today in meow's honor i will allow stanley to rub her chin red on my shoulder, paw my hair until the excitement is too much to bear and she goes in for the kill. i'll indulge mamushka's every bleated plea for pets and leave the faucet on for esther, resist the urge to pick her up and hold her like a baby just to see the obvious irritation on her face.
j.h., i couldn't be sorrier than i am.
