We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

JZ, did your singing lessons include ear training work?

I will get all this laundry done tonight. I will buy new jeans tomorrow. I will get up early enough.

I've been going all day. Marketed (ran into our lisah!) hit up Target and the Walmarts (they're the only place that still has replacement mop heads for my mops,) scrubbed out the litterboxes, vacuumed the upstairs and spot-cleaned the barf and other feline eruptions (Devi had an episode while I was gone,) laundried, swam, manicured.

Tired.

I'm a little worried about Mister Kitty. He dropped an awful lot of weight in the past week. Not the fault of the catsitter, I pretty much push food at him whenever I'm home, and I only asked her to proffer wet food the two times a day she came over. Not sure if it is that, or he's doing another dramatic decline. He's just so old. I'll pick up some high fat kitten food tomorrow. And call the vet monday.

Damn, sarameg, just reading that made me tired.

I still have to retrieve the last of the laundry and make up my bed. And find where Pumpkin discarded her collar this time. I like her belled. Easier to find the little mad dasher.

Oh, and I scrubbed the tub with Barkeeper's Friend. Only way to keep the rust stains at bay until I can have it recoated (but not recolored!)

Collar found, 'kin belled for now. She was covered in cobwebs from who knows where in the basement and her feet were wet...

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Ugh, I need to remember never to initiate conversations with my mother. They always end up being about Why I'm Not Dating Jews. Also, I've had the realization that my mother takes my life choices as a personal insult to her and her parenting, which is no fun at all.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

JZ, did your singing lessons include ear training work?

I... runs to Wikipedia

runs back

... no. Just reading about it gives me a sort of math anxiety-esque strangle-chested gaspiness.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah, our mothers are comparing notes, I see.

PC - your mom wants you to date Jews? Very progressive of her.
