Hugs, Art...I wonder if your H is reacting in some way to your Mom being there? Not that it excuses his actions...hope he still goes to your son's graduation.

Thanks. I don't know. He yelled at me earlier too because I didn't serve him ice cream fast enough. I don't know wtf that was about.

The lime-pineapple slaw was super easy. I just made it up, since I found a half a cabbage and a lime in the fridge, and pineapple left from putting pineapple juice in the pork marinade: Half a cabbage, a couple grated carrots, zest of the lime, the pineapple chunks chopped fine. Sauce is the lime juice, the rest of the pineapple juice plus some pineapple chunks, a little honey, sprinkle of chipotle powder, spoonful of mayo, s&p all thrown in the blender. It tastes pretty good.

Hugs, Art.

I just called H and told him I'm overwhelmed. His response: "Well, it has to get done".

Ugh. I feel horribly restless. If I get done chopping and need more busy-ness, there's beans and sunflowers to plant in the garden.

Wanna clean up some cat spitup on a window screen?

You can still get out. You can always get out.

If you wait long enough, it will go away on its own. Or just sort of harden but it doesn't really hurt anything but eventually it will go away (rain, snow, freezing and thawing etc will do its thing in time). (My housekeeping philosophy is a tad lax)
In my house the dogs compete to see who gets to clean up after the cats. It is like they think they are vending machines or something. I would be more concerned a dog would fall out of the window licking too hard on the screen.

And as to tater tots. I had one dog who trained me to buy her tater tots after her (more my) herding lesson every week or so. When we would get close she would stand up in anticipation and if I passed up the Sonic(I think it sonic that has them), she would start crying and generally giving an oscar level performance of despair until I turned around to get them. The one time the place was closed (fire I think) I had to buy her a whole mcdonald's hamburger. She rejected the fries.
But she wasn't spoiled or anything.

Then how do you know when the witness is lying?

It's because you love him.

See, I figure if a bunch of Couchies form a human pyramid so we can reach the fifth floor, the top person will be able to clean it.

Home nurse saw the bandage on my stomach while cleaning the other wound. I was trying to hide it but my daughter kept trying to lift my shirt up to nurse. She asked what's up with the bandage and I told her "Nothing." She asked if I wanted her to look at it, and I told her no and she respected that and said she respected my honesty. She seemed content with me telling her that I told my T that I SHed last night and she left it at that.
