I have applied for a job and reached out to a headhunter. I guess now I should do work...
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You all are doing wonders for a Monday mood.
I am wearing my Fluevogs for the first time ever - all reports said they come half a size small, so I ordered bigger, but they are biggish, so I put in heel cushions and no-slip pads under the ball of my foot to try and compensate. Not sure if it will work.

Gronkies. Thanks for the epsom salt advice last night. We did that, which helped some (plus some grossness). He is bandaged up and off to school. Will see what this afternoon brings.
We are going to see Wicked on Saturday and I'm all bouncy in anticipation. That is going to make this a looooong week, must concentrate on work first. If only I could find the motivation.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Did everyone everywhere insert "hey motherfucker get laid, get fucked" into "Mony, Mony"?
ours was "Hey! Hey what! Get laid, get fucked!" We also chanted "Drunk and hor-nay!" (or a regional variation of "fuckin' bullshit") along with the "Mony, Mony" chorus
y'all don't know when I am a mess as much, that let's me fake it til I make it.
Isn't this kind of the definition of parenting? :)
As things gets better, I am just jumping to expect "normal" and well, my upbringing "normal" is just not even on the map, so I need to redraw expectations for myself.
MsBelle, as a non-parent, I am constantly amazed at how hard you work with Mac. I often think "wow, she is so much stronger than me, I don't think I could handle that".
Could it just be irritated from the bump rubbing against his shoe, Suzi?
Warts can infected. I had one between my toes that rubbed and got infected and swollen and gross. the doctor ended up having to draw the pus out with a HYOOOGE needle and I limped around for a few days. I also had the added joy of being told that warts were a form of herpes. My brother overheard and started calling me "Herp toe" Ah, sibling love.

Totally this.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
FWIW, I've more than once told my therapist about msbelle and mac, and how much I admire msbelle's fortitude.

As for CJ, I'll hold off on the doc for now...will see what the foot soaks and neosporin do for it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So very much this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Didn't make it up before 6. Oh, I tossed around waiting for the alarm to go off at 5:45, but at 6:20 realised I'd set it for PM. So I'm running way late. Waiting in the car dealership for a ride to the rental place.

I've been impressed by msbelle's ability to deal as well. She's pretty amazing.
This is an interesting follow-up on that survey of Oklahoma High School Seniors that showed that only 23% knew George Washington was the first president.
I still feel a bit bad that the original survey didn't set off my skeptical senses.
