Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The 9am meeting was just cancelled. Let it not be said I don't learn.

Also, we say "let one year end with its curses and a new year begin with its blessings". This is what I wish for you now.
What Nilly said, Juliana.
Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
I just took my baby girl to daycare for the first time. She's fine. I think I'm more upset than she is. I have a few last-minute errands, and then I start my new job this afternoon. Normally I'll be doing full days, standard hours, but the person I'm replacing works half days on Mondays, so we decided there was no point in my going in until she gets there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, y'all! Makes me feel all special!

Susan, I bet Anabel is having LOTS of fun! I hope you are having a restful half day free and that this afternoon goes very smoothly.

The Dr Seuss TNG really cries out to be illustrated with Chibi Trek characters. Or Seussian ones. If only I was an artist....

Because books.
Happy birthday, ChiKat, with lots of cake!
The Dr. Suessian Star Trek: TNG cracked me up.

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
I've given up hope on Vampire People. I know it's still floating around various smaller houses, but I just don't have any more heartbreak left in me so I took a deep breath and started work on the next book.
The hardest part of it right now is that my mom (of course) bragged to the whole family about her genius daughter and her smart and funny book and how she got an agent so quickly...and now relatives are calling to ask me where/when they can buy it.
Which leaves me explaining over and over that it hasn't sold and probably won't sell. By now, I should be numb to it. But I'm not.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My weekend: The good: Got to see bunches of people on Saturday, especially JZ, had fun. Gingerberead pancakes. Lush. Good food at Deb's. Saw Kat. Dutch Baby. meeting Kat's friend M., who is cool. Gray's anatomy. Got a good start on one long term project. Got a lot of CDs burned, and had fun with play lists. Made some real headway on the house cleaning stuff.
The bad: In pain because of my neck and back for large portion of weekend. Left party much too early. Between pain and needing to get stuff done, didn't get to see Steph nearly enough, which SUCKS. Didn't quite finish my to do list. Had a GA dream, which proved I would be a really bad doctor.
What about other people?
