Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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

Is there someone in HR who can help you?

I've had help, but I'm gambling with future diagnoses, specialists, and treatments. I'd need a soothsayer.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

As for pillows, I got most of mine at Costco. If you're looking for jewel tone chenille, you can have mine. Not that avoiding a dust mite problem is exactly how I'd pitch to a mother of twin preemies, but I can't lie to you.

Hmm... Jewel tone chenille would be exactly right. But dust mites? I think that's a bad idea.

Noah opened his eyes today. It was cute. Cuter than the green gunk in his gavage tube.

Well, if you can find soft cushions that won't house them, give me a holler. I'm going to miss having cushions stacked around something terrible.

Eye opening, bathing, diapers? Good baby day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

kat, yes, I am. Plus, you know, I just really miss you. Shall I email you tomorow to find out a good time to arrive?

Robin, yep!

Yeah, ita, our current house is less dust mite heaven, but still. Hmm.... so yes that makes me reconsider your nice chenille cushions.

Art Crawl!!!

Some slightly hopeful FNL News:

NBC has ordered six more scripts.

That's good, right?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Could be what -t said or could be something on the hand wheel that toggles. I don't know that particular machine.

Yeah. It's kind of a hard one to find support for and that's before calculating in its ancientness. It could also be something on the hand wheel though, because I was having issues with the belt when pressing the pedal, so I was futzing with that a lot. Bah! I shall think no more on it!

I hope so. I would be really, really sad to see that show go. There is so much to explore there. I love how it shows that sort of small town in the (sort of by some standards) South, warts and all, and finds some real affection for the culture while acknowledging its problems.

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

The guidelines I read didn't distinguish between various sorts of cushions as potential mitehouses. But Kristin will probably know better, at the very least. But I supposed that they could make the coverings out of the same stuff as the higher end mattress covers. I don't mind the mattress cover I got, but it is noisier than I'm used to.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, if the handwheel has an inner knob/wheel that twists within the outer wheel (not turning anything like a belt, just loosening and tightening sort of on its own), that could be it. I've sewn on some machine or other that did that.
