I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, sarameg.

I hope Grace's surgery goes/has gone well.

I've been narrating how-to videos for some eLearning projects at work. Apparently I sound like an alto Alan Rickman with a midwest US accent. Why did no one tell me I've been Snape-ing it up all my life?

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

I went shopping with my mom and sister. My sister works at Old Navy, and they have massive sales and she gets a discount.

She got me 2 pairs of SIZE 12!!!! jeans. For 11.25 each.

They fit. They fit well, and are a little loose in the waist and thighs. WTFF!?!?!?!?!

Also, between the 3 of us, we have ALL THE HANUKKAH GIFTS FOR M! So MUCH angry birds, robost, Phineas and Ferb, ninjas, spaceships and dinosaurs. Mom wouldn't let me give her more than $15.

And they had made a Sam's Club run, and brought GIANT bags of dog and cat food, and 2 giant bags of cat litter. My family is the BEST! She also took us out to lunch and bought me a prime rib sandwich, which is basically an excellent prime rib on a bun. I threw out the bun and snarfed the steak and fries. NOMNOMNOM. I hadn't eaten at all yesterday -- got too busy.

My mom referred to M to a clerk as her "grandson" twice today. For the first time. OMG, so CUTE!

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

Jesse! Don't go to that place on the internet!

Shit.

Too late, probably.

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

Too late, probably.

I felt inappropriately touched on the internet and had to close the window. And I will hug many people happily.

sarameg, I'm so sorry. It's so hard.

Frank, what a wonderful thing that your mom is happy and getting the care she needs when she needs it. I hope you are all able to enjoy the lessening of stress with her move.

I thought the hug site was cute! Virtual hugs!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse! Don't go to that place on the internet!

Shit.

Too late, probably.

It was too late! That place was terrifying!!

Erin, let me recommend never buying jeans that are at all loose, unless you really want them that way, because they always loosen up as you wear them. Just saying.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

OMG, I had to have the antivax convo in the first fifteen minutes of my road trip. I did pretty well, so she had to pull out the "Well, you don't have any kids" card. headdesk.

Yes, because clearly you don't care about anyone who might possibly get infected by way of her kids. Only if you have kids do you have a right to care about public health.
