I didn't see this posted here earlier. RIP John Spencer I was never really a big fan of the West Wing, but when I did watch it, he was one of the main reasons.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

What is even happening?
With any luck, in two plus months I could be the proud legal guardian of a bouncing, non-so-baby, girl.
Hopefully, this is a pain free C-section.
(I'm sorry. I'm really tired and goofier than usual).

Well, shit.
Our final "paper" for Advanced Composition is due on Wednesday. It's supposed to be a memoir, of sorts, of all of the "concepts" we learned this semester. He gave us a formula to use to write about each concept, and each is supposed to be about a page. I just made a list of my "most important concepts I learned." There are 35 of them. There is NO WAY I am writing a 35-page paper. Ugh. For one thing, there just isn't time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibing for both you and C. She's an amazing kid, for having enough awareness and instinct for self-preservation to know what kind of home she needs to feel safe and thrive in and actively pursue it, and you've been amazing in your response to her.
If there's any -ma left over, use it for you and CJ.
Has Aimée checked back in with any more news about B and her husband. I stupidly forgot to mention it in-thread, but they've been in my thoughts.
Blurgh. So tired. And I really need to haul my ass into gear and get to work, like, now, since I'm taking tomorrow off to hang out with Emmett. I'm dreading the miserable load of typing that awaits me today and Wednesday.
eta: eek, vw! Can you cull a top 10 from your list of 35?

vw, this week is less craxy, indeed. Maybe we can have lunch!
I think that you need fewer important concepts. Pick 5!

Thrive to spite them
MG I hope everything goes well with the visit!
VW- can you make a list of the top 5 very most important concepts and go from there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe one of the concepts can be that a concept can include many sub-concepts.

Punishingly Intricate
vw, I recommend some serious grouping!
It is so cold in my office. I need fingerless gloves. And a nose warmer.
We had a really nice dual birthday party at our house on Saturday and the place looked pretty good I think. And I'm never happy about how the house looks. But we just painted the living room and my friend put up some posters for me. And we made (and people brought) a buttload of beautiful food. And my friend took some pictures with her fancy camera. So I wanted to share.
(I'm waiting for a new sofa so I still have kind of ugly, ill-fitting slipcover covered one)

Well, he's expecting at least 20, so I've got to at least have that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can't you just leave 15 out?
