It's the first week of summer break in my house and despite it being a short week, I'm SO ready for the weekend! Summer means I get to start summer hours and that means…painfully…that my alarm goes off before 5 AM and I can't “SNOOZE.” 
I have to get up.
But guess what? This weekend = NO ALARM CLOCKS
I'll still probably be up before 7 AM, but I can stay in my pajamas, I can take an hour to drink my coffee…I can be lazy. Or as lazy as I can be given that there is usually always something going on in my house.
This week was also Lover Boy's birthday. If you've been around long enough, you remember when I first started dating, and even when he first moved in with his little boy and cat. This was our first birthday celebration of his together and it went…
Welllll….
How would you describe it if the cat got out and went after the dogs, but then you step in between them and get scratched like you're a scratching post full of catnip? Asking for a friend…or in this case, the birthday boy.
Yeah, that happened.
Le sigh
He's healing, but it was an experience…one we don't want to repeat.
Any tips for how to get animals to get along?

Want your copy? Like last time, these will be on a lottery-based system. I will tell you that I have less copies of these than I do of Written in the Beat. That being said, unlike last time, if you are not selected, you will be able to add yourself to a waitlist/preorder list for the next run.
