Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And have fun JenP!

Ooh, looks like Chrismukkah next year!

We just got our 2027 holidays. Mardi Gras (not a holiday at my workplace, but this seemed like a good opportunity to look it up) is two days before my birthday. Not sure what to do with that information, maybe nothing.

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

Timelies all!

Healing~ma to you, Sophia.

I managed to do the self-assessment thing today.(It has to be done by Friday) It's kinda half-assed, but it's done.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Go, bionic knee!!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We're all going to be made of replacement parts by 2030!

I went out to breakfast this morning and on the walk home I spotted a beautiful white husky. As I approached that corner, the person holding the leash said, "Oh, hey!"

It was Matilda's good friend, Vanessa. And in fact she was awaiting at that street corner to give Matilda a coffee on her way to work.

I waited with Vanessa until Matilda arrived a few minutes later and got bonus random child engagement!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks everyone!

I now have surgery to remove my ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and whatever else they can get on Friday.

I feel great right now, which is odd. But even people visiting say I look better than I have since my mother died. I also don’t really understand why my aunt seems overly concerned with my mom’s house not having any comfortable chairs and my uncle seems to think I will be driving soon! I literally have no idea how long I will be in the hospital. I dont need to somehow purchase and have a recliner delivered today! I am not going to be driving any time soon!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Wow, Sophia. That's just so much happening. Fingers crossed for the surgery.

Kind of a liquidation sale on your unwanted fertility.

I feel great right now, which is odd.

It may be odd but I'm glad that's where you are. I've been worried about you.

Glad they have the surgery scheduled, Sophia! And glad you’re feeling great right now! I’ll be thinking of you.
