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

A Cat-Shaped Hole in the World

Some people would write a beautiful eulogy, but I really can’t. This is Menace. He’s lived with me for nearly twelve years, since my husband Chris mysteriously “found” him and his brother wandering outside our apartment at about six weeks old. My husband died ten years ago. Today Menace went to live with Chris. Those of […]

Things I Want Done

From my post of a day or two ago… Apply for Davidson (another job. I keep wibbling about applying. It’s a lateral move, so the only reason to do it would be if I don’t think I can work things out with current principal) Removed from list. Friend called me and gave me the low-down

Silly Wandering Pterodactyl

Silly Wandering Pterodactyl

Lost my pterodactyl again. Last night I got home from work late and dove right into the homework. Got almost all of it done before the roomie called for me to pick her up from her evening class. Went and got her, grabbed some food, came home and fell over. Completely forgot about 750words. I
