I have to leave the house at quarter to seven to buy stuff for church today. I forgot to do it yesterday. I forgot to do anything except some transcription, some laundry and some cooking. Still no snow tires, yes I am lazy.
It was good to see Keith.
Brief realization
Generally, people who work in slaughterhouses don’t become vegetarian. So, PETA, making comments about how people would become vegetarians if they really knew what goes on in slaughterhouses will not fly.
I appear to have made an ass of myself
To preserve Katie’s dignity and privacy I’ll say little about her disappearance, but it ain’t been swell for her and she has resurfaced at the home of a friend. This is what touched my heart while she was gone…..

For my dad
It’s steampunk, it’s a repeater. Hopefully he’ll forgive me that it’s French.
Still no sign of Katie. I’ll be talking to Paul, who’s off today, to go to where I think she is prior to calling the cops.

And I could spew
Katie hasn’t shown up for work for two weeks now…. True, she had a week off, but they would like to know if she’s still planning on working there. So I’ve left messages, and wailed on facebook, and texted her, and left more messages, and it matters not, because she’ll call when she’s good and ready.
I made it to work but
There’s four inches on the ground and it’s still snowing like a pillowfight. Going home is gonna be INNARESTING.
Note to self, really must get new fracking snow tires.
Robert Penrose I love you
Snowing and assfreezing cold
Work is, like, amazing. I feel like I’m looking at the stars, and they’re just the little lights you get when you’ve hit a wall abrumptly (deliberate typo). Yet everyone is so nice, and I feel so fortunate.
Katie is refusing to answer the phone or talk to me except a terse ‘alive’ on facebook. I have no idea if she even typed that message. Some folks you can’t do favours for, so I’m going to do myself a favour and just ignore all of this.
Ziva, how I love your heater.
I really, really need snow tires. Not enough tread and too much slippery from cold road surfaces.

back to work
It is freezing in this house… but that’s because it’s freezing everywhere.
I think Katie quit her job but is too scared to tell me. I will know more later.
If my parents had really loved me….
….they would have built me one of these,
I had a lovely day yesterday
Now I have to open church.
I think I have heard everything now. Eddie just imitated Margot’s snorking noise, but very softly, as if he was trying it on for size.
