I've been awake but trying to pretend otherwise since 4:00, and I made my coffee too weak.
My day also could have started better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does anyone know where I put my stamps?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dear XRay Tech, Why would *I* have my doctor's order for a mammogram? Why wouldn't YOU have them? /sitting topless in mammography.

ARGH. Every time I send my boss a piece of information, I get an email the next day asking me to send the same thing. I should just stop bothering to send her anything until she asks for it, right? Because this is getting to be a ginormous waste of my time.
I hope you're forwarding the original emails to her. I find that shit so annoying.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have today off. Other than getting lunch, and going to an appointment in the afternoon, I have no plans. Since it is raining, that suits me fine.

I may have to seize the cat.
I'm pretty sure there's not a lot of thinking or planning that goes into most teen pregnancies.
And no matter how aware teens are of the risk of getting pregnant/getting diseases, brain science tells us that they have impulse control issues and genuinely believe they are immortal, so mostly they're not going to worry about the fact that when you have a kid, it's not like you can give it back like you would with a pet that doesn't work out.
I have this in my notes from one of my earliest days of my YA Lit class: "GRACE AND FORGIVENESS ARE VERY IMPORTANT WHEN DEALING WITH ADOLESCENTS!"
This is what I learned in five years of teaching. Which I know is not that long but it's longer than many of the other students in that YA Lit class have had. Some of them are undergrads; some of them are library students who went straight through. They overestimate the willingness of students to obey rules; they underestimate the intelligence of teenagers.
For somebody who was burned out from teaching for so few years, I still have a lot of faith in most teens... I don't know if that's good or bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, most teens don't end up pregnant or convicted, just making pretty pedestrian educational-at-best sorts of mistakes. Plenty of time to be dumb as an adult too.

My somewhat educated guess is that they are in a smallish wicker or wooden box-type object.
The furniture guy just came and took away my dresser to fix. YAY!
Now to get busy with getting SOMETHING accomplished today. I think working towards a couple more bins going to the basement is a good start. Then paint stripping.

You are probably right. Heh.

Apparently my older teen son is terrified at the thought of children and has seen plenty of pregnant teens in his life and school. I'm hoping his fear holds strong. The younger one is much more impulsive. Reminds self to have him babysit more.
