Go kitty go!

Artemis just killed another mouse. As far as we can tell--it was still warm when cattitude found it--she successfully hunted while we were home, without our noticing. Probably while we were drowsing through a Scrabble game. just as Cattitude was settling down to eat some ham stew, which would explain why she both wanted and felt entitled to large amounts of ham. Good thing we gave them to her, and let her lick the bowl.

Here, though, I'm thinking "if there's anyone else on my friends list I want that kind of relationship with, I'll tell them." (Or, if I wouldn't, I'm certainly not telling some third party, who won't put things the way I would.


• It's very weird feeling more confident about my body than about my mind/skills--but I'm getting a lot more encouragement on the physical side lately. This ties in to unemployment, mostly, but what triggered it was hesitating to open an LJ support review email, because I expected criticism.


• If my neighbors had a yard, they'd be giving me tomatoes or zucchini around now. Instead, they rang the doorbell and gave us cheese pizza.


• It's not easy resisting the impulse to click on an lj-cut tag labeled "I'm warning you"
