Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Popeyes chicken was the starring main dish at my friend's birthday potluck. She was so happy someone remembered.

Y'all, I think this storm will kill us. Salt truck WITH PLOW has already been down my street THICE. It's gotta be a sign of the apocalypse.

Wait...is there Popeye's out there? There is, right?

There is.

A friend of a friend came out to visit SF and refused to eat anywhere else.

Maybe there were 1 or 2 people who could eat all of that and had the best day EVER.

Hee. I think A. said a bunch of people were chowing down on them who he was pretty sure said they didn't eat gluten. Maybe they regretted it later.

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

It's like that French book (titled e) that does not include the letter e.

Tep, we paused at an entire gluten free bakery stand and thought of you. (And uh, bought treats at the other bakery.)

But I also feel like I'm failing at being a good aunt because after a few hours of my nephew I want to hide

Isn't that the whole point of auntery?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Liese, I know you said online, but you should come to Boston!!!

Well, I haven't actually gone public with this, but I just registered to complete my degree with their inaugural online songwriting major. If I get all my transfer and prior learning credits that I hope to, I would finish a year from the end of this semester.

So...I might be in Boston to walk if I graduate, in May 2017.

In non-potluck/snowpocalypse news, a semi-theoretical question. I intend to be moved into an apartment by the end of the year (this may involve a dumpster and getting rid of stuff I'd rather not, but this will happen). I found an apartment complex that is in the best location, but it's No Pets. I've been reluctant to get a cat right off anyway, but I'm reluctant to lock myself out of the possibility. The thing is, I've never had a purely indoor cat, and I'd want to get two so they'd have someone to talk to when I'm at work all day, and I hate the idea of two cats shut up in a smallish apartment all the time. On the other hand, having someone/thing to talk to that isn't very demanding is very pleasant.

So, cats in apartments, do they mind that much? (Now that I write it all out, it may just be a better idea to live in an apartment for a couple of years and revisit the cat issue when I look at the possibility of going to a condo.)

They're just fine. I had Devi as a solo cat in a 750 sqf for 6 years before I acquired MK. Of course, that solo may have reinforced her single cat preference... I has 3 in there for about 6 months. That was a bit much.

Ok, going to get my shit together & go wine.

I know lots of cats that have been indoor only and never minded at all. But I think it's harder if they've had a taste of freedon.

How exciting, Liese!

My head hurts something fierce. I suspect food might help, but I don't know if I have the wherewithal to make there be food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, I haven't actually gone public with this, but I just registered to complete my degree with their inaugural online songwriting major. If I get all my transfer and prior learning credits that I hope to, I would finish a year from the end of this semester.

That is awesome!!

I had a single cat in a small apartment, and never thought he minded.... I now have a single cat in a larger apartment, and she apparently hates other cats.
