I like it, but not the same.

I did make some key lime & lavender jelly that turned out well. I add a spoonful to plain yoghurt as a treat.

How’s Ivy adopting to the organized chaos of the Beck mansion?

There’s organization?

@Beckdawrek, how organized is the house, and how long does it stay that way when you have to leave for a few days?

Beck managed to get herself locked out of her account. The email she has on-file is somehow not get-able with her current ‘whatever’.

I dunno, man. I split wood and ski. If I understood all this shit, I’d have taken over the goddamn world by now. But I don’t. She is poking me to pester Comp Geek Guy to get her back on-board. I’ve done what I could.

Ivy is being absorbed into the fold like something from that movie _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_ as far as I can tell. That damn Brookie is trying to get her drunk all the time! She spends her time watching Rawhide and keeping Granny Hawkins waiting on her cut-up oranges.

Goddamn, I need a better source of entertainment…

Gato, thanks for the update. Glad Beck’s still home and still up to poking people, and the current problem’s just with the Computer Demons.

No organization except in my brain.

It’s all just chaos.

well, yes. But there’s no way we’re looking forward to that day; and you should put it off as long as reasonably possible.

To be alive is to be tangled up with problems. It’s the nature of things.

The trick is to as much as possible be dealing with the more preferable set of problems. A cat who wants the door opened every five minutes is a problem; but much less so than no cat at all.
