It's sad like that huh. But just think. In 3 weeks or so, I'll be back at work and life will be hell again.
Which reminds me, I got a phone call tonight about working with a group of teachers to help build lesson plans and criteria charts etc. no presenting, just basically facilitiating. It's Saturday from 8-12. The only plans I have are for 2:00 PM. I could easily do it and get paid my consultancy rate (which is double my teaching rate). But it would mean that I would then have an obligation during the only weekend I have free in Feb.
On the other hand, outside of Spanish class, I do NOTHING all week.
What would you do?

That is a tough one, Kat. I would probably do it, but then I'm insane.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
No morning shift yet? Huh.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Cant sleep. Storm is noisy. I should get in the shower, get to work as early as possible, and therefore get home as early as possible. But no, here I sit, dreading the thought of driving in this crap.
Maybe lots of people will call in sick today. I'd love to call in sick, rent a stack of DVDs, bake a dark chocolate cake and dump a can of cherry pie filling on top, maybe give myself a pedicure and curl up to watch movies.
Can I call in with a terminal bad hair day? That's okay, right?

Our wings are not tired.
About 3 blocks from my MIL's house someone tossed a newborn baby from a car. [link] Happily the baby will be fine, but you know the only thing on television around here today. Unreal. Like they couldn't find dozens of hospitals to drop the child at if they didn't want him. Thankfully they won't get to raise the boy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Uniquely American these days is working three jobs, none of them with health benefits.
Did the third world disapppear overnight? It's not unique, it's not American. It's just unfortunate.
Laura -- I don't get that either. Post partum insanity? Fear of ... judgment? I dunno.

There've been two abandoned newborns in Chicago this week - one of them thankfully left at a church in between services. The other, not so much.
ER: Hip displaysia? I thought only dogs got that.
Yay for new dog, Scrappy.

What is even happening?
Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state? We finally do. I thought it would never get here. Thank goodness the baby is safe. I hope the mother gets medical care.
