Midwestmutt, sympathetic hugs from both of us. I know how hard it is to lose a long-loved pet.

Thanks everyone for the sympathy. I'm going to mourn for some time and then get a rescue or two from the local shelter. Meanwhile here is one of the last pictures I took of Kitty, as we always called her. Chew-chew was her formal name but it never really stuck.   https://64.media.tumblr.com/9c626988d187e4ea17dfd8dcd33c3d50/2fb08d21eb8936f4-57/s540x810/2d600de726bff236efe912a44f2101c6a02483a3.jpg

Aw, whoops, I reblogged your post with a light-hearted comment about the blep, before I came in here and saw your message.  I am so sorry, both for your loss and the appearance of making light of your loss.

Adding myself to the chain of hugs, midwestmutt! Those little furry pieces of joy do steal a bit of our hearts...

It's OK Wavewright, the picture is meant to be a happy one. Blepping kitties are so cute.

I was baking today, and thinking about a bunch of work-related stuff that I'm not looking forward to doing tomorrow, and thought, "All I want to do is bake." And then this happened. I'd say I'm sorry, but I don't think that I really am.

Spoiler: show

All I Want to Do Is Bake
A filk of All She Wants to Do Is Dance by Don Henley

They’re turnin’ out the patients
And puttin’ ’em in hotels
And all I want to do is bake, bake
Virus been virus
Since there have been cells
And all I want to do is bake

Antibody cocktail, coveted drink
And all I want to do is bake, bake
Powerful and rich
Get it in a blink
And all I want to do is bake

Crazy people walkin’ around with mask under nose
And all I want to do is bake, bake
Wild-eyed conspiracy theorists who won’t do as they’re told
And all I want to do is
All I want to do is bake
Make pies and cakes
I can’t feel the stress
Of livin’ through this mess
I want to cut in
I want to leaven
All I want to do is
All I want to do is bake

Well the government closed the restaurants
The gyms and hair salons
And all I want to do is bake, bake
To keep the plague from spreadin’
Into fragile seniors’ homes
And all I want to do is bake

Yeah but that don’t keep the virus from causin’ quite a chill
And all I want to do is bake, bake
It still can cancel treatments
For other kinds of ills
And all I want to do is
All I want to do is bake
Make pies and cakes

Well we rush to get a supply
Of the first vaccines
As we start to give the doses
To those that have the means
We say, “Don’t come back here, Covid,”
But if it ever does
I’ll buy more flour
‘Cause all I want to do is bake
Make pies and cakes
Never mind the stress
Livin’ through this mess
I want to cut in
I want to leaven
All I want to do is
All I want to do is bake
Make pies and cakes
All I want to do is bake
