And I only REALISE THIS because my little sister has emailed me to mention it. A week after the event. And it is NOT her job to remind me of my parents' birthdays Every. Fucking. Time. Because of the part where I am a grownup.

My God. Shame on me. Shame on me. Shame on me.

Only apparently it IS her job, because, see, I DID FORGET THE ONE TIME SHE DIDN'T REMIND ME.

Sorry. Sorry. No more cereal. Just - I am so deeply disappointed in myself, and I can't do a fucking thing to undo it, and I'm just CRINGING at the prospect of trying to make it up to her A WEEK AFTER THE EVENT.

Shame on me.

Oh, Fay...

Yikes?

Glad that she will forgive. And, from what I know, you love and adore her and think that she is many kinds of wonderful, so she will obviously forgive you...

Makes my weepy over the stupid Everwood show seem kinda dumb. As did my stupid watching the end of the show actually.

Send a lovely note and maybe some flowers?

Also my parents had to put my grandma's dog, Bernie, to sleep today.

When gram died, they adopted her two Golden Retrievers along with the two they already had. Bernie was recently diagnosed with cancer as well and they had to let him go today.

I know this is hard for my stepmom because this was her mom's dog that we got gram before we lost my grandpa, when we knew he was dying, for company. It's one of her last tangible holds to her mom's life.

I am glad she had Bernie for all of these years. And I am glad we had Bernie for all of this time.

I have the sniffles.

Go, Hil! You can do it!

Kristin, how absolutely frustrating!

{{{amych}}} My heart is aching for you all.

ION, I SLEPT! I still feel like I was hit by a truck, but I slept! All night! 9 hours!

Can I go back to bed?

You can go back to bed. It's what I am doing. It is what all the cool kids are doing.

Nope. Have to go to class. Stupid class.

Also, must get in shower. But, I haven't had enough coffee yet!

must be something in the air, vw. Tom slept for the first time in several days last night as well. Of course his rain-related anxiety this stretch is sure to provoke will likely make that an exciting once-a-week event.

{{{bitches}}}

Weren't you travelling on June 1st, Fay? Or thereabouts? When you are getting strip-searched by testy border guards, things slip your mind.

I have yet to remember my sister's birthday ever, or my step-mother's, so I'm reasonably impressed with people who try to and do remember birthdays.

Jilli, from a couple days ago, thank you for the Art of Adornment link! I will hook up my friend with it.

Plei, cool beans about the Girl Wonder column. A male friend just wrote me about "52" and the Batwoman-as-lesbian thing: "How edgy. If they wanted to be truly edgy they'd change the costume. I don't care how many chicks she bangs, no one can fight crime in 6" heels."

I too am going back to bed, since I was up from midnight to 4 am.

{{amch}} She did it her way. I’m sorry for your loss.

Exam~ma for Hil

Ugh Kristin. Just Ugh.

{{Ginger}} Yikes. Healthy vibing headed your way.

Boo for idiot cow-orkers

No commas in this post. They were all used last night.

{{Cass}}

{{Fay}} Also have mind like sieve. I understand.

ION I am missing everyone because of adapting to summer schedule.

I set up LJ accounts for both boys and they must write in them every day this summer. Some example I set. Ooops.
