I think it was Monday that Andrea caught another mouse.  It was about 6pm, a perfect cloudy day and she was outside.  I heard this kerfuffle by the fence on Sia's side, I thought she was jumping up on the fence but seconds later she ran into the apartment and spat out a mouse right at my feet.  The poor mouse wasn't dead but it was bleeding, like ( Read more... )

Today my "mean" charge nurse (cardboard cutout one) said to me, "What's wrong?"  She always knows.  Just by freaking looking at me, she knows ( Read more... )

Oh wow... I wrote like 95% of this last night and then fell asleep, computer battery died, etc.  I'm glad for the "restore draft" feature.  Not that this was exactly pleasant, and I even felt weird when I left for work this morning, but now, almost 24 hours later, it's all fine ( Read more... )

I've got a couple of funny stories, then some more serious stuff (which might go friends-only).  But funny stories...I have a few of late.  Animal stories, kid stories, funny-people stories ( Read more... )

I thought it was June 21st (in spite of writing 20-June-2014 all day, wtf) and took a bunch of pictures of "the longest day of the year".  I was calling it "The lightest night of the year" too until my dad corrected me...  That's still right...no?  Whatever.  I am stupidly tired, almost too tired to enjoy my Friday night but fighting save the last ( Read more... )

All right.  So FWIW, I DID NOT BUY MY CAT A POTTED PLANT FOR HER "ANNIVERSARY" as some thought (thanks a lot Erica, Lara, and "two-legged Andrea").  That pic of Andrea on the table was taken by my Dad earlier in this year, probably in like February.  I say Feb because that's spring planter-if you look closely those are daffodils! I just thought it ( Read more... )

So the sectional arrived last week, and it's actually...perfect.  The extra 3" actually made it into a fairly deep couch, and I like it.  The color is basic and nice (I would've said greenish-gray but it really looks beige with lines), the fabric is like a light corderoy; it's simple and well put-together, which is exactly what I wanted.  Looking ( Read more... )

So, I'm not going to write about my brother and his issue here, that's his thing.  If I know you, you probably already know anyway.  I'll just say that it's hard to deal with...he'll get whatever punishment is coming to him, he's 30 years old...  It's just strange as his sister, because he hasn't ever been in any trouble before, I *know* he's a ( Read more... )
