The good news from my harrowing experience is that I didn’t die. I didn’t come close to death. Just some short intense pain.
Granted, some would say on LJ that just isn’t enough anymore. To them… I offer the following video.
Thank you lady_babalon for the posting.
Please understand.. I love my shimmeringjemmy more dearly than I can ever express. And the fact that she is 20 weeks along is a wondrous thing.
That being said, she is a territorial sleeper. The bed becomes the board for a game of risk that she slowly annexes through the night. About 10 minutes before she awoke, I realized that she’d rolled herself to cordon off about 70% of the bed.
Her first general is a big, black, ball of fur that often walks into the center of the remaining space and sits in there holding the contents immobile while her leader rolls to annex more space.
This is usually the clue that it’s time for me to abandon my loosing battle for bed-space and go downstairs to perform my task at private, last-class and give refill the food bowl for the aforementioned “Big, black, ball of fur.”
And yet.. it’s more amusing than anything else.
So, there’s an obvious longer post coming today. But a short comment or two first.
Saw a red-ribbon today. This was for supporting AIDS… Or. Aids awareness. I had to ask to be reminded which one was for breasts. Well, Okay.. Breast Awareness.. Or more correctly breast cancer awareness. (Pink)
This evening I looked up awareness ribbons.
Much like a badly designed C++ class it’s great to see how each colour has been overloaded or avoided.
There’s red: which ironically besides AIDS awareness, is also for Pro-Life awareness. It also stands for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome awareness… So you may want to verify your red ribbon wearer is actually championing someone who might not survive.
Then there’s Orange: This is for motorcycle safety as well as feral cats. (No, I’m not kidding)
Periwinkle is for eating disorders. Which too me is kind of cool, ’cause the colour makes me want to vomit.
But my favourite has to be Green Ribbons. Green firstoff is for “safe driving, bipolar disorders, ovarian or prostate cancer.” But most importantly it’s for Tourette’s syndrome awareness.
So, I think I’m gonna start wearing a green ribbon. If people ask, I can look them square in the eye and say:
“Green? What the f*#& is Green for on a ribbon, mo&$er-f*&#er? I’ll f&#(in’ tell you what the g&d-d*mn, sh&#-su&^ing green F(*&in’ ribbon is for, you a&#h*&^. &*# 9#*&#& (*&#&!!!
