I am in no way stronger than you all. We deal with what comes up, you know? Thanks all the same.
Well, you did sign up for -- and go through years and $$$ of effort -- to be a single mother. That didn't just "come up"!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Okay, not quite. I wonder if the limitation is in getting muscles and tendons to attach properly.

but I just shake my head--I'm too selfish and set in my ways, and I know I wouldn't have the patience to deal with a child by myself.
yes, this. I'm a great aunt/godmother though!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I'm responsible enough to know I'm not currently responsible enough to be anyone's mother. That's as far as that goes, especially solo.
Got into work only 15 minutes late. To a million emails, from yesterday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I know this is going to change any second now, but the most pressing thing I have to do at this point is my time sheets, and they aren't due until the end of the day tomorrow.
Weird.

That...is fucking insane. How'd they do that?! Is there even such a thing as a bone transplant? You can't just go and replace a bone like that! Right? Until now.

Comic books are good for children's learning:
Professor Carol Tilley, from the department of library and information science, said that comics are just as sophisticated as other forms of reading, and children benefit from reading them at least as much as they do from reading other kinds of books.
She said there was evidence that they increased their vocabulary and instilled a love of reading.
