Let me just jet in for later tonight -- while everyone's getting their own dinner, I'll spirit you to a bar where we'll order flights of wine and cheese and make all of this no good bad horrible day just fade away. ♥

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE BEST, MISS NOUS!

And I just rescued a cat from our horrible thunderstorm with hail happening right now. HOW DID HE SNEAK OUTSIDE?! More importantly, WHY DID HE? (also, I am laughing at how bedraggled and woebegone poor Boy Kitty is.)

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Awww, poor sweet soppy boy kitty *wraps him up even if he's already dry*

Yay for him being rescued, though! He sounds very daredevil-ish, what with the sneaking out. Que misterioso!

HUGORAMA!!!!Jaysus. I had to rest after reading the 'what I actually did' list. *sends you some of my nap energy*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Can I just come sit in your lap? how about that, good? ;)

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Sorry that your day has derailed so spectacularly. I'll meet up with you and Ms. Nous and buy the second flight.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

And then the last round is on me. <3 (Thanks. Oy. Are y'all getting this hail yet?)

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

No hail though the temperature dropped about twenty five degrees and it's been pouring rain. Good thing I have this cold or I would have been out on my walk when it blew through *glass half full*

Oh, darlin'. All that driving! Yeck.

I think to-do lists should routinely contain items like "fix unexpected shit" or "become a miracle worker" because isn't that always how it turns out anyway? And wouldn't it feel good to cross off "miracle worker?" Like, yes, I did that today -- I rule.

Also, HI, HOW ARE YOU (other that incredibly, insanely busy)? I feel like I've been such a ghost lately, so, if I haven't said it at all, I'm so excited to read about your gardening show.

Hugs and face smooshes to you.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

hello hello, you!!

True fact: I add things to my to do list just so I can cross them off Like breathe in and out

or

make to do list

:D (I am excited about the show, too!! So happy to hear that you are, as well!)

Psst. Colorado is lovely this time of year. Ok, well not RIGHT NOW maybe, but in general. By Friday! Yes.

You know what Colorado has that I don't? SPACE AWAY FROM MY FAMILY.

I have a guest room and a hot tub. Any time.

*pours wine*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're good.

[ladycyndra.livejournal.com]

*Sends over a huge pot of chicken soup for sick kid* *also sends over premium booze for you*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I LIKE BOTH OF THOSE IDEAS.

As previously stated:

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE.

Also hugs. Boozy, boozy, boozy hugs, but not the kind from that one aunt that gets totes sloshed at holiday and gives you IRON HUGS OF BOOZE. Just nice ones.

Busy day is busy... Go get a drink.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

Nobody should have to have a dentist visit, a sick kid, and a therapy session all in the same day. Not to mention all the other things like claw marks... You deserve a foot rub and a glass of wine. Also a large slice of cake.
