Shelter Catstravaganza!

People are the worst.

I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...

I’m with you! I turn 50 next year and I’ve decided to spend the next few months rebirthing myself, body, mind, and soul. We can do this! Also, WW works and is the bomb.

Lord, y’all, I can’t wait for this year to be over. Instead of waiting until Jan. 1 to make to usual changes and resolutions, I decided to jump on it now. I’ve signed up for 5 virtual fitness challenges and joined Weight Watchers. I’ve also decided that I will celebrate all the holidays I’ve missed in my birthday…

Merry Christmas, y’all. It’s Sunday the 27th here, a balmy 27°C, and I’m finally home and able to relax a little. Christmas stresses me the fuck out, mostly because my introverted arse has to be “ON!!!!” for multiple days while family is gathered, and it just wipes me. Plus this year, add into the fact that my health…

The statistics regarding Covid are staggering on their own, even more so with Trump worshippers claiming still that either it’s no big deal, or that it’s some sort of public health “hoax” perpetrated by, um, Democrats and Big Sick. Or Dr. Fauci. I’m kind of surprised they’re not blaming the virus on Hillary, to be…

My uncle died from covid this week. He was living in a VA care facility, and 7 other people there also died. He had a very rough life, marked by severe bipolar disorder. He deserved a better death than dying alone in a hospital without anyone that loved him there to hold his hand. It is enraging to think that the…

Shelter Cat Update!

If I could take a moment to be more self-indulgent than I usually am...

Ugh. My friend is having surgery this week and I am going to take care of her and her family. Taking the redeye tomorrow night and absolutely dreading it. I really hope all the idiots who traveled merely because they wanted to are back home, or at least not flying on the days I am flying. At least I can collect lots…

Someone here needs to go to horny jail. Maybe everyone involved. 

Shelter Catstravaganza!

Hi everyone,

I’ll preface this by saying I was only about 8 when I gave this gift. After my parents got divorced, my Mom took in some foster daughters. She was a full-time student and worker and she thought it would be win-win. The foster sister could look after me and my sisters while my Mom was at school or work. This was in the…

I went to a coworker’s bridal shower; I was around 23 at the time and completely clueless about these things. At the shower were me, 2 or 3 of her other friends/coworkers, and her very prim 50 something boss.

Petty bitch that I am, her baby shower gift was a book on raising children with manners.

Once upon a time, my best friend (a guy, completely platonic) got married. Then I got a real, grown up job. These unrelated events found me trying to catch up to years of generous gift giving from a guy who had a real grown up job for a lot longer. (He got me my first vibrator, which I know seems to make it seem not…

My first husband gave me a CD player, A big expensive toy he knew damn well I didn't want. (I wanted nice, big new bookshelves to house the volumes stacked in piles all over the apartment) I opened it on Christmas day, pasted on a smile for the benefit of the in-laws at whose house we were spending the holiday, and…
