JZ, any chance you could buy Rage Nurse a small mirror compact as a parting gift to remind her that's whose company she's going to be stuck with once you're gone?
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is fleshbot no longer properly part of the gawker network? They're not in the chain of logos at the bottom, but they get linked to a lot. They also weren't in the demographics breakdown for advertisers I saw the other day.

Yeah, but pity my poor dad more than me, he bears the brunt of most of her haranging.
That's pretty much where we are. My mother is seriously demented now, and the irrationality shows itself in a variety of unpleasant ways, mostly taken out on my dad. He's stopped arguing with her, just to get some peace, but it makes it hard to get them any help, because she's both irrational and paranoid.
Being an adult kind of sucks sometimes.

God. I just spent what? 3 hours wrapping presents for my nephews and bro and SIL. Keep in mind I was wrapping for the nephew's bday as well. AND all my parents' presents. I think there are still a few awol. But I'm pretty sure I'm finished. God knows I am DONE. Steeled myself with booze the last stretch. Also, Inception isn't trippy when you are wrapping a gazillion presents. Cause you don't care. At all.
I think we (and by this I mean me and SIL and parents-by-proxy) went a bit overboard since they couldn't make it at the last minute. And I had to wrap it.all.

Wait, make that 4 hours.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Suela, that sounds so hard.
sarameg, I had to take on the wrapping in two shifts. We went a bit overboard too--on the kids anyway. I had to keep telling myself that, other than at prezzie time, we're really not extravagant. I fear we didn't buy enough for my MiL however. That's bad. Will need to rectify somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So apparently no one but me is in the office today, and I just saw my boss's departure memo to her boss, and shit is about to get REAL. She assigned me a shitload of stuff off her plate. Which is classic good news/bad news. I'm going to have to remember how to work hard again!

Yeah, it seriously does.
