Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I let bread sit for weeks, took pictures every day.

I did that! But I was testing preservatives.

Heh. I am pretty sure the concept of preservatives was beyond me. There's a reason I was an English major.

ETA: (not really, but it's fun to say)

Yeah, it was really tough. On the plus side, I think the shock led to an emotional breakdown which lead to me finding out some stuff I wasn't aware of (or wasn't aware of the magnitude of) and I have a much better sense of how to help her. I don't that's much comfort to her right now.

I think the preservatives kept the bread soft, but not actually mold-free.

My favorite science fair project was the one where I bought baby clothes and burned them up with a blowtorch! Good times.

Probably not right now, but it should be long-term, if she has any sense. Good luck.

To test what? Flammability?? Awesome!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I grew crystals one year and made a dinosaur diorama another year, complete with caveman.

Yeah, I took ones that had some kind of anti-flammable treatment and ones that didn't. The anti-flammable ones just melted, which seemed less than optimal to me! Assuming a not-very-big fire, I guess.

So, ever since the massage therapist commented on my rock-hard left calf, I've been noticing it, and now it's bothering me! Feh. Can I go for another massage already? It's only been two months.

Lord, I barely remember my science fair projects. I remember there was one with cow magnets and iron filings.

java, I may be reaching out to you and others around here with more experience as a people manager.

I have one more review to do tomorrow that should be less painful. Thank god.

I have basically no memory of doing anything science fair-related, which is weird. I have a good memory.

Zenkitty works for IEEE! That's cool!
