I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

and we talked about life and death, and Jacqueline.

I miss her so much. Of course it's nothing like the way you and Matilda and Emmett miss her, but it's a ragged hole in my heart.

I never know what things will make me think of her. Sometimes it's expected and sometimes a Jacqueline will show up in a phonebank and then it's like "She'll never vote Fruitpunch again," Tep, I sent you a message picking your medical brain.(Long, strange trip with my gut after a slow thyroid shut it down last year...would rather get punched, repeatedly, I swear.) But nothing too complicated for you.

erika, maybe resend your message? I don't have anything from you in my inbox. (Also, I'm headed out the door to the grocery store, so I won't be around to reply for a while.)

Tep, yeah, must have used your old info. I've resent a trimmed-down version. Could really use some gut sanity. also, it just freaked out again, and I'm not sure what to eat today(It's been since the small hours, but...)

Rabbit Rabbit and Happy Labor Day!

I hope everybody is celebrating with very little labor if any.

I have no pilates this morning, so the entire structure of my week has already collapsed.

Our wings are not tired.

I went to the gym this morning. That is it for my laboring, except maybe unpacking my suitcase.

In Otter Lake news, all summer long, posters have been circulating for Bob the cat, who went missing on July 4th. He was found yesterday hanging out in my neighbor's barn. He has lost a bunch of weight and isn't telling what adventures he has been up to all summer. Like most people here, his family leaves today to get back home for the school year, so they are very relieved.

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

Yay for Bob the cat. Missing pets don't often fare well in my neck of the desert so I am always happy for pets coming back home.

Yay for Bob the cat!

I just finished my PT, and now I have ice on my leg and am wondering who delivers morphine popsicles.
