You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent, sara.

Am home from a whirlwind trip to MA, which was fine. Now I have to go to bed, because I'm working FOUR DAYS this week! Crazy. AND doing stuff after work every night. Phew.

Poor hardworking baby!

(I only work 3 this week.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, you're getting old.

I managed to say without any sense of self-consciousness when asked why I was leaving the party yesterday at 11pm, and someone who had to teach at 8am (I'm not on until 9:30) was staying, "He is either crazier or younger than I am. Maybe both."

Fuck it. I'm working this old thing for every ounce of sympathy I can get.

Cranberry oatmeal cookies in the oven. Bumped the cranberries up to 8oz, tossed in a bit of wheatgerm. Sugar's down to a cup, but I really should have made a note last time -- I think this is a 1/4 cup less. I hope so.

I'm less old than you, and I hate being out late. I didn't used to. Now? Hah. And really, NO going out on weeknights. Nu-uh.

It was really weird to realize that I haven't worked this many days in a row in a year. Except for school, but that doesn't count to me as "work."

Jesse, I'm really glad you went back to school. It is clear you are enjoying it immensely, and that's a lovely thing to see.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There were scenarios in which I'd have stayed out later, but really -- I was chilly, and I see these people all the time. It was a good party, and I'd been there for over three hours at that point. The street clothes novelty wasn't enough to keep me, plus if I woke up at ass o'clock in the morning, I could have buttermilk pancakes way ahead of having to teach.

I really like buttermilk pancakes.

Aw, thanks, sara.

Stop trying to justify, ita -- you're just old and cranky.

OK, off to the air conditioned bedroom for reals.

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

I really like buttermilk pancakes.

I've got a good recipe from that. My erstwhile neighbor used to work at Zazie and nabbed it for me before she left.

So, apparently, have I. It's a little random with the consistency, but as long as I pay attention and don't let them overbrown -- let's just say I'll be buying much more maple syrup next Canada visit.
