I forgot to categorize it. Might mean something. Probably doesn’t.

Our Tiny Criminal

I live with a career felon feline. Don’t let the cuteness fool you. This is the most unrepentant criminal you will ever meet. Was Michael Jackson singing about a cat all those years ago? I don’t know, but he could have been. (Just checked the lyrics, and hell to the no.) (Totally didn’t take a […]

A Scattered Wednesday Post

Welp. The feline has exited the containment device. I mean, we set it free, but anyway. I have mixed feelings, and I’m not ready to talk about it yet. But I will say that I am eternally grateful to my TDP colleagues. I would say I’ll miss them horribly, but I won’t, because I won’t

Okay, But…

Best laid plans, blah blah blah… Right now my family is in a hotel. I, the one with a car, am hanging out at the house with the cat (and using my computer, obviously) and going over to the hotel for all water needs. Why? Because last Sunday morning we woke up to multiple rooms

Ten Years We’ve Been Rusting…Not

School starts tomorrow. My kids are coming back! Along with a bunch of new faces. That’s going to be interesting–we don’t normally have a lot of turnover in the student body, but we had a number of graduates last May, and also we didn’t replace students as we lost them to moves and such over
