I almost killed the cat and What is it with Canadians?

The move is horrible and hot-I smell bad,  and I packed away my belt, so now my pants keep almost falling down at inopportune moments  such as  when I am carrying a very heavy microwave down the stairs.    My brother is helping us move today-he is out from the bible belt-and sometimes, the way he laughs and points where something should go in the truck makes me want to hit him.

Kitty Kitty came very near death today when I moved the cat tree/cat cave that SHE HAS NEVER USED  the entire year that we have lived here.  Mostly, it has served as a plant stand.  When I picked it up,  it’s was heaiver then I remembered,  I complained about it all the way out the door.   Downstairs,  My brother yelled “Throw it over the Balcony!  Throw it over the Balcony!”  I was like “I don’t know Moo,  it seems kind of heavy!”  But none the less,  I lugged it over the balcony banister and was getting ready to drop it, with a low and desperate yowl   made me pause  I turned the Cat Tree around and there was kitty kitty, cowering in the cat cave, dangling twenty feet from the ground.     I pulled her back over, and she seems kind of traumatized.    All day my brother has been singing “Kitty Bang Bang” to me  and  a version of MIA’s paper plane like “All I wanna do is bang bang Kitty Kitty”. LIke all the way to the dump, and when we were underloading the matresses.

i feel pretty bad about it.

Another McGill friend is out in the state for a visit and didn’t call.   Dude-What is it with Canadians?  Monica says she got used to it long ago when we lived in Canada.    It’s kind of like me visiting LaSalle and not calling anyone I know in Montreal.  Whatevah.
