my mother always suggests telling them how nice it is in Somalia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where is the wedding, ita? Or does it matter, weather-wise?
Oh, I have no fucking clue.
Push comes to shove I end up in the birdcage dress I didn't wear to the Orthodox transsexual wedding from last year. That covers the portacath fine. I just...I want to wear red, dammit. To the pro tennis interracial lesbian wedding.
I have ducked out of work for the rest of the day. My skull hurts and I want to puke. I need half an hour off now, and that means missing this particular meeting that will piss off my boss, but I canna function, cap'n.

Dude. I want to go to more weddings like ita does. Especially if there are single friends attending....

Because books.
I want to go to a wedding again. It's been a long time. I also really want a baby to play with for an afternoon.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So, it turns out that my knees can't handle 4 hours of carrying lights up and down stairs. This aging thing sucks. And I've got a lot of ladder climbing to do tomorrow. Oy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Laura!

Aurelia, if it helps, I don't think my knees could handle going up and down stairs for four hours. Without lights. Heck, my legs would utterly give out much sooner than that!
Happy Birthday Laura!
Amy, I feel that way too. Also, kittens. But I'm hopeful the planned foster-cat will actually be foster-kittens (there's two weeks coming up I'll be at home all day so could actually feed kittens many times a day, which is apparently semi-unusual--the coordinator was very excited, and my roomie and I are going "OOH! KIT'ENS!"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I just decluttered my office (for values of declutter that include shoving stuff in a box, but at least now it's ready for 15 minute bouts of sorting) and it already looks so much better it makes me smile every time I walk in there. And I'm walking in there a bunch, because decluttering rewarded me with a bag of sour gummies, which I accept as the Universe's cookies, so I keep going in there to grab a few. I should probably just cook dinner, huh?

I would actually like a puppy more than a kitten to play with, but not to housebreak because I have zero energy for that right now. Plus a cat who's peeing in the house neurotically already.

Oh, I fully expected to be sore and tired. I did not expect my right knee to simply say, "No. No more stairs."
