It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

imaginators is a terrible word that shouldn't be in a job description.

In addition to my other adulting, I've located a new doctor and gone for a physical. And in doing so, I also got antibiotics to try to kill the respiratory infection I've been living with for the past 2 months.

Tomorrow, I'll go to the gym then to a blood draw. Doesn't this all sound fun?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Do today's douchebros really use "rock n' roll" as an adjective? I'm getting the sense that this was written by Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Damn, Kat. Go you with the adulting! I slept in, read, worked out (somewhat half-heartedly), went to the grocery store, made a tinder date...

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

Anne is getting my cat some catnip for Christmas. Now I suppose I should get her cat something for Christmas too...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm basically packed for tomorrow. Now there's a somewhat suspicious cat on my lap. He has the best cat sitters in the world catering to his every need over the next several days, but I still kinda wish I was in a position to have my family come to me. Eh, I like flying, and it's just five days.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Just like my last staycation, I'm getting sick. I'm gonna call my doctor this time because I don't want to end up in ER again. Stupid lungs taking their own vacation.

My friend who is home on hospice has had today dedicated to her by the City and County of San Francisco for her 40+ years of work as an advocate for children, child care, early education, and family support services. The proclamation has multiple Where As's and just made me cry to read the whole thing. Her family had early Christmas this last weekend and posted some pictures. At first look, she looks like the lady I knew but looking deeper, I can tell that her light is dimming.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Tommyrot, I suggest the hard catnip balls. Same reaction from the cat but less mess and they last longer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ah ha ha, just got a letter from my insurance plan that my therapist, as of Nov. 11, is no longer in their network.

Dana, your insurance plan gives crappy holiday gifts.

I just made my parents choose their Christmas gift (symphony tickets, they chose the concert) and with that my shopping is done!
