This morning I dragged 5 cat trees, the litter genie, and 3 big litter trays out to the curb. This stuff has been sitting in the cat room since Sasha died, waiting until bulk trash month. All that's left are the area rugs but I'll need help getting them out. It was so hard, both physically and emotionally.

In the past, the beginning of a new series would be the cue to resub to Netflix. But I was so underwhelmed by the last series that I'm going to wait until Netflix offers something else I'm interested in to make the price worthwhile.

What an asshole. He gave me creep vibes when he was on Lewis.

He also co-starred with Joanna Lumley in Sapphire & Steel, which I think is available on Region 1 or region 0 DVDs. There are only 6 stories but each has several episodes.

I'm so sad to read about David McCallum's deaths Man from UNCLE was one of the first tv shows I loved and will always have a special place in my heart.

We got fuck all. It's rained lightly on and off and that's it. I was really looking forward to rainy gusty day and pffft. At least it feels like fall.

It was very difficult to find a sitter who was up to the task of giving Sasha multiple pills twice a day while I went away last year. I finally got one who was happy to learn how to use the pill popper. I used Meowtel if anyone is looking for a sitter.

I'd only been to Protestant weddings and they were essentially "Do you?" "Do you?" "Congrats, now where's the bar?" So the first Catholic wedding I attended was a horrible surprise. The wedding bit is over, let's hit the reception...nooo, you have to sit through an entire mass. Agony.

Brand was surprisingly entertaining on Great British Bake Off, so much so that I started thinking maybe I'd misjudged him. Go with you first instinct, I guess.

So happy to read this, @Bastet!

Someone once had the insanity to say to me that high school is the best years of your life.If I'd believed it, I would've killed myself at 16.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked the GBBO thread and see the episode thread has been hidden now until a new date is confirmed.

I think GBBO restarts in the UK tomorrow, so maybe Friday on Netflix?

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had one of the best endings to a series I've seen.

My rain barrel is almost empty. We've had a rainy spring and summer overall and I've collected the water in 4 buckets in addition to the barrel, and I haven't had to use the hose to water the garden at all. But today I had to tip the barrel to get water out and there's no chance of rain until the weekend, and then it's only 50/50. It's not that I want a hurricane or anything, but a nice little nor'easter would be great.

No social media for me, either. I stopped watching the news because it was too enraging, and Colbert and Seth Meyers because the laughter was not enough to dispel the anger and feeling of hopelessness.

@TattleTeeny, thinking about how other cat furniture is made, maybe get a heavy slab of wood and screw the legs into it?

And the rain of frogs.

It has, indeed.

That's where I'm at. There's only one person I could trust a pet to after I die and they're in another state and have multiple pets of their own. But I really miss having a furry friend to greet me when I come home and sit with me in the evenings.

No...what's going on?

One of the worst parts of having to go back on campus was having to wear shoes. It still annoys me.

Jesus. @Bastet, you're really going through a rough time this month. My fingers are crossed for you and your family, human and feline.

I was going to procrastinate but decided to put it off until tomorrow.

Two of my friends and I use to skip class and go to Niagara Falls. You didn't even need to show ID at the border then.
