Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Being married and having a family is great. Just don't expect much action, always expect to be told what to do and criticized, never get enough sleep, live in a place not of your choosing, expect to be awaken in the middle of the night to kill bugs without a thank you, always be aware of fish knives, realize that crazy cat ladies don't need to be single, remember that the dirty look is coming when you have that 2nd or third beer and what was I talking about again.

???
 
Last summer my brother called me a cat lady, he was drunk and I was ******. Crazy dog person, sure. He later apologized.
 
You claiming that one, auntie?
My mom can lay claim to the crazy cat lady.
She has 3 cats in the house and a whole lot more feral cats that she feeds. I think she said there are sometimes 13 of them. All the females and some of the males have been caught and spayed/neutered. There is a clinic that does ferals for free. On the plus side she doesn't need to worry about mice anymore.

There are four ferals now - two big toms (one yellow, one white with a couple of small black dots) and two that we assume are female (a calico and Button - who is still with us). We have no free spay/neuter clinic here so we simply can't afford to fix other peoples' discarded cats, and the local shelter is not a no kill, so I'm not excited about taking feral cats there. We've mostly found homes for the kittens that have shown up, with one major exception. We had one mom cat with a litter of around 9 or 10. Those we took to the shelter in hopes that their cuteness would get them adopted.

The indoor cats are all fixed though.
 
I grew up on an acreage and we had a feral one eyed tom that we named Pirate. He came and went as we pleased and he took what he wanted out of the dog's bowl. That was over 40 years ago but when I hear this song by Stray Cats I think of him.

It's nice walking into the bank and they know your name.

You bank at Cheers?

I seem to always be late to the show...

So at previous job, someone burned popcorn in the microwave. I had to walk through the smoke cloud twice, walking to and from the bathroom. Next morning, while washing my hair, I'm trying to figure out the weird scent I'm smelling. Turns out the burned popcorn smoke had gotten "trapped" in my hair, and wetting it released the smell.

Blech.

Well smoke is hot and hot air rises so your hair was right in the thick of it. KC would have been fine since she flies at a lower altitude....would have walked right under it.
