Oh, thanks shrift. You've reminded me to get my brother a stuffed infectious disease.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
T-Rex! Or maybe the octopus.

My mom was trying to find some winter decorations for the house that were not Christmasy.
Since I was in high school, my mom has given me Annalee dolls for the holidays. I really like their snowmen, some of which are not specifically Christmasy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What I need to do is call my mom so I won't duplicate presents. And decide what Squishable to order my niece:
I rather like the penguin (of course), the platypus (no echidna though. Or mole rat) and narwhal.

I wish there were a way to tell online retailers that we're Jewish and Hannukah was really frelling early this year, so they can stop sending me their "holiday" deal emails any day now! (This is bacon, not spam, but the volume this time of year is overwhelming, and moreso since my holiday is OVER.)
ION, Post-ER pic. He's doing fine now that we're home. I suspect the worst part will be tomorrow morning when the painkillers have worn off and we have to change the dressing.

Because books.
Poor guy. Toddler trips to the ER are no fun, but he does look like he survived it pretty well!

Yeowch, Dylan! How many stitches/what was the injury?

He's so cute, Jessica! But, awwww, on the thumb. I hope he feels okay tomorrow.
I was four when I went to the ER for the first time. I fell onto the corner of a toybox when I tripped while jumping rope in our basement. This was 1970, when toyboxes were made out of wood and had sharp corners, which when they connected with your forehead, produced really bad cuts requiring eight stitches. I still remember lying on the bed when the doctor was stitching me up, and seeing the thread reaching up to his hand. That's my only memory of the ER.

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

I think they will still give you a discount even if you're Jewish. It's probably the law.

He smashed his thumb in the hinge of the bathroom door at preschool and cracked the nailbed. Lots of blood, but we got really lucky - no stitches and no broken bones. He did really enjoy getting his thumb x-rayed ("that big camera that took a picture of my BONES!"), and I was grateful to the ER doc for making the call that 1 stitch would have been more trouble than it was worth.
