Yuki singing badly… Ah, so familiar. Gotta love Jeff's new attire. Kaida is behaving a bit differently now that she's alone with Yuki.

The space heater is modeled after my own. I never knew about such things until recently. A couple years ago, me, my sister, Gael, and Bethany moved into a three story house (built in the 40's we think but recently renovated) and discovered that big old houses get VERY cold. The single vent in the second story hallway is not enough to heat even one cubic yard around the vent itself – and gas is expensive. So, we all invested in electric space heaters… eventually. For the first few weeks (this was early-ish spring during a cold snap) we froze. I started sacrificing old clothes to be bedding for my pet rats. (I called them rat-cicles.) It was cute how even in their giant ferret cage, all fourteen of my girls would be located within about 6 square inches, piled on top of each other and trying to dig to the bottom of the pile. They are my thermometer. Rats in a pile = cold. Rats laying out flat side-by-side = hot.

Wow… My train of thought simply soared off the tracks today…


Peipei: Kaida is good at pushing people away… Theoretically, Seiko should be okay. She's an adult with multiple degrees, after all. Not a very nice Christmas, though, and a hard time for relocating.

Triss: Oh yeah, it stings.
