on friendship
i crashed hard this morning and ended up sleeping the day away, which was tactical blunder. i'm supposed to be up in three hours and ready to hit the road in four. good thing i'm not driving, but i would if required.
and it's not all about a furry friend, well mostly it is, but also it's about her owner. i'm going for moral support, just to be there. this is big, indeed as you well know, i'm not much of a morning person and almost never, ever awaken before dawn on my precious day off. i do that enough for work. there isn't much i won't do for someone dear.
what would you do for a friend? i know those memes going 'round, all talkin' big about true friendship meaning helping to dispose of a body sans question*. no doubt, this act of aiding and abetting requires a deep bond (or blackmailing) but this is a bit extreme. what would you really do? switch to night shift? sort through dung? cross through a valley of cock-a-burrs barefoot? babysit? polish off a disaster of a meal? endure a body cavity search? perform a body cavity search? just what would you do?

* just in case you have to do it, take it from someone who has actually dismembered a corpse: cutting it into 4-6 sections (into say, four limbs, the trunk and the head), makes it much easier to handle. i'm just sayin'.
