I managed to get back to sleep, but now I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't know if I can make it in on time.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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

People rarely have the slightest doubt that my siblings and I are related.

Slept like carp. CJ tried to get me to let him stay home from school. I'm working from home today and felt like a bad mom when I kicked him out the door.
My neck hurts like crazy. I think it is from karate on Monday, I fell wrong during a take down and bounced my head off the floor. If it isn't from that, I don't know what I did to myself.

Because books.
I look exactly like my dad -- well, I did. Lately, I look more and more like my mom. For years, though, it looked like my mom had nothing to do with me and my brother.
The kitten biting my foot through the covers woke me from a really upsetting dream in which S. had lost his job, Sara was a baby in stroller, and I think we were living in the car. I'm still all weirded out and off-center.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I look like my dad's grandmother, and my sister is a carbon copy of our mom. (To the point where if you look at photos of my mom from when she was my sister's age, the only way to tell them apart is by the vintage of the clothes.) And yet, people can always tell we're sisters right away.

Good luck with the interview, Stephanie! I hope they make you an offer and let you work from home!
Sorry to hear sleep was elusive for so many.
Last Saturday the mother of one of the librarians in my department passed away. Which makes 3 out of 4 librarians who have had mothers pass away this year. Yesterday, another librarian's wife was taken to the ER with acute appendicitis. It feels dangerous around here right now for family.

Art Crawl!!!
When my brothers were young - people used to think that they were twins - and not only are they two years apart in age but they look completely different from each other.
Meanwhile, just last week I was asked if I was a Cherokee or some other Native American.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Boing Boing sez:
Kirby sez, "Spot on parody of the NPR News Quiz Show during a Zombie Apocalypse. Peter Sagal, Carl Kassel, Mo Rocca, Paula Poundstone, and Tom Bodett don't miss a beat as they broadcast their last show before retreating to the cave system. The author gets the personalities perfect. You can imagine that this is exactly how the panelists would handle zombies."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh, I forgot the funniest. In college, there were a handful of people who thought I was bi-racial: African-American/Caucasian.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
