Manageable treatment, early stages, she already knew she would likely have motility issues later in life (bad fibro, arthritis- she's my age) blahblahblah. I know she'll deal ok, and that right now, the hardest part for her is telling others and dealing with their reactions (she gave a clear outline of what would not help.) I just wish ...well, that it wasn't.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

What is even happening?
Screw the climate-control. Let 'em burn.But I want them retrievable. I mean, what if one random year, I give up all semblance of self-control for Lent?
Also Narrator!Niece a/k/a Princess of the World, is 8 years old today. Party is tomorrow. We are expecting pink.YIKES! Too fast. I shouldn't be surprised. Julia has been 8 for nearly 7 months, but still.
If I remember anything at all about Narrator!Niece, you'd better do more than expect pink. You'd best produce it.
And where the holy heck have you been? I don't think I like your job any more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, your poor friend, sara.
So, in addition to my ridiculous real-estate browsing habit in New York, now I'm looking at places in Las Vegas. Dude! We decided it would be too hard to go in on a vacation place! STOP LOOKING.

I like to torment myself looking at real estate in places I'd love to live, but couldn't find work and would eventually go crazy in. Vegas...well, I love the geography I've seen from the plane and airport. It intrigues.

It's all because we stay in this house there, so why don't we own one? The weekly rentals would cover the mortgage! It would be like a free place to stay!
Yeah, and then the lawyers got there and started talking about liability insurance, and the open pool, and management companies, and whatnot.

How much does my twisted mind adore the fact that on the Rio Grande in my hometown, there is a La Llorona Park? [link]
I mean, sorrowful child-murdering ghost who lures children to their drowning? So yeah, we named a park after her.

Meara, you know I would totally go gay for you, honey.
Whoot! I DID just tell the recruiter this morning that any city on a coast, or Chicago, was fair game...
"I don't understand why you don't want to sleep with me."
I feel your pain, Allyson. Why is there not magic connection in brains, where you are only attracted to those who are likewise attracted to you??
"WTF, lady, there's a whole sidew-- Oh, HI!!"
Hah! That's funny. Yay, running into people on teh street.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"WTF, lady, there's a whole sidew-- Oh, HI!!"
I keep reading that HI in lolcat pidgin, and it does amuse me muchly to imagine Jesse saying "Oh, HAI!11!"
Today I'm going to take it where I can get it.
Things I didn't say today:
"Ow"
"Please don't be so excited about what you think I can do for you. One of us is estimating this thing wrong. Better not be me."
"Sorry...are you still talking?"
"Where were you when that would have been useful, tosser?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm home.
It's Friday
I have beer.
