word. maru is back. she ran up to the door of the house last night as i rolled in from monica's at 2:30 AM, bearing a gift for us of a still-struggling suffering baby bird that she had been torturing for some time, it seems. before i could stop her, she picked it up and ran into the house with it, and continued to play with it as it screamed it pain. awesome. i had to wake up my dad to take care of that one, i wussed out in a major way.
so things are better, she and i slept curled up together purring, and her ass is NOT going outside until she gets tags for SURE.
i'm smashing up sheetrock for my folks this afternoon and going in to work at 6. the first day was interesting, my first delivery ended up being a bogus prank call. the owner's mom is this no-bullshit tiny italian matriarch who comes in every morning to make the secret family recipe of tomato sauce. a really scary lady. and it's all guys working there, really, this is another theme in my employment history.
the tone of this entry is not so thoughtful, i just woke up a while ago though, and my mom is sitting right here in the office, so i have no regrets. Maru is staring hungrily out the window.
