(I've been up too long, I can't stop typing, and I'm still mentally editing photos after putting up 21 in a single blog post today. Where's the tequila?) 1. Hair? What hair? Look at that smile, look at that scarf! I don't see no hair. Glad you're back, hope you're enjoying the lovely 'ahh, settling back into home' feeling. 2. Doo-hickey: a) elegant potted plant base; b) loose change and key catcher somewhere handy to front door; c) avante-garde candy dish; d) large candle holder; e) equally large *and* avante-garde coaster for huge mugs of favorite hot winter beverages; f) art to be enjoyed by propping up on edge on a mantelpiece or similar, where you can frequently eye it admiringly. Whatever it is, it surely is a lovely doo-hickey! Beautiful glaze, beautiful designs - looks very Japanese. 3. Ok, yes, I'm a cat-lover, but Zeno *does* look like he's planning to gnaw off your ears when you die. That stare, the tip of the tongue peeping out, the curl of the paw... He is *so* planning to grab you. I know that look. (My parents' cat Sam. Ambush from doorways expert. Ankles. I don't wanna talk about it.) But he does look adorable in the meatloaf pose, regardless... (Ok, I'm catfood walking, that's all we can say.) 4. Truck and Anya: Well, think of it this way. If she manages to get the truck outta there, maybe you can find a still running, but disreputable, truck to replace it! Something that will look horrid enough, but be usable enough that it can't simply be discarded. In fact, I know just the truck: completely rusted-through spots in the body, such as the floor; doors that are close to falling off and refuse to stay closed; horrible shocks; disintegrating upholstery. But still running. Now, if we could just figure out how to persuade my friend's non-boyfriend to get *rid* of it. 5. Lorinda - ROFLMAO on the rhyming family and Dou Hih Kee! 6. Shutting up now.

You should teach a class. Love the doo-hickey (although since it has an Asian flavor, it's probably actually a Dou Hih Kee). And the scarf, ah the scarf. The Hair Fairy visited you from sheer jealousy at the fabulousness (personally I think your hair looks fine). Maybe you should knit her one? Something in gossamer I think. My daughter pronounces Zeno perfect in every way and wishes to meet him. He could come live with us and our Gino. Nothing like a rhyming family. We do suffer from a lack of derelict trucks though, so he probably would prefer to stay with you. It’s amazing how quickly you move through the stages of grief to acceptance, my friend.

With that scarf on, you could have hair that looks like, well, mine on most days, and nobody would even notice. Ah, that's it, I must make that scarf so I can let my hair do what my hair wants to do (which is what I do anyway, now that I think about it!) But it would be better with that scarf. As for the truck, I'm with Diane. This could take a while. It will give you time to adjust. Tears are good. First off, the scarf is gorgeous.

If your landlord can ignore it for as long as he already has, what makes you think that Anya will budge him or the truck?
