Glad there's no dead cat, despite the cat's best efforts to the contrary. You rock.

Nice to see you post. You must have dropped off into comment-only mode, like me.

I think, were I a cat, facing an unyielding stream of cars, with a pressing need to cross the street, I might do the same thing. Or, I might lick my butt.

It's good to hear from you as well, oh lurker similar to me. How are things in meenk land?

Things here are fabulous. I wish I was independently wealthy, of course, so I didn't have to work, and could wrap myself up in the awesome little cocoon that is my home life, but that's alright ( ... )

I don't need cold to be retarded. I probably don't need anything.

For me just a lack of sleep and stress can make me wonder down the halls giggling to myself like a nut case, I suppose it's a skill.

Alright nap time calls. Whee.

PS. The sinks drain well, it's like I've died and gone to "plumbing actually works" heaven... Yay plumbers and plungers...
