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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I used to know the difference automatically, but I've seen it wrong so much online that now I have to stop and think, "cause and... effect."

I started having problems with things I knew automatically after working as a proofreader. So very annoying.

Gronk.

Am sick. Have been in bed all day. Well, really, have basically been in bed for the last 24 hours, except for the time I was in the tub with the hot water.

I felt ooky when I got up Friday, but had a zillion only-I-can-do-them things on my plate at work. Felt progressively worse throughout the day, went home, collapsed, and spent the next several hours having fever dream epiphanies that made so much sense at the time. I think I almost started a new religion in my head. That was when I was in the bath.

What is even happening?

Oh Spidra, I hope your dad recovers well and quickly (and does what he should). I'm so sorry.

and spent the next several hours having fever dream epiphanies that made so much sense at the time

Heh. I hope you're feeling better soon, Plei, and that Lilly stays healthy.

I probably got this from her.

She seems okay. She's been hanging out with Paul all day, and I haven't heard any whimpers of distress from the other room or anything.

Hmm. Am going to have to request another batch of Cream of Wheat for self (all I've eaten since lunch yesterday was a bowl of CoW a few hours ago, as until this afternoon, water made me nauseated).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think I almost started a new religion in my head. That was when I was in the bath.
Religion in a Bath! I'm for it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Spidra, I hope your dad has an easy and quick recovery.

You too, Plei.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Religion in a Bath! I'm for it.

Now I'm earwormed with...

...
Oh, the tingling of the scrubbing brush, the flannel's soft caress!
To wield a lordly loofah is a joy I can't express.
How truly is it spoken, one is next to Godliness!
In the bath, in the bath!

....

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

Dinosaurs bit it, penguins live on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I'm earwormed with...

Me, I've got "Mirror in the Bathroom."

Possibly making no plans this weekend other than Stupid Thesis was a mistake.

There's a party for a kravver I could go to. But I have no idea how many people there I'll know, and I don't know the birthday girl that well at all.

And I'd have to leave in about 15 minutes to make the surprise portion of it.

I have a suspicion it's not happening.
