Dec. 3rd, 2013 02:19 am* I long believed that Congressfolk should get the exact average quality of health care at the same proportion of their income as the average citizen in their state. I am increasingly of the opinion that they should have to live on salary equivalent to what they'd get on social security and a Food Stamp stipend. They would not be allowed to touch other assets while in office. I bet that would stop them claiming that living on $710 a month out of which one must pay a hundred for Medicare + rent, utilities, clothes, gas, cover medicare copays and OTC drugs is somehow lavish.
* You know how I've been skeptical of the Pope's claims of tolerance? The Catholic Church just pushed through a referendum to ban marriage equality in Croatia. Yep, it was all PR. The Catholic Church is still using it's influence to deny people equal rights.

* Rejoice with me, for I have found the missing bottle of emergency pain meds I have been looking for a month!
* I had a hard time sleeping Sunday between Hector, phone calls, and a collection of physical inconveniences I've been dealing with. I tried to stay up for the floor guys, but had to get Squirrel to do it instead. Today's sleep was too short, but of reasonable quantity. I also managed to pay rent, bills, ordered the Christmas gift baskets for family, found a key piece of paper Hector hid during his anti-paperwork rampage last week, and did a much of small stuff needing doing online and off. I really, really need to finish the bureaucracy and do more packing.
* Hector is behaving the clingy end of normal, for which I'm grateful. For all his energy and "business," he's an elderly gentleman and I was honestly scared the strain of his adventure might prove to much for him. We still need to give him a third washing to solve problems like the grease spot between his ears, and I've been trying to think of ways to make it less traumatic for him. (Kitchen sink and sacrifice a toothbrush maybe?)
Mache has been having a puzzling couple of days. First her boy disappears. Then the humans inexplicably bring a stranger cat into the den and insist on treating him like he's in the clowder. Her hissing and complaints solved nothing as the humans kept defending the stranger and the strange boy seemed to not understand the hissing was directed at him! The stranger is sleeping in all Hector's favorite spots and getting pets while he eats just like her cat! The nerve of him! I think she's figured out that the stranger is actually her Hector. I've spotted her sniffing him periodically in a quizzical fashion a number of times and she joined his protest in favor of goosh two nights in a row. (The protest was ignored. They get goosh three times a week).
* Re: Walking Dead: I feel it too, but it made narrative sense, and it was clear it couldn't not happen. I was worried they'd drag that other thing out and was grateful they didn't. Seriously, this episode worked better than most of their things do, so I'm okay with it.
