it is early. again.

Whatever part he may have played in the feline fecal uprising across town, it's EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to remain cross with Max when his Dignified Old Man Floof is being accentuated by the Tinkerbell costume he's been wearing happily for the last hour.

unexpectedly unpleasant kitty surprises at the apartment mean i have an overabundance of gross laundry to do. max at least made up for whatever his part in the mess was by being exceptionally well behaved while i dragged him back across town to my mom's with me.

hello, it is very early.

Got a ride back from mechanic because the time estimate was going to cut close to the muppet's afternoon bus drop-off; going to put on the Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie because of conversational drift - Rue saw David McCallum on the train, and now we are here.

I'm sure this has been the case before now, but I can't remember if I've noticed or commented on it before: since my regular mechanic's is also a tire place, the table in the waiting area is a glass-topped tire.

...I just figured out when I stopped remembering to check in / open this on the daily. When I replaced my phone cause the screen didn't work, they couldn't direct transfer all of my stuff because a dead touchscreen won't let you hit an 'accept' button. I lost all of my most recently added numbers, and all the apps that weren't pre-loaded.

so i kind of just did this on not quite a whim (i'm going to be out there either all of october or the same amount of time but split up over late oct/early nov), but also it's the first time i've tried to do the thing & i am kind of terrified.

(also hi things have been... intense. still are. but i <3 and miss y'all especially.)

evie immediately getting up in arms to argue mutant rights as we watch x1, and then asking "mom, what would you do if i was a mutant? like that one cool teleporting dude, or something?" my immediate near-response is, "well, we'd find you a good teacher, of cour- er." my actual response, after some consideration, ends up, "well, we'd do our best to get by."
