I don't remember if this has been posted before, but it's good to keep these rules by Greta Christina in mind: Feline Paralysis: "I Can't Help Fix Dinner, I've a Cat on My Lap!"
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got outside for a walk and to pick up cat food before the forecast rain moved in. Now we have a cold steady rain that's expected to go on most of the day, and I'm sitting here feeling warm, dry, and self-righteous.
Something's gonna explode now, isn't it.

Punishingly Intricate

I walked out on the deck and was greeted with the opening to the Masterpiece Theater theme, which was oddly motivational!
My neighbor's trumpeter boyfriend is in town and is practicing. I love this neighborhood.

I cannot motivate to clean, but I think I'll go swim. Clean later.

Baby shower today! It's mostly gay men without kids, so maybe not so much about the advice-giving, but it's gonna be CLASSY.
No poop games is an excellent credo.
I just woke up and am still all sleepy. Whyyy. But my friend texted about going to Joann's and then sewing so I will get up and food now. And coffee.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac wants to make a wooden sword today, so that means finding saws in the UNORGANIZED garage and then setting up some work area ( no clamps, no vices ). ugh, I don't wanna be the parent that says no I don't wanna do stuff with you, but guys, I really don't wanna. SItting on ass with possible nap seemed like a much better idea today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Truth.
So, the empanadas are pretty good, but I should have realized the biscuits would be too sweet. Pot roast is cooking. Next is a quiche for breakfasts, because I have all the stuff.
