Cool rainy night.

Its been raining all day.

This is when I wish I had a porch, and could sit outside, watch the rain, and just think deep thoughts.

Its not the same watching it through a window.

I have a porch...complete with a couch, chairs, tables, ceiling fan, etc. Come visit.

!@#$%&* leg cramps all night! I just want sleep, dammit!

* Hugs *

I seriously need someone to talk to right now. There has to be another explanation besides the one I've come up with. There just has to be.

I'm sure there is. I'm here if you want to

I do NOT have the energy for this. Just fuck off and let me get well.

A few days ago, I was thinking about a music video from the 80s that I had enjoyed. I wanted to look for it on Youtube, but I couldn't think of who the artist was, or the name of the song, or even how it sounded.

Today, while I was out to lunch, I heard a song that I hadn't heard in probably 20 years. Suspicious of how the universe likes to play tricks on me, I looked up the words to this song to see who it was by, and then I looked up the song on Youtube.

You better bet your ass it was the same video I was thinking of earlier in the week.

I'm sure there is. I'm here if you want to

Thanks, Tarakin. I was already asleep by then, but I appreciate the offer.

I'd like to thank whoever had the great idea "take a sweater, but make it longer, like nearly knee length. Voila sweater dress!"

Genius, pure genius.

OMG!!!!

I'm all giddy!!

Did I forget to mention that I was almost hit by a train while driving yesterday? Some woman blocked me in while I was crossing the tracks, just as the flashers and bells started going off, and the gate was coming down just as I was clearing the tracks. If she had blocked me in much longer I would have rammed her off the road.

I would rather get into an accident with a car than a train.

The trouble with time zones. But if it reappears at odd hours, chances are I'll be there.

Absolutely!!! No question of it. And, after that, well, I just can't say what.....

First measure your cat...

I have just installed a replacement cat flap because the old had broken and become too stiff to use from too much traffic.

The instructions for installation, in the so-called universal language of cartoons, start with a picture of the cat being measured to see how high off ground level the cap flap should be installed.

The idea is to measure the distance between the cat's belly and the ground when the cat is standing normally, and then put the lower edge of the cat flap at that height.

First catch your cat.

Then try to get spitting cat to stand normally when it is trying to scratch your eyes out as you position a metal tape alongside it.

Then remember that aforesaid cat will get into tight spaces that you wouldn't think are cat-sized. Cut hole in door about the height that you think the cat's belly would be if standing normally. Drill holes. Curse cat as it jumps through the un-catflapped hole causing you to drop tiny screws and nuts necessary to fit cat flap.

Fit first screw and nut. Curse cat again as it dabs, with extended claws, at your hand protruding through cat flap. Drop second screw. Throw cat out of house. Fit second screw. Then realise that third and fourth screw holes will not line up despite careful use of supplied paper template. Remove first and second screws. Redrill holes for third and fourth screw. Throw cat out of house again.

Fit first screw and nut. Curse cat as it tries to enter through part-installed cat flap. Fit second screw and nut. Fit third screw. Then find that fourth screw hole in cat flap mounting is blocked. Remove first, second and third screws. Take cat flap mounting to garage. Put in vice. Carefully drill clear hole through cat flap mounting despite cat assisting from the bench top.

Fit first screw and nut. Curse cat as it tries to enter through part-installed cat flap. Fit second screw and nut. Fit third screw. Find that fourth screw hole in door will not line up with fourth screw hole in cat flap mounting. Fit bloody thing with only three screws and nuts.

Cat now refuses to use new cat flap and sits outside yowling until partner opens the door.

Try to instruct cat on method of using cat flap. Cat could happily negotiate old cat flap even when it was becoming stiff to operate but now refuses new replacement.

Grab cat. Push through cat flap from inside house to outside house. Reverse process.

Retire to study with six-pack cursing all cats.

Cat curls up on lap purring happily.

People who don't have money will never understand it. When I was young and poor, my rich uncle ( and I wasn't one of his heirs ) once declared: "Being rich isn't all it's cracked up to be." I didn't understand it then; I do now.

The trouble with having money is that there's always somebody trying to steal it.

Wow...

 

[Isid]

that made me smile and on that note... goodnight

YUM. I want!

Nice AV, Ms. Chantilyvamp.

My blurt: Your focus impresses me so much. With all that you have going on, to continue training for this race is just....damn. No wonder I'm so bowled over. I am going to be wishing you good weather and happy no-cramping muscles, and am going to be so sad not to be there afterward to see your glowing, happy, triumphant face - and to kiss the hell out of you.

Throw tomatos at cat? That would hit two flies with one stone

But then I would have to clear up the mess. We still have tomatoes ripening on plants outside - in November!
