While watching Apothecary Diaries.
Austin: I regret pushing you to do Meatless March.
Me: I’m fine. [For now.]
Austin: Watching MaoMao just now reminds me of how similar the two of you are. Forcing you to go vegetarian for a whole month is like forcing a cat to take a bath.
Austin: I learned—
Me: You learned?!?!
Austin: I learned that if you put Vicks VapoRub on your chest, you better wash your hands thoroughly; otherwise, next time you go to bathroom, you’re going to hurt yourself.
My cat Ethel, who used to be over 20 lbs., fits in my slipper. Almost. Is it exercise and a new lust for life? Or something demonic? You decide.
Me: Next weekend is Valentine’s Day. Do you still want to sign up for yoga?
Austin: Sure. Maybe they’ll have hot naked couples yoga.
Me: I assume it was Tess (the dog) who used a puppy pad last night.
Austin: I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t awake. All I know is it wasn’t me.
Me: have I told you how much I love you today?
Austin: No.
Me, as snow is coming down, 10 inches so far: I love you more than the snow that’s on the ground.
Austin: Don’t worry, it will melt in no time.
