Lighting a candle

Vogue
Thank you for your individuality, your loyalty, and for all the stories you’ve starred in. Your people will miss you greatly, but you left a cat-shaped hole in other hearts as well.

And damn, do I have a bad feeling about this. We’re a good company, and we try to do things right. But so many things on this audit are “anything less than 100% is failing.” And I simply can’t guarantee that everything is going to go right 100% of the time. If any of about…
Ran to the post office today and got two little boxes to mail little things in. Ran home, packed said little things, used way too much tape shutting little things into little boxes, and ran back out to the post office. About five feet from the garage door on my second trip to the post…
There once was a kitten with wings Who did many kitten-like things. She tangled with kites, And took long lazy flights After anything airborne that sings. ~Lawrence J.

I’ve been incredibly busy since the class ended and I took the Pharm Tech certification exam. I finally started making beads again after a several month hiatus. I’m sending out resumes and applications for work to any place I think will give me some decent experience. I’ve tended to the gardens a bit, though I…
Oh dear…
So sorry.

What a gorgeous little face! I really wish I had known her.
rest in peace Vogue, i didn’t know you but i do know that your kind are true innocents in the world and bring amazing amounts of joy with no strings attached.
