Oh, poor Noah-noodle! Did he think that everyone was going to go away on Turkey Day? Not sara!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hope Noah recovered from his meltyface quickly from when they dropped me off. I know it is just 3.5 disliking change, but I have to admit to sympathetic tearing up when he did that. Especially given how much he talked up "sharing" his room with me and needing reassurance I wasn't leaving TG night
Ooof. I'd have had trouble leaving.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too.
Also, Ack. My cleaning person just emailed me to ask if she could come tomorrow instead of Wednesday this week. This wouldn't be as much of a problem, or a problem at all, really, except for the part where I spent the last 5 days not doing dishes, or putting away laundry, or moving much beyond my sofa and recliner.
At least it's a contained mess.

Noah has this dimple high on his right cheek, and when he's emotional it's all dimply and...it's just too much.

Because books.
I'm going to calmly state my HORRIBLE JEALOUSY of people who had Noah and Grace time at Thanksgiving. Hmph.

Amy, next year, YOU could come and have Noah and Grace time.
Grace's cold is somewhat better, but not cleared yet. She's feeling better ish.
And all of my shit of feeling like a slovenly mom who let her toddler getaway with eating sticky toffee bread pudding and not brush his teeth immediately after and that's why he has 3 cavities? According to today's dentist not so much.
He has enamel hypoplasia that resulted from his extreme prematurity! So it's the fault of my shittiness-at-being-successfully-pregnant instead of my shitty-at-brushing-ness!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
HORRIBLE AWFUL JEALOUSY. And yup, sara, meltyface means toddler likeage for sures.
I cannot do any swimming under water ever, and my pool is now closed through the New Year. Pouty. I need to figure out what cardio I`m going to do through the rest of holiday season. I think I maintained weight through my multiple turkey days, but will have to confirm once I get to my own scale.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Spanish woman claims she owns the sun - and now plans to start charging ALL users:
What if they (we) don't pay? Is she going to block it out, like Mr. Burns?
Also, Ack. My cleaning person just emailed me to ask if she could come tomorrow instead of Wednesday this week. This wouldn't be as much of a problem, or a problem at all, really, except for the part where I spent the last 5 days not doing dishes, or putting away laundry, or moving much beyond my sofa and recliner.
But...that's what she comes to take care of!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How does Grace's cold manifest with her breathing apparatus? I guess she doesn't have the misery of suddenly not being able to breathe through her nose, but still, it must be specifically unpleasant. Because that's what colds are for.
Amy, did I mention NOAH ADDRESSED ME BY NAME? What? Only once or twice? Well, HE DID.
God, I have no sense of proportion.
