I don't think abortion and gay marriage are the most important things but they are part of whole thing where some conservatives try to control every part of our private lives, telling us what we can and can't do. If some conservatives had their way, they'd tell you what kind of sex you can and can't have with your wife. In fact, they have done that in the past. Some laws are still on the books in some states. It's the whole "they take one freedom, then another, then another and pretty soon, you've got Big Brother for real." I personally have no vested interest in either of those but I do have a vested interest in being left the hell alone to live my life as I see fit as long as it does not harm another person or animal.

I don't feed my cats table scraps. I'd never be able to eat in peace if I did. Mercury always tries to get at my plate anyway and I have to be firm with him. That's even if he's just eaten. Phoenix, when I'm the kitchen, thinks Mom's going to give him salad greens. He's my little lettuce thief and I do always give him lettuce when I'm fixing salads. But that doesn't upset his tummy and I haven't had any for a week or so anyway. My tummy upset is probably from NOT eating a lot. I've become bored lately with eating. I eat when I'm hungry but usually just a frozen lean cuisine (nuked, of course) or a chicken sandwich on whole wheat with a glass of 1% milk. And why the hell am I spouting all this here?

I think I must need a martini. That's another thing. I haven't been drinking much lately. Maybe I should go back to my nightly martini and glass of wine. Nah. One of either every couple of days is enough.

Oh crap, I know what I'm doing. Putting off writing a flash fiction piece from a prompt. Now I have to find out what I'm resistant to, why the topic has pushed my buttons. Oh dear. Off to write.

Can we move this to my blog? 😕
