New Limitations
Sandra has suggested to Beloved Partner that I now become a house cat. Beloved Partner, ever quick on the uptake, is a little more generous. He says I can still drive and cycle--but only if I contract with all other drivers to stay off the road whilst I'm on it.

um...
while i want to do everything i can to support, encourage, & maybe even expand upon your Beloved Partner's desires to keep you safe and whole, i have to interject a little logistical reality into his otherwise-lovely plan...
if you're going to be a house cat still involved in even half the intriguing and intricate intellectual endeavors you've got already cooking (and nevermind all you intend), dependent as they are on collaboration with other living, breathing beings you'd probably rather not reduce entirely to pixelated media...you're going to have to get a closer house.

Tell me again, tall hairless biped, just how it is you think you have what it takes to be a housecat? It takes a lot of work to make it look as effortless as I do...

I think I'm the world's only tall hairless biped who has a cat who IMs and blogs.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to go overboard anthropomorphizing my girl. Loopiness loves company.

Anthropomorphizing? I object! It's a *fact* that Teakettle IMs with my friends, and you can see here that she blogs, as well. *I* didn't put that post from her here!
Loopiness? Guilty as charged. I may not be anthropomorphizing, but I'm loopy, all the same.
