Yay, Slinky!
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay, Slinky! You keep on, kitty girl.
Maybe don't harass her with vegetables for a few days as a reward.She won't know, but we will.
We don't have any cucumbers, but we tried to spook the cats last night with a green banana. Toke ignored it and Slinky just looked at it, sniffed once in its direction, and went to sleep.
No fun at all, I tells ya.
Slinky Don't Care!
Glad to hear that Slinky is doing better
I tried to spook my cats with a cucumber today and they both DGAF.
Slinky best not be using up lives!
Though I should say same. 10:30 pm, check weather forecast. Climb out on porch roof and clear leaves.
Ugh. Can't sleep. Friend who is in the CICU at my work is, I'm all but certain, going to die today. His barely-past-teen daughter (an undergrad at Cal) is up at the hospital now, sending updates to a group of friends, but my elderly flip phone can't process them so I don't know exactly what's happening.
I want to just get dressed and go up there, but I don't want to intrude, but I don't know if anyone else is there with her and I'm by far the nearest person. I'll go in before work and make sure her mom or (ex-but-still-involved)stepmom is there before I go.
He was a huge, huge personality, and when I saw him Monday night he was so diminished, and old, and small, and laboring for each breath, and everyone was still hoping and expecting he'd turn a corner (not the doctors, which I could tell because I know most of them and I've known them for far too long to not know the exact subtext of every patient-related word they say -- but his family, his kid).
Fuck.
Oh, JZ, how awful. For his family, for you, for everyone.
I'm sorry, JZ.
