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

Work came close to reducing me to tears. Not only was it a stressful, awful day, but the air conditioning broke. It was 91 degrees in my office by 2pm. I was dealing with enormous stress, realizing I had to do several things over again due t someone else's complete fuckup, and it just kept getting hotter.

If the AC isn't fixed on Monday, I think I'm perfectly right in either a) going home, or b) demanding that they give me a loaner laptop and allowing me to work in another part of the building.

Yoga is good. We just started an eight week class at work. An hour of yoga and pilates combined. It's a great workout; it makes you sweat, but it's so relaxing at the same time.

Aha, a milkshake! Yum, a coffee milkshake by any other name is a frappucino! I knew there was a reason I liked Starbucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wallowing is what I've been doing so far, and frankly, it's done nothing for my figure.

Krav and roller skating are each somewhat scary to me, in varying ways. I like the idea of yoga because it's physical and soothing at the same time. Or, yeah, like Sail said.

Damn straight, Allyson. Aren't sweatshops against the law? I bet there's someone you could threaten them with, if they don't have it fixed by close of business Monday.

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

I just fell asleep on the sofa.

Hate it when that happens.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did everyone go away?

I was about 6' away from the the computer.

Here's hoping the AC at Allyson's workplace is fully functional by Monday.

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

What's wrong with the sofa, Perkins?

I'll take care of the impact part.

Allyson, there have to be laws. Call OSHA.

I will. I've got the bottles of rum and coke to drown wallow in.
