Why Worry

Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

And now a proper update

Took the felines in for their booster shots today. Smudge and Pan-Pan, anyway. Apart from the customary histrionics and yelling and screaming and general carrying-on when I put them in their boxes and carted them away in the car, their behaviour was exemplary.

They were model citizens with the vet. They stayed still on the table (mostly) while she examined them and took their temperature (Pan-Pan even purred, the slut!), and didn't even complain when they got their shots. I am very proud of my boys. :)

I bought cat litter while I was there, and received the disconcerting news from the vet's assistant that there will soon be an embargo in Canada on US cat food because of the stupid mad cow thing. So, Canadians with cats, start stockpiling! I'm going to have to appeal to the Parental Units for help with this one, as cat food is expensive. At least, the stuff I buy. :P

( Quick math, for my own benefit )

Maybe I could learn to make my own cat food. Not dry stuff or anything, but I believe there are recipes and stuff on the internet. That would solve my problem, although it would be a massive hassle. ^^;

In other news, I think Dire Straight's Why Worry is going to become my personal theme song for now. I'm not kidding. It's got a beautiful melody, and the words echo just about what I'm feeling these days (minus the actual romantic love part, since I'm not in that mindspace). It's the whole "laughter after pain" and "sunshine after rain" and cyclical nature of life bit that's speaking to me right now. It's also a lovely, soft song. *happy sigh*

"Exactly. I kept hoping one of the Ents would give them a good branch-raping."

You may all throw rotten tomatoes at abiku for the link. Be warned. There are RotK spoilers, and *really* bad fantasy-type illustrations. Yeah.
