If you ask me what my name's for, it's so I'll never go astray
We celebrated the first night of Hanukkah chaotically, with latkes and lox and automotive repair after my brother arrived with a broken tensioner, and it was good.
spatch and I exchanged books and
rushthatspeaks and I exchanged IOUs. My parents gave us a vacuum cleaner with which we plan to terrorize the cats tomorrow. My niece lit the first night's candle: for the children. Our menorah survived the move intact.

Happy Hanukkah! They were.
Other times she will veeerrrry slowwwwly rise up, carefully stretch all four legs, and amble away, generally to lie down again right in the only path for the vacuum cleaner to reach its destination.
Oh, obstructive cat.
Autolycus clung to my shoulder throughout the operation of the vacuum and Hestia vanished into a parallel dimension and returned only when it was over.

Autolycus' and Hestia's reactions seem just exactly like them. They made me smile and smile.
