I think the good chocolate (seriously, that stuff smelled amazing) and cinnamon and pepper would be fine.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I get my first essay someone else taught to tomorrow. I expect to hit all of these stages this weekend.

New job is great; I am busier than heck, tired and my legs hurt (getting teaching legs back literally and metaphorically, but actually leg pain, yo.)

Being a replacement 2 weeks before Xmas break, when the kids have been with subs for a month...it's, um, challenging! Cramming a summer of prep into 12 school days of between holiday breaks ennui.

I am sticking my head in here a couple of times a day, but mostly running around like a crazy chicken (and my car's getting fixed and tagged, so I get rides from D, which means I get there at 6:15 and leave at 4, then go home and work for 4 hours... ZOMG, fried!)

But good!

OK, must feed cats and do...something not housework or schoolwork for 45 minutes before bed?

I'm so happy you got the job, Erin, as tiring as the adjustment is.

(I am happy to be tired from working!)

(not really here, no RILLY.)

oh, before I forget: msbelle, I am sorry your day was so sucky. Hope tomorrow is better.

bye for reals.

But I'll mention it to my doctor when I see him tomorrow.

Tell him that many invisible people want him to find an answer for you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Tell him that many invisible people want him to find an answer for you.

Also tell him that the invisible people talk to you every day, and occasionally want you to kick other people in the head, or kill them with your pinky.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also tell him that the invisible people talk to you every day, and occasionally want you to kick other people in the head, or kill them with your pinky.

Noooooo, don't tell him that. It's factually accurate but makes you sound crazy. Unless you show him this site. Which will make us look crazy. Either way, there's gonna be some judging going on.

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

I've had a headache since yesterday. It's just a regular tension headache, and nothing has made a dent in it. I'm ready to rip my brains out. I have no idea how you do it, ita. This isn't even a migraine and I'm exhausted.

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

There is some crying involved, Allyson, but just lightly, so as to not exacerbate it. And a lot of staring into the middle distance.

Can I take my meds yet? Maybe in half an hour.
