Very exciting, Polter Cow!! (Will this relieve some parental pressure on you, if they can be busy cooing over a grandbaby? Because that would be extra bonus, I'd think!)
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woohoo Uncle Polter and the whole Cow family! Monkey baby!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband has his interview with the largest employer in Nashville in a couple of hours, if everyone could cross their fingers. It sounds like he would really like it, and I suspect we'd like it more than Oklahoma City.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Fingers crossed, Dana!!

And if anyone needs to improve their day, here are videos of service dogs playing with a costumed Pluto at Disneyland.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congratulations to the expanding family of Cow!
Fingers crossed, Dana!
I am a discontent kitty today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hooray, Uncle Sunil!
Fingers crossed, Mr. Dana!
We have another funeral this week (no joke): Tim's uncle this time, who was 81 and in poor health, but kind of a steady poor health, if that makes sense. But last week he had a stroke and didn't recover. Tim wasn't very close to his uncle, and I seriously can't remember if I ever met him (he didn't come to family shindigs, possibly because of his health), but I like his aunt and cousins a lot.
That makes 4 funerals/memorials so far in 2016, for those keeping score at home. I am not amused.
My brother is doing better, in that he's not drinking (again) and has an intake appointment today with a therapist who specializes in addiction and childhood trauma. I know it can take several tries for someone to find a therapist who's a good fit, but I'm crossing my fingers hard for this one. I hope it helps. I worry about him all the time.
Finally, I wish I had a petcam running all the time, because the super-fat cat did actually go SPLAT! up against the front window because she saw a cardinal in the bush. Amusingly, the bird was SUPER unimpressed, because it didn't even move.

I'm sorry you have yet another funeral, Tep. Jeesh. Good luck to your brother. It's so hard. But worrying doesn't help, if you can find a way to stop.
I have hit the point of the day where everything I could do would be SO MUCH EASIER from work than from home. Maybe I will take a hot shower.
