Week of dressing dangerously: I don't like either of the first two outfits, but I like how she is reacting to them.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Why haven't I been listing a dependant on my taxes? Damn.Well I was going to mention that but you get so defensive about the kid.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, I just don't know what to do about this. My parents are not going to China: they're old and scared. Won't happen. And the rest of us are scheduling the rest of our year: hard to do that and keep an unknown week open to fly to Beijing.
And my brother, bless him, doesn't seem to see how difficult it is for the rest of us. I mean, don't we need visas to go to China? Gah, that hadn't even occurred to me...
We'll all go, if possible. It just doesn't seem to sink in that it might take more than a couple of weeks notice to scare up visas, airfare, and vacation time. We don't all have UN passports, dude.
Plus the wedding's been called off/postponed so many times that I'm kind of losing my enthusiasm, you know?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Free at last! It's almost 6 hours later than intended, but I did get the impossible-to-fit project overview pages laid out and sent off to editorial on the date scheduled.
Now I just have to find a way to magically pull extra days out of nowhere, as one editor wants me to make sure production keeps on schedule despite necessary files not being released until a week after deadline. If I had a time machine that would allow me to make up 4 extra lost days when I'm scheduled to turn work in 3 days after said blown deadline, I would be using it to do something far more lucrative than my current job.

My god, you are in exactly the same situation, aren't you? The wedding was supposed to be last year, but last year was Year of the Widow, so they couldn't get married.
But my god, visas! And vacations! Bleah. There are, frankly, many places I'd go before China. Which makes me parochial, but I admit I prefer a place where I can read the street signs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Y'all went to bed early.
I didn't train again today. At least, that's what the instructor said--he never saw me, not at all. Best news? The other instructor said I looked good, that he'd pass me on what he saw me do. It's only maybe 1/4 to 1/5 of the syllabus, but that's a hugely good thing to know--I haven't trained on this stuff since the concussion three months ago. And January was always too soon for the test.

I have an 8am meeting with my boss tomorrow. I really need to no longer be awake. To that end, I bid thee farewell.
Oh, and stop working bon.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yay for the positive not training.
I just finished watching Bones. I can't figure out if that was a gutsy topic or not (in the figurative sense). I was glad I taped though because I had to stop and laugh my ass off at Zach's attempt at peacemaking .
