On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ugh. There's a dustup on my Blenderized-Diet for sick kids list and I can't let it go. One woman wants her insurance or the government to pay for the food she blends because if the kid were getting a specialized formula, insurance would pay for that.

I feel like a republican because I'm all, "but if your kid were eating the same foods by mouth, you would be responsible for paying for it. The g-tube is just the delivery system."

Ugh. I need to let it go.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My thoughts are with you too, Kathy.

Kat, why do you think you're messing with Noah? He is diurnal and he has bilateral symetry. Oddly enough we were discussing being diurnal today too.

Not really messing with him. But sometimes I think he's this giant scientific and educational experiment.

Ah yes it can feel that way sometimes. I do love watching them think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. I love Noah`s developmental progress.
 
Tonight`s dinner was grilled eggplant, zucchini, and squash, with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt. It was super yum. But I had it with rice, because I`m Japanese like that.
 
Oh, and chard chips, which were nom, but the kale, being curly, cooks up better. There`s something so satisfying about seeing what`s fresh at the farmer`s market and eating it for dinner that night.
 
Also! My Nubar order came! And it is lovely. But there are definitely some close shades, so there will certainly be some going in the box. I`ll just have to figure out which ones.
 
Oh, and ita, I agree about the liquid graphite being inconsistent. That was supposed to be the advantage of the liquid, that it would be a smooth unchanging line. But it`s not. But I still like it for the financial stuff, which is mostly what I use a pencil for. Although the erase test is still going at day five.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kids are totally an experiment!

Sara, I think it's awesome that you want to hang out with 15-year-olds, and they want to hang out with you!

I forgot to put a camisole under this dress. I thought it was OK, standing up, but now NSM. Eh.

Are you at work, Jesse? Or can you put a camisole on now?

I'm barely awake and certainly wish I weren't.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Kat said.

It's still dark out.

I was not yet at work, and did put a camisole on. Just on principle I hate getting naked again after I'm dressed, although I realize that putting a dress on and off takes approx. 2 seconds.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is off to school, I have half my fingernails done, and the dishwasher is going. next up, phone meeting with NY. Then getting my invoices in for 2 weeks of work and processing at least 4 troublesome invoices. Then therapy with mom and I think I may call it a day at that point.
