The benadryl finally allowed me to breathe enough to fall asleep only to be woken up breathing in cigarette smoke fronm upstairs again. I know I am being irrational, but right now am crying and I feel like packing up all our stuff so we move asap.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay for being co-opted, Jess and Fone!
I think it's okay to cry over spilt $100 perfume. Also, I will never think that my BPAL perfume is expensive again.
Today clarified three things for us: 1) R's mother really doesn't care; 2) We don't have current phone numbers for some family members; 3) We need to update legal documents for Mal custody, just in case we are both in the embassy when something bad happens. Best to get those lessons learned from a minimal attack like this, I think.
The big crisis today was that Mallory got a cut on his cheek. I have no idea how - I was carrying him on my shoulders and we looked in the mirror and he was fine, then 30 seconds later R helped him dismount and he was howling and his cheek was running with blood. Trying to get first aid onto the face of a baby who is thrashing and fighting for his life is tough. After that, Mal just collapsed, like a switch had been thrown, curled up on R's lap.

Why don't you give that a try, Hec?
I'm gonna need a Canadian and a gum wrapper...

Isn't he a little young for dueling scars? Maybe you should keep him away from the other knife-fighting toddlers for a while.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
A variation is the frammistat, which frequently has to be replaced.
Let's get precise, shall we? It's the frammistat in the jimjam that needs replacing. At least, around the family I grew up with.
Raq, poor Mal! Now you're going to have to enroll him in Heidelberg University.
sj, even if your landlord can't do anything about it, I'm sure that you or your landlord can contact the owner of the flat up above to present your complaint. Is there a condo association that handles both of these residences that you can get in touch with?
