I owe it all to Dr. Seuss.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't it "diamond ring turns glass" or something like that? Then, mama's gonna buy you a....big fat ass.
That can't be right.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've had OK Go's "This too shall pass" in my head the last few days. Probably because I've watched the videos umpteen many times.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
nope, designated times start TONIGHT. I am not pleased, but I really need to get on with things. I want him to start back at karate tomorrow (he has been off for 6 weeks) and then I also really need the new babysitter thing to stay on track.
I doubt we make it into April without re-visiting the issue.

My mama always sang "shine." Looks like official is "turns to brass" WHICH MAKES EVEN LESS SENSE: [link]
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird don't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover won't bark.
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turns over, Mama's gonna buy you a doggie named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark, Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
designated times start TONIGHT.
Ooh, big move. I hope things go smoothly.
Sara, that song just lends itself to filling in. I do a crap job at it. You and Jesse are at least having good times.
I've had OK Go's "This too shall pass"
Now I have Gandalf yelling "You shall not pass!" stuck in my head. I should go and behold the marvel of my expanded TiVo. Because, uh, it looks all different and stuff. Not.

Because books.
I have had Alison Karuas singing "Down to the River to Pray" stuck in my head for 5 days now.
Oh man, I love that song. A pretty good earworm there, as earworms go.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Champagne cocktail - sugar, bitters, champers, lemon twist. I prefer Peychaud's overall, but I like the anise flavor in it.
Our bar has a case of Angostura, and we don't even use it in any of our drinks right now. All the bartenders are eyeing that case for our own nefarious purposes.
