Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I've had a-fib for years, but medicine keeps it under control.

Had therapy today for me. I think I am super open and have been honest about our household, but the therapist was really taken back when I read her Max's texts to me yesterday. It was like the mean tweets segment from late night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts to your mom, Sean.

I'm sorry for everyone having crappy days! I have just cooked a bunch of food out of my fridge and started phase one of elaborate 4th of July nails. After getting a pedicure and having some hammock time. I highly recommend vacation!!

I've never had this Polar Seltzer. If I ever see it in a store, I'll have to try it. Then I'll know whether I can trash talk Jesse's opinions.

It must be our local/regional brand, which I didn't quite realize. I look forward to talking trash!!

It's funny, I've been mildly resentful for years about the fact that not once since I got here in 2007 have I been called out and recognized at an all hands meeting, despite doing what I think is pretty good work (and occasionally great work). So now I'm finally getting recognized, and I'm grumpy because it won't be a surprise! Can't be pleased, I guess.

Oh, no! One of my small joys is now ruined: [link]

Oh man, the flour??

I'm glad you're getting recognized, Consuela, even if you have to do some of the work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

~ma to your mother, Sean.

Gary's dad and stepmom took care of the little guy today (including bringing him to the pediatrician, who said he probably has a virus) so Gary and I could take care of work and other commitments.

Got a prescription for eyeglasses today. (I'm mildly near-sighted) When I will get a chance to fill it, I don't know.
