The only limb of mine that I'm willing to sacrifice would be my head since it's way too full and achy after a particularly fun work week; therefore, I couldn't very well converse.

We've arrived at a conundrum (counoundroum to the Welsh/British Isles contingent).

I am, for once, speechless!

But I'm sure that won't last long!

It's 11:17 p.m. Do you know where your cat is?

I'm hoping mine is just being inordinately stubborn and punishing me, since I haven't seen him since those few rumbles of thunder rolled through around 5 p.m.

JTA,

I may have to miss the meeting if I'm still out searching for 8-ball.



I sure am missing him and wish he'd come home.

He was locked in the basement next door again, freed this morning around 8:30. How do you turn an indoor/outdoor cat into an indoor-only cat (without him wreaking havoc on your house)?

He's currently being quite vocal about wanting to go out and I'm ignorning him.

What a cute kitty! What's his name?

We kept my 1 1/2 year old four legged beast, I affectionately call her, in the house from the time we got her (as a kitten from a shelter Dec 2003) until the spring. We started to let her out, which was a big mistake. After a few months, I decided she's staing in. She meowed alo for a couple of weeks; would always try to escape and would be a total pain. She finally gave up. She likes to sit in the window smelling the outside, feeling the air, so I try to keep a window on the second floor open for her whenever the heat or ac isn't on. She can't rip up the house because she doesn't have fron claws.

How long was your guy an outdoor cat? I'm sure he'll adjust. In the meantime, wear earpluggs! You might also want to confine him to a smal area of the house when you aren't home.

See you tomorrow?

JTA,

His name is 8-ball. Bauble for short.

He was abandoned in Watchung reservation in approximately April 2000. He was rescued by my ex and he came to my home in July of that year. There is no way I can convert him to indoor only. That was just a dream. I wish it could come true, but I'd never torture an animal, and I believe any animal who had freedom in the past should not have that taken away.

So, 8-ball gets to go out and Bets worries. Occasionally, 8-ball brings Bets gifts of snake or bird. which makes Bets REALLY wish he was indoor only!!

I arrived home to find messages on both phones from my cleaning service of choice and there was a cancellation tomorrow. I'm in but won't be here. I trust them completely, but it's weird and embarrassing to think someone(s) will be here tomorrow while I'm not home to attempt to clean up our collective mess.

Go for it, I say!

It's unbelievable what they did. I still have to organize/file/shred my sliding piles of paper, but my house is SO CLEAN!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I woke up this morning at 8:30 and thought "shiite, late again!!" then realized it's Saturday (okay, I had to check the calendar to make sure). My cat is calm, my house is clean, it's BEAUTIFUL outside, the windows are wide open and air is flowing.

I'm starting to think I can have a life again. Mazal tov indeed.

Thank you, ladies. Now, you're welcome to stop by.

Streaming the Grateful Dead's Cornell 5-8-77 yet again, I realized that today is the 10th anniversary of my last Grateful Dead show. Jerry was in such bad shape, but I used my backstage pass to get right in front of him and bask in his incredibly awesome aura and listen to the message flowing from his guitar to my soul.

I miss you Jerry.

Thank you Lucy. I hope I affect others, make them laugh when they want to cry. That is the best medicine and the one most needed by myself. And you do that for me.

I love you, too.

Jury Summons for today, June 30, 8:15 a.m., is cancelled. It's delayed service for me, rescheduled from 5/31. Does that exempt me for 3 years?

I now have new DSL that includes free wireless. I'm sure some access-less lopes are pirating as I type. How to prevent?

I had my annual performance review today and scored way too high based on absences alone in the past year. Lighter being allows better creativity thus more work. So says boss (sort of, I tend to interpret).

Pretty good day overall. As long as I don't have pneumonia (lights another goddnam butt), all is well in Switzerland. We're moving HQ to Canada soon, but will be here for patriotic festivities. Can't wait to see The View from the golf course and associated peoples.

Love to all, from a new IP,

Just back from a rude dsl interruption. I was hung up on thrice. I'd practically used the service for less than 2 hours.

Hello! Never hang on hold and let your first question (after, "what's your name, again, please?") be "what did you ask?" It should definitely be "I want a number where I get a fcuking human being answering instead of Ms. Call Queue."

My advice, from me to you all. 'Cause I like you.
