Gronklies. Was I here yesterday? I can't remember. I think I congratulated Sparky, but a big WOO HOO! anyway!
Beth, cute hair! Love.
libkitty, I'm sorry your mother is being asshatish. You could fly up and visit my mother instead. I promise she won't do any of that nasty soul-destroying stuff, though she might sing showtunes to you in the middle of Safeway (which, if you are a teenager, is soul-destroying enough).
Tipsy!JZ is adorable, and I'm sorry that Matilda had such trauma today. But yay! for inoculations!
{{{{Fay}}}} The Velveteen Rabbit angered me SO MUCH, because I couldn't understand why they had to go and burn it. V. upsetting for a justice-minded tot. (I also read it at 4, so not so much with the comprehending of communicable diseases.) I love reading your stories of teaching.
Fay, I love hearing about your kids - they sound adorable, and smart, and almost like Buffista sprog.
Tep! Yay for a good weekend and boy coupon-cutting!!!
Toddson!!! So nice to see you! I think you should come out to SF and do some new wardrobe-shopping here. Yes.
Cass, I hope you feel better soon.
I'm trying to do an exhaustive "first impressions" list, but this whole "work" thing keeps getting in the way. Pffft.
Tep, The Sundays came up on random, not a cry for help or hairpats.
Well, apart from my usual grinchy. It was just a song I had forgotten and liked hearing again.
lib, take juliana up on her offer, she has a lovely mom.
Love that song. It's an insta-earworm for me, but in a happy way.
Note to self: Do not take Benadryl before work when you've slept badly due to a cough. It causes you to zone out on phone calls and dream of strange confrontations on desert roads while you're trying to troubleshoot computer problems.
Very sassy haircut, beth. Embrace the tousled.
JZ's been a whirlwind of productivity this morning. I should make her martinis more often.
She just took the baby and headed out to update our parking sticker.
She was pretty funny describing her trauma at Matilda's shots: "Water kept coming out of her eyes!"
Today I: write write write. Then in the late afternoon: socialize!
Tomorrow I get up early to accompany EM to her court hearing to turn her Temporary Restraining Order into a more permanent one. She was just a wreck when I talked to her yesterday. She's lost like 20 lbs in the last two months stressing from the harassment. And she's only 5'1".
Hec, is the harassment still ongoing?
Hec, is the harassment still ongoing?
Nope. He's behaved since he got the temporary restraining order. The dozens of calls a day from a blocked caller ID stopped too.
But she was very freaked that he had escalated into the violence and putting his fist through her window. She's been barricading her door at home - feeling like she's under siege. He definitely put the fear in her.
That's why I'm going. There's no legal reason for me to be there. She just doesn't want to face him alone.
I will have to restrain the urge to pinch his fucking head off. But there will be glaring.
