Well, Matt, good to know I'm in good company, anyway.
Poor mac! Such a whirlwind of changes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had a whole discussion last night
That's really cool. I'm with Kat on the excitement of language acquisition.
Turns out that the cable listing problem ISN'T solved. My head hurts and I'm tired and I just shut down Skype because my father logged in, so now I feel like a lousy daughter on top of everything.
I hate self pity. I just don't know where its off button is.
I'm sick and I wanna see my mommy
I totally hear you. Even though I'm avoiding my parents right now. I hope the travelling is as trauma-free as possible, and the parental time as rewarding as you could desire.

Well, parental time in Vegas =/= rewarding. Instead, it's me watching my mother gamble my inheritance (pittance that it is) away and her shoving bills in my hand so that I'll go play slots or some such nonsense. So not rewarding, but potentially renumerative.
I'd be more amped about going if I could breathe clearly.

and we decided that mommy and spiderman and superman and batman can beat up monsters and they keep the far far away.
That sounds like an excellent plan. I wish I could arm you with supermom fear-conquering weapons, but I think that's something moms just earn and learn.
I'm sick and I wanna see my mommy
I so know this. Even as me sick + mommy equals me=bitch from hell. I hope it ends up optimally.
Also? Some times are NOT the times to converse with the parents. That doesn't make us bad kids, it makes us normal. I mean, hell, I kicked my parents out of their own house on Xmas day because they were making me insane! And they held no grudge. Just laughed at me, but I can live with that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw.
Kat, take your mother's money and go sit in a steam room and/or sauna. Everyone wins!

No steam room/sauna for me. Just like no hot tub. No caffeine. No champagne. No sushi.

Oh, right. Bah.

MY MOM'S FAULT. For which she'll laugh. BTW, I got the note from you and lori and it made me happy teary. I consider myself the lucky one. Actually, if you can find green chile (and I suspect LA can do) it's a really easy recipe. Which I'll get from mom because I can't remember it.
FTR? Kat and lori give good letters.

Also, PS: I am the whiniest baby in the world. Today I'm all "And I have to WORK at my job! And I don't have two Advil! And my cat's nails are too long!"
These are all things I actually have control over and could deal with.
