Yes. It�s Wednesday� which is THERAPY(ISH) DAY (okay, it�s only an hour, but it might as well be the WHOLE DAMN DAY) as it always THROWS ME for the whole day. Yikes. ((Oy. Oy to the 3rd power.)).

AND�

With all the CRAZY-CHOWDER that�s been FILLING OUR CUPS lately (with little sad-faced fish-shaped crackers floating at the top), I�ve been quite pre-occupied, but�. MUCH has started to STIR and OCCUR and TRANSPIRE up here in the hills� Sooooo.. I need to interrupt this otherwise INTROSPECTIVE TIME I�m spending with MY INNER CHILD on THERAPY DAY to give y�all some

MUCH OVERDUE�.DAMN UPDATES:

First DAMN UPDATE:

�LUCKY� (previously of �LUCKY� and �THE HOMEWRECKER�)�

� LUCKY� is now sorta-settled(ish) (although still putting together a few last pieces of SJKORK and FLAGGEN from IKEA�) and in her new place. Unpacked, and�kinda just sitting with the empty boxes and the empty heart. The other day she received an EMAIL from �THE HOMEWRECKER� with assorted �blah� and �blehck� tying up loose ends and ending with the question �CAN WE BE FRIENDS�?

My answer� when I heard this: NO! NO DAMN WAY!!!

�Friends� don�t treat each other the way THE HOMEWRECKER has treated LUCKY.

Enemies don�t even treat each other that way, for the love of chicken-parts.

In that same EMAIL, �THE HOMEWRECKER� informed �LUCKY� that she had Quit her job, and� �LUCKY� has quickly �done the math� and come to the conclusion that �THE HOMEWRECKER� has gone and found herself a SUGAR MAMA. That�s right� �THE HOMEWRECKER� left �LUCKY� for a LESBIAN SUGAR MAMA.

�LUCKY� is torturing herself, imagining all the things that the LESBIAN SUGAR MAMA is doing for/buying for/taking care of for �THE HOMEWRECKER� and feeling like a LOSER (wrong!) for not being able to do that for THE HOMEWRECKER when they were together� and you know what? Fuck that. Big time. �LUCKY� did SO MUCH for �THE HOMEWRECKER��and it turns out that it just wasn�t ENOUGH. Obviously in addition to BUYING the food for her, THE HOMEWRECKER would like to have someone CHEW, SWALLOW and DIGEST IT for her. Good riddance. I wish she�d STOP EMAILING LUCKY.

In the meantime� LUCKY�s CAT (and 1/2 the set of her CAT & DOG combo) wandered away in the NEW NEIGHBORHOOD and hasn�t been seen in 2 weeks. SIGNS have been put up EVERYWHERE� but so far, NO LUCK for LUCKY. It�s not right, right?

To lose THE PERSON YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEND YOUR LIFE WITH (but they changed their mind) and� AND� your CAT of 10 years� in the same brief period� well, damn�. That just ��AINT NO GOOD.

Indeed.

Keep your good thoughts coming for LUCKY.

Okay� suddenly�it�s getting LATE IN THE DAY� and TOO MANY THINGS interrupted THIS UPDATE� so I�ve gotta go�.

I PROMISE� SWEAR�MAKE AN OATH� to give y�all THE BILL AND SUE UPDATE tomorrow. This is my VOW.

P.S. In case I haven�t mentioned it lately:

I have THE MOST AMAZING GIRLFRIEND /SAME-SEX PARTNER/LADY-LOVER/MEAL TICKET/HOW DOES SHE PUT UP WITH ME in the whole, wide, damn, crazy WORLD.
