John, agreed. Especially if it means you get to take another day off later. I use the same logic for the Friday after Thanksgiving.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

5 day weekend!!
In defense of Mom, her feelings are hurt and all of the stuff I'm dealing with (feeling like I can't do anything useful, there is no control etc) must be compounded by two for her. I'm not her little girl anymore and she can neither fix my stuff nor her grandchildren's.

Anybody else read that last part as "extra droppings"?
Just me then, huh.

Ailleann needs this in a bad way.
Oh, word. I'd just randomly run up to her and accost her with it, and laugh and laugh. She would probably think even less of me than she does now.

Again, word.

I'm making a bracelet that says, "What Would shrift Do?"
I'm thinking "glower" or "slounge" would answer that question quite frequently. And really? Both extremely effective responses to the world.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Cool. That midbrain thing explains the whole blind martial arts master trope.
What is this weekend thing of which you speak?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In defense of Mom, her feelings are hurt and all of the stuff I'm dealing with (feeling like I can't do anything useful, there is no control etc) must be compounded by two for her. I'm not her little girl anymore and she can neither fix my stuff nor her grandchildren's.
Well, sure, but the hope is that at least people deal poorly in new ways, not going back to the old teenage ways!
I hate those "will we get out early???" days. I wish anyone could just make a policy about it, but no. I am looking forward to my four-day weekend.
