Olive jumped from my nightstand to my dresser. A jump she makes several times a day. Sometimes she flubs it. Yesterday she fatally flubbed and broke her little neck. We were there, helpless to do anything for her as she died in front of us. It was so fucking awful.
Our sweet little girl is gone.

Yesterday, while perusing old weaving mags, this caused me to spit-take at my computer.
I feel like that yarn is doing a lot of heavy lifting...

Been in this house for 7 yrs,and the door from the hs to the garage (the heavy "fire" door) starts pulling away from the hinges.
Dave's fixing it today & discovers most of the screws (that should be at least 2.5" long) are no larger than a penny!
Very surprised they held out as long as they did.

Maybe so many intelligent people tend to be insecure because they overvalue others, and so many idiots are arrogant because they attribute their shortcomings to everyone except themselves.

I'm watching this 1973 horror movie starring Donald Sutherland (Don't Look Now). Davis came in the room, saw this and asked, "Is that Doctor Who?" and now I can't unsee it. Hah!

Just spent FOUR HOURS punching holes with that tiny tool and a mallet. I still have to dye and sew it together, then I never want to see leather EVER AGAIN.

At a new-to-us Asian restaurant tonight, and my husband is blanking on how to say a particular word.
Me: Just think of the woman who gave birth to Etta James.
Him: .....?
Me: Edamame
Him: I'm going to stab you with a chopstick.

When one buys used puzzles, this is to be expected.
One doesn't mind as one is much more of a process person than an end-product person.
