Catfights and Work

Anyone who isn't a "cat person" should know that when they growl it isn't a good thing. She was kinda asking for it...

After a rough start to the weekend, I find myself in relatively good spirits today for some reason (chatting with good friends last night made a significant difference). I actually dragged myself to the gym this morning and worked out prior to work. I gave a retirement cartoon to a burly coworker who liked it and even gave me a hug (and he's a hottie bear, so most should be jealous). Despite being acting supervisor for two groups this week, it's been good and busy so far.

... though I'll smite the first crybaby here who tries to $#!+ on my good mood.

A Journey for a Smoker

I don't smoke. I grew up around my mom and her siblings, all of whom were smokers. My sister is a smoker and my twin dips snuff. It is not on some moral high ground that I never took it up, but rather I just didn't enjoy any time I tried it. I spoke with my mom this weekend and she's not smoked since January thanks to new medications. I am happy to hear that.

My mom's youngest sister is my aunt Ruth Ann who is possibly the funniest member of my family. I've written about her before. I remember the time she told me how much effort it took for her to START smoking...
