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

I just spent half an hour on the phone trying to find something the NY intraoffice mail room lost.

That was fun.

What is even happening?

Seriously. I mean, how do they make sure you're not looking at porn in another window during your sessions?

I bet you could stack cats, and not miss a beat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Doesn't make it less terrifying, though.

Oh, definitely not. You just don't have to be a grownup to do it. No paperwork! No lawyers! (If you're randomly getting knocked up, I mean -- I know many people whose children came with paperwork and lawyers first.)

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

I don't like today. On the upside, though, I have chocolate cake. On the downside, I've learnt that it's a really good idea to take my migraine prophylactics as scheduled. And that's the upside of the down bit.

Tidying will give me a sense of purpose, and I hope also a sense of achievement. I could even file.

Hmm. Framing that penultimate sentence made me wonder--how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb? As in, to replace "I hope" in the sentence under consideration. Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.

Wait, what? Was there something about a kid?

Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?

Yes.

I've always misused hopefully, but have recently become hyper-aware of it. I liked it better when I was unaware. Hopefully, I'll forget, soon.

That all seems rather sudden...
