Who is buying you that stuff? Because those were also expensive.
Well, yes, but the price is moot since I don't actually want them!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

could you make breakfast on Monday?
That would be great! I understand if you have too much other stuff going on, though.

Because books.
I need to entice Scola to take the train down this way and take photos of all the cool historical stuff in town. Completely a selfless thing, I assure you. ::nods::

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
As part of my current mood of pure rage (we're going on a two week stretch!), I would like to propose a little game to the guy who forgets his key once a week, and comes and hovers at my desk until I stop what I stop doing what I am focused on doing, and let him into his office.
The game is this: You forget your key, and I ignore you. I will continue ignoring you until you desperately run crying, find a phone, and call security to let you in.
I get a point for every time you do this.
You get a point for every day after that you check your pocket for your fucking key.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That would be great! I understand if you have too much other stuff going on, though.
It might have to be early, though! But I want to do it.

Happy birthday, Shane!
So the last time we did this (surgery for Grace etc) someone else was really in charge. I mean, the nurses were here and they were going to take care of her and take her back etc. etc. There are so many things I didn't know... how to access wifi, that they give you beepers like at a restaurant, that you have to be on the seating chart in the waiting room, that there are TOYS for Grace!
There's so much to learn!
I wonder how long the surgery will take?

Allyson, I forgot to mention The City, Not Long After, an atypical post-apocalypse book by Pat Murphy in which the heroes are artists, not macho types.

Grace was in my dream last night talking. She is in my thoughts as are her mommies.

I am so glad Perkins opened the package. I got dragged away from my computer by a manchild.
