I have been fighting orthostatic hypotension (the room disappearing when you stand up) ALL FUCKING ASSCAPPY DAY.
Please stay close to the earth and away from pointy corners while you nibble at sustenance.
That sucks.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

ita, I would bet that Lori took pictures. Cause she has been doing such a wonderful job documenting through photos. But they aren't up yet. Though this was Grace yesterday: [link]
Hell, they oughta be issued to each new baby.
WORD. Children's NICU doesn't even have digitals (where Huntington takes photos of the parent and puts it in the chart so new nurses never ask, "are you the mom?" they just can see). The charge nurse at Children's (one of the only nurses there we have liked) took a polaroid (!!) of me and K holding Grace. Polaroids are surprisingly more flattering due to the lower resolution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, ita. Your sofa is still round, right? That is pleasing to me.
I hate when I eat late weekend lunch like I did today, because I'm only now ready for dinner, but I'm also almost ready for bed, so I guess I'll try to skip it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I'm about to go out, but with someone well-versed in seeking me medical help.
Also? Not going to faint. My body wouldn't dare be that irritating.
My TiVo, on the other hand apparently has no issue being irritating, because it won't talk to my PC.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They asked me who I was, and I told them I was an auntie. The nurse said, "antie?" And I said, "auntie."
Sheesh.

I am very very grateful to lori's shutterbugginess.

Definitely to the latter. Mom took some blurry pics of me with D when he was born, and I look AWESOME.
When I went to the dentist, it cracked me up that they took a digital photo to attach to my file. I guess if I turn up dead and require dental identification, they can tell what I used to look like?!

Okay, how do you pronounce "Auntie"? Ahn-tea or An-tea?

And that picture along with the least flattering high school yearbook shot will show up on the nightly news.

The first one. You know, LIKE IT'S SPELLED.
Ahem.

That's a lovely thought....
I say ohn-tee.
