I still have to retrieve the last of the laundry and make up my bed. And find where Pumpkin discarded her collar this time. I like her belled. Easier to find the little mad dasher.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Oh, and I scrubbed the tub with Barkeeper's Friend. Only way to keep the rust stains at bay until I can have it recoated (but not recolored!)
Collar found, 'kin belled for now. She was covered in cobwebs from who knows where in the basement and her feet were wet...

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Ugh, I need to remember never to initiate conversations with my mother. They always end up being about Why I'm Not Dating Jews. Also, I've had the realization that my mother takes my life choices as a personal insult to her and her parenting, which is no fun at all.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
JZ, did your singing lessons include ear training work?
I... runs to Wikipedia
runs back
... no. Just reading about it gives me a sort of math anxiety-esque strangle-chested gaspiness.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah, our mothers are comparing notes, I see.

PC - your mom wants you to date Jews? Very progressive of her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ahhh. I just ate a salad. My body wanted that.
Proteins and carbs are all well and good but it was nice to throw some leafy greens into my maw.

I'd suggest they exchange numbers to lament their childrens' choices to not y'all, but then it occurred to me that could be very very bad...
...that little girl I entertained on the plane the other night? Had a jewish mother of the Archetype. When girl asked how old I was, and if I had kids, her mother made a point to tell me I had plenty of time, as she'd had said child at 44. Um, ok, thanks lady? It was funny at the time.

Oh, wow, the thought of having a child at that age, which is to say, my age now, is exhausting. Not that I physically can, and not that I wouldn't do it if I were of a certain mind (which I am not, which worked out), but... EXHAUSTING!! Had a ball playing with my grand-niece yesterday and this morning, though. So glad to have that opportunity.
