So, good news and bad news. I gave the suit a fairly half-assed ironing. Maybe three-quarters-assed. Anyway, I remembered that there was a seam that needed repairing, so I did that, which is good, but then there was some kind of stain on them! WTF? So I dabbed it with water, and am now hoping that doesn't do more harm than good.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to not like Nadal. Watching him today--okay, I don't love him, but I can't not like him. That was some excellent quality tennis all round.
White spice pound cake is glazed.
My stomach still hates me, so although I passed Cheetos in the supermarket, I dared not make eye contact. I'm trying to bribe it with wholesome (and not junk) food, but it's not feeling (or giving) the love.
On the upside, I'm self-medicating by impulse purchasing technology. It's something.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH learned to iron by googling "learn how to iron" a long time ago. The best instructions he found were on a transgender website. He's much, much better at ironing than I am.
I usually just go wrinkled.

Jesse, water won't usually ruin linen. True linen can be machine-washed, but the ironing is usually a bitch.
I have to go back to napping now.

FWiW, I know of vegetarian restaurants (somewhere...) but no vegan ones.

Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.
This seems to be a certain variety of father, as Cass & Gloom's anecdotes reveal. As has been documented here (fell off a cliff in a CAVE during S&R training being my personal favorite,) I have one too.
My nephews will get to tell about their father the explosives inexpert. And racerdriver.
The elder nephew seems to be fond of his baby brother, though the wee one isn't too interactive yet. No toy stealing. However, he is practicing for siblinghood. He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there. He wasn't mad, barely even disgruntled. It was quite random.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there.I think I just hurt my tummy laughing. No, I know I did. Who knew belly laughing was so belly intensive?
That is hysterical.

I would have loved to see my SIL's face when she heard this. Cause she so does not like being pregnant.
I'd like to share my dorkitude: I think, not counting the first time, I've managed to reread WTVPPLTL (WVPPLL?) at least 3 times, in various order.

Poor D, to be supplanted, even for a short bit, by T must be rough. My dad is physical enough, but I rarely hear about his mishaps. THANK GOD.
Okay, what do I need to pack for my overnight hospital stay tonight?
Please to help me nap more!
