thanks! and it wasn't just spoken, there's a written report of it in my file, so I'm sure it will work in my favor the next time the promotion to Sr. Advocate comes along (the one I was disappointed that I didn't get recently).

Though once this Christmas I left the powdered sugar out while I ran to the store to get some stuff for a dessert I needed to make. ...aand came home and she'd had a sugar party...wWhite covered with little coon footprints everywhere with the dogs licking it and making it all sticky...and usually I just laugh at stuff like that and clean up ( after all I choose to live with her) . But on that day I was so tired and stressed and behind schedule i yelled at all of them and then collapsed on the couch....and she crawled up to my leg, tugged on my pants like she used to when she was a baby , and held out her arms for a hug. ....i think she is actually smart enough to manipulate my feelings on purpose but I didn't care....

I wish there was a lol button here! Thanks and hugs is not enough!!!

Not mine, she's pretty dumb. But, you can't have beauty and brains in the same package! She's a gorgeous, sleek, black kitty who is often found chasing her tail ("it . . . Follows me! It haunts me.") And, was at one point, fascinated with the toaster ('til that one time when she got too close to it). My chinchilla is smarter than her, I think. He always tries to start **** with her from behind the safety of his cage.
Animals are truly the best form of therapy.

My son is off finishing up the last day of his junior year in HS. Wasn't he just born a few months ago?! I am working a later shift the rest of this week and next to assist in training, so I'm off to the pool to swim a bit and ponder where in the world the past 16 years have gone.

May 21, 2015, 10:21 AM

I take that part about swimming back. It's only 67 degrees this morning!! too cold to swim!! dagnabit. lol

May 21, 2015, 10:27 AM

I avoid water that is cooler than *googles Fahrenheit* 90°F or so. Which means bathtub. Sadly, we don't have one...

I've been trying to write something about this morning's T session, all day. Doesn't seem to happen. Suffice it to say that I have quite the T hangover.

oops I should have said 67 degrees fahrenheit.

the pool just barely opened this past weekend so the water is still really-really cold, I need warmer air! lol

I actually feel a little... nostalgic maybe? thinking about t hangovers..... haven't had one in awhile... not that I miss them per se, but... well... you know.....

Weird how sometimes we miss things that weren't necessarily positive.

Hi Lola! Yep... I guess what I actually miss is talking them over with t after the fact, and hearing the understanding in her voice.

Yeah, what's with this weather? It's been unusually cool lately. Not that I'm complaining or anything. By July we'll be hammered.

The seven year old has been trying to get me to go in the pool with her. She'll be in there, shivering, trying to tell me it's not cold. Yeah. Right. Not buyin' it kid...

RedSun · May 21, 2015, 11:30 AM

Hey couch
It's beautiful here today
I feel a w f u l

AND I've never even seen a racoon

Ellahmae · May 21, 2015, 11:30 AM

I want to live in a place where the average temp is 63F and rainy everyday.

JustShakey · May 21, 2015, 11:34 AM

I have the pre-therapy shakes. Business as usual chez Shakey... Well, see you all in the other side

feel better!! Look at some pictures of raccoons, they are wonderful. I love raccoons (minus the whole rabies thing). I loved the raccoon in Guardian of the Galaxy . . . He was probably my favorite part of the whole movie.

Yeah, the good thing about being a grownup is not having to get in the pool (or the lake, or the sea)!

Art, no need to specify Fahrenheit. You don't want to swim in water that's 67°C
