The NY Times article about autism really bothered me -- it's an article about how the change will affect autistic people, but they didn't quote a single autistic person in the article. Quoted one mother of an adult with autism, but nothing from the people actually affected.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good lord. I have a pretty radically low tolerance for smoke (pretty insta-headache), but TobaccoFreeCA (or something like that) just aired an ad that has a woman smoking on her balcony, and then the smoke went up one floor, in through the window, through the living room (ignoring the kid on the couch) to sneak into the baby's room and hover over its wide-eyed little face. Seriously? Malevolent smoke is hunting innocent American babies now? Turning left instead of right? I mean, at least give us in-building ventilation contamination, or something.
But I worry rational advertising doesn't work, that's why they don't do it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is msbelle around to yell at me about packing? I need motivation.
One would think that the movers showing up at 10:00 tomorrow morning would be enough, but somehow NSM.

ita, you asked way back about a cleaner. We have someone who comes in and cleans twice a month. We are never here when it happens and she came on a rec from a coworker. I do not WANT to be here when someone cleans because weird for everyone. She does our floors, which is a big ass job (thanks, Noah's preschool, for having a fully sandbox play area) and then focuses on the kitchen and the bathroom.
For my coworker, she also does her laundry (LAUNDRY) and folds it etc. This is a big deal because she lives in the same building as the coworker and the laundry room is a drag.
(It also helps that he gets chore points for things like driving me everywhere and talking to strangers.)
I love, bon bon, that you see the chore nature of those things. Talking to strangers = a chore.

Wait, if you're moving tomorrow, does that mean we don't have Show?

See, that part, of being cleaned around (and maybe under) I'm used to. I do not yet know of your ways. But I will learn...I may not understand but I will learn.
Does she work in my neighbourhood, or was it more an illustration than a rec?

Lee, get packing. Empty your trash (I've had movers move my trash before).
What do you have left that is not in a box/container? Is it stuff that will fit in your car?

I don't, at least.
