Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How big is your apartment complex?

There's no complex, just the one brownstone building with 9 apartments.

I need a plane ticket in my hand to be forward.

Apparently me too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

bon, for some reason, I never thought of you as a cat owner, so your travails amuse me. And you have a Loki and Mister Kitty too, eh? The cold is getting to mine. Even as the house stays comfy, it's like they know it is freezing out. Even Devi is extra cuddly.

Heh. Well, we're cat obsessed now. I think the cold might explain why they both slept with us last night, something they never do. But no matter how many times I move Manimal he ends up curled up on me, somehow.

I have to keep moving my cat next to me until he eventually stays, but it takes a while. I can only hold him up with one arm for so long, when he sits in my lap (in between me and my laptop) with his head in the crook of my arm.

LA cold? Spoiled kitties!

Mine love my bed. I wake up to Devi and Loki on either side of my legs and Mister Kitty's stinky catfood breath on the pillow next to mine. So worth it to get a bigger bed and extra pillows. Now I can have my own. They aren't too much ON me while I sleep, just plastered against.

Found some more cable and ripped it out. I really need to figure out what to do with all my trim. Shitty paint job means it peels, so some stripping going to be involved and since there is probably lead paint underneath....uhg.

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

the one brownstone building with 9 apartments.

Ahem. Yes. Best not go to porn.

Apparently me too.

They also seem to be my most flattering accessory. They make me so much more attractive.

Well, I'd suggest not licking the trim.

That it's just as hard to have a relatively okay kid get diagnosed with a weird renal disease that may effect him once every couple of years as it is to have a kid with a trache.

I don't know -- I think the thing to remember on both sides is that it's as hard and scary now, but not all the time for years. I mean, shit.

I guess, Jesse, I didn't mean hard. I meant scary. And it is. It's also possibly more maddening for her than it would feel for me because I had a buffer between me and the system for much of the really hard part. And I've always had a super supportive team of people who oversaw Noah's care and still oversee Grace, people who knew how to navigate it all.
