Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Best wishes for Kat and ita.

On a lighter note, Conspiracy Theory: Did the Boston Red Sox Really Win the World Series?

It's not looking good for the Royals this year. I was hoping they could build on their one game from last place finish with at least a two games from last place finish. It's still early though.

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

I'm done having my emotional meltdown. Everything seems more melodramatic when unexpected events occur at 4:00 AM. Even if you are already awake at 4:00 AM.

Chances are I have the virus (if the CDC is to be believed) and let's hope I was exposed to it before this so it doesn't manifest in mono. I have to call my doctor's office at 8:30 (meh) and I'll try to talk to a nurse to get an answer. In the mean time I should take a shower.

Things on my list for the day, in honor of msbelle.

    • steam clean glider (seriously this will take me forever)
    • label full boxes and move to the garage
    • send in rebate form
    • continue to search for mother's day gift
    • buy two baby gates after I measure the doorways
    • leave message for social worker at NICU re: regional center
    • call my OB to get leave forms that I left there because I need them by Friday.
    • get wireless USB adapter for Tivo (please let this work as we don't have a phone line)
    • possibly order a phone line

Last night was a rough one! Sheesh. I'm glad ita is perkier this morning and that ...well. It is not longer 4 am. And I vote no mono.

Today has been too busy already. Want nap.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so I am "busy" in the waythat I desperately need things to be done, but cannot do any of them myself.

I am supposed to have a client call in 30 minutes, but the person who I need on the call with me is in jury duty and unsure if she will have break. So I have had to to the client (that we are already 2 days late in delivering to) that I am not sure if we can have the call or not and I am not sure when I will know when we can have it. Awesome. Totally responsible appearance.

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

Baby hedgehogs!!!

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

Oh man, Kat, I'm sorry you got handed one more thing to deal with, but as always, I am impressed with how you are handling it.

They're cute, but mean when they grow up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Kat, best of luck in dealing with all your stuff. You're handling everything with such grace, it is truly amazing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

In honor of Kat, I am eating a Dots cupcake for breakfast.

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

My stockings are in honour of Kat. Seriously.

I bought the pinstripe ones too. Not sure I have the right skirt for them yet.
