was the same barefoot at the gas station woman?"
Uh, no, because you completely reinvented her.

Huh. I had an extensive dream about sampling cookies test baked for a new bakery. It is extrapolated from the coffeeshop opening, but it was awfully fun to eat all those cookies last night and not have calories to show for it this morning.

Dream eating is great, because you don't get the uncomfortable full feeling, like you say--no consideration of calories, and really, the enjoyment of flavour is transient anyway, so who cares if you were awake or not when it happened? It's just a memory.
It's not heart-crushing like waking up from a dream where you were loved and then you're not anymore, not like that. Or having a persistent negative effect where you dream you were betrayed by someone who's never done you wrong in waking life.
Yes, I vote for tasty tasting dreams for all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right? And because in the dream I was supposed to be critiquing, I really paid attention to the taste. Just exactly how it crumbled in my mouth, whether the sweet was too overwhelming, what the differences were. I can't really explain the pizza cookie at the end of the dream, but I'm okay with the rest of it. And they were really good!
