My Own Stupid Fault: Saturday, in the unseasonably, obscenely HOT weather, I got a sunburn. And, as I don’t do anything half-assed, I am in all kinds of pain two days later. After having worn my bathing suit all weekend (it was what I was wearing when I got burned and therefor the only thing that didn’t hurt) I wore a tube top to work this morning with a lacy bolero over it. It seemed fine. Seemed being key here. When one of my tits fell OUT of my shirt while I was signing a shipping notice for a delivery man, who then chuckled and said, “Heh, heh. Nothing I haven’t seen before. Heh.” I realized my attire wasn’t exactly work appropriate. I got some safety pins. Then I spent the rest of the day in pain and mortified. Lovely.
A little Theme song action: Most of the days of the week have theme songs for me… they aren’t always apropos of the happenings of the day, but they pop into my head all the same. On Mondays, it’s quite appropriately I don’t like Mondays - by Tori Amos*. I am a big fan of Tori, and not only because we have very similar names.
Tragedy: This morning I was feeling pretty sorry for myself it being Monday and my sunburn and all. But then I found out that one of my co-workers sisters was murdered during a robbery over the weekend and another of my co-workers was in a horrific car accident. And suddenly I was overwhelmed, not because it was Monday, nor because my shoulders were on fire. But because, holy fucking shit, what kind of world do we live in? Suddenly things were put into perspective and I’m alive, so maybe I should just shut the hell up already.
A question for the cat people: I have a kitten, well, she’s not really a kitten anymore, but she’s perpetually tiny and likely to be always thought of as a baby. Anyway, she’s absolutely gorgeous and she’s got this haughty nature that I adore. She’s got a theme song, too. “Charlotte the harlot, the whore we all adore…” There are more lyrics, but thats a pretty good gist. Anyway, she’s become a killer. I’m not a fan of needless killing by anyone, animals not being an exception. She isn’t hungry. She’s playing. She brings the animals IN THE HOUSE, still alive but maimed… and it’s awful. She’s especially fond of snakes and squeaky shrews, but is not against things like birds, mice and really large beetles. I put a bell on her collar, hoping that might give the other animals some warning, but she cleverly tucks her chin down to silence it and continues merrily on. What can I do about this?

Make Charlotte an “inside only” kitty. I think she will gradually set aside those nasty predatory instincts as she gets older and lazier.
Sunburns are the worst! LOL @ “tube top”, I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I have heard that. At least it was only one tit and not both of ‘em. ;)
I am so sorry about your co-worker. :(
Sorry about the tragedies, it sure does put things in a different light, I’ve been whining about a cold…sheesh.
Sorry about the impromptu flashing, but I bet the delivery guy was a happy camper:)
I’m so sorry about all of the bad stuff happening! Why does it always come in bursts like that? It sucks, :(
I guess you didn’t have to tip the delivery guy, did you?
The second I get home (or sooner!) after getting sunburned, I LOAD on the hand/skin lotion ,and I mean LOAD. THICK. I let it soak in, and repeat-OFTEN… ALOE on it really cools it down too….. I also take 2 or 3 asprins right away, and start drinking ALOT of water (I always drink alot of water, so I just drink a bunch more beyond that…).. While, this is by no means a ‘cure-all’, it DOES help GREATLY reduce the peeling and jump starts the healing process, as well as lessens the fever/chills … Sunburns SUCK, but the first sunburn of the year…SUPREMELY SUX!! ===RE:”Costume Malfunction”/’Foop’ - Inadvertantly, you’ve made a shitty,boring job a REALLY exciting one for one guy(and probably his best buddy too…’cause guys being guys and all…:) ========= SO SORRY to hear about the tragic end to two people’s lives…it really does put EVEYTHING into perspective…. ==== Song of the Day part deux: 311’s “Fuck The Bullshit” ====== re: Killaaaa Kitty: I think it’s all part of “The Incredible (and sometimes Unbearable) Lightness of Being a Cat” … They are SUPPOSED to hunt, it is the VERY Fiber of their Soul. The fact she doesn’t eat them is just because she doesn’t have to, TRUST ME (HEHE!!),because you feed her regularly, if she was hungry, she WOULD eat ALL of them!! *** IMPORTANT NOTE: Impress Strongly upon Duncan: DO NOT TO TRY TO PICK UP THE MOUSE (or take it or ANY critter away from the cat),as the mouse WILL bite him and he’ll have to get a TETANUS SHOT at the hospital(It REALLY HURTS, I K-N-O-W from personal experience!! I tried that EXACT THING when I was 9….) == I came home one Thanksgiving about 12 years ago, and found an ENTIRE Full Grown RABBIT, or rather what was left of it- ALL, and I mean A-L-L over the house. It was a “Gift” from my Jasper(RIP)…..
After a while, when you hear that tiny, squeeky, ‘teeth sucking sound’, you ALREADY KNOW what it is…. -O:
