Why does no one tell me these things before I leave the house?
I didna know! Until nearly 8 am PST. Or PDT, whichever.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and I just had a cable modem trauma, where it said something was unplugged, but I swear nothing was, and then it got better. Is that the kind of thing that just happens?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mine's hooked into our wireless network*, so it connects pretty frequently
Mine's hooked in to my network, but still only connects just more than once a day. Well, I've asked it for Ellen. Let's see if it plays nice. Oh! It repeats on Oxygen! I'll request that too, as backup.
I'm on some kind of high from my morning's workout. The gym has roving personal trainers, and now my psoas stretch is so much better. Plus, the lady with the towel also has ice packs. And then there's the hot tub.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Okay. If it's front drive and the problem is with the front axle -- specifically fromt left -- is that better or worse, in terms of "chances Lyra will die in a crash as a result of this"?
I talked to my boss who's a big car expert - he agree with what someone said above, that there would have to be tons of bad noise before anything as bad as a wheel falling off could happen. He says to not accelerate hard with the steering wheel cranked all the way to one side (like, if you were pulling out of a parking spot) and that something could still break, but the odds of it being a catastrophic safety problem are very tiny.

This is the really pricey swanky gym, right?

Thank you, tommyrot. I feel so much better about driving home today. This counts as your good deed for the day, and it's not even noon!

Yay! I can go home now!
OK, maybe not.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm thinking you need to join this gym.

Yeah. It makes me want to cry. And I haven't even made it upstairs yet. You know, where the main rooms are.
