You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

There is only one shop I've found on the planet that is capable of getting my summer drink right. Iced coffee with 1/3 skim milk. Biggest one they have. Just coffee over ice with a dash of skim. I have gotten everything from one of those frozen jobbies to iced lattes. My drink is much easier people.

I am incapable of making coffee before I've had coffee, so Mr. Jane sets the pot before he comes to bed, after he gets home from work. This, if he weren't also a pretty decent guy and really cute, would be enough to keep me married to him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I pretty much reserve coffee for special occasions, or when I'm eating breakfast at a restaurant. (Even then, I'll often just get tea.) Coffee seems to upset my tummy sometimes. Also, I pretty much have to have a full stomach to handle coffee.

Also, coffee doesn't seem to help the anxiety that much....

If I could get to bed earlier, I wouldn't need coffee in the morning to function. Since I'm a natural night owl, this is unpossible. It requires more willpower than I currently have, or at least, I'm using that willpower for other things like not eating candy for dinner or blowing my entire paycheck on shoes.

Tom makes the coffee in the morning. I'll have a sip or two with breakfast, but I drink it mostly waiting for/on the train.

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

Maybe my barista was uncaffeinated. Maybe my barista thought I was uncaffeinated, and that's why she was so "patient" with me.

This is my favorite part about the crazy astronaut.

Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn't have to stop to go to the bathroom, authorities said. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.

I had a 7 am hearing this morning, and never really got back to sleep after putting Li'l Sphere back to bed at 4:30 this morning. It feels like suppertime right now.

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

Last night, before I went to bed, I taped my finger splint on, because I keeps sliding it off at night.

Last night, after I went to sleep, I got out of bed, came to my desk, found my scissors, cut through the tape, removed the splint, and went back to bed.

I wish I'd been properly awake for all that, because now I can't find the splint.

I think it's kinda cool that in the dark and not really awakeness I didn't cut myself. But I still need to find the brace.

What is even happening?

Iced coffee with 1/3 skim milk. Biggest one they have. Just coffee over ice with a dash of skim.
Daisy, what does '1/3 skim milk' mean? I thought you were saying 1/3 of the cup filled with skim milk, and the rest with coffee and ice, but that doesn't seem to go with the 'dash of skim'. Is 1/3 skim a type of skim milk?

I had a 7 am hearing this morning, and never really got back to sleep after putting Li'l Sphere back to bed at 4:30 this morning. It feels like suppertime right now.

Oh, Corwood. That's rough. Is Li'l Sphere sick, or just not sleeping well?
