Reverse ...well, something. Not psychology. Poopology?

Short of a space suit, you're guaranteed an overrun somewhere.

Good documentation, Jen!

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

Are you planning on babyjacking?

Never hurts to know.

Because why not add superficial facial pain to the mix?

Yes. Superficial, and deliberate.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Is this misanthropy, I ask you?

That's a very good picture of you Tep! I covet that top.

Just got up from a nap and need to get dressed to meet L. Want to meet L, just wish we could do Happy Hour here.

yep! deliberate...a pain of choice, not otherwise.

K is taking her comprehensive exams for grad school today and tomorrow. She has asked friends to come down to help and her sis is here to watch Noah. The result is, oddly, more stress for me. Everyone except the friend's DH has taken Noah shopping at ikea. May he poop there, is all I can say.

Me? I'm taking a nap and reading a book. I'm tired, but I need down from everything else time but not asleep time, if that makes sense. And reading does that for me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hmm, I should get my brows done, too.

I'm done with chores for the moment and am now drinking iced coffee. Mmm. I should try making cold brewed some time.

I am Tuesday's child and yet fairly prone to pratfalls.

I do know what you mean, precisely because I'm the opposite. I would prefer to be unconscious.

Short black dress, dog collar, granny boots and thigh-highs that say "bitch."

That's how I'd dress if I were going out tonight.

It's kinda like planning my trip to Belize.

That makes total sense, Kat. I treasure my all alone time even more than I do my nap time.

That's hilarious. "So the first week you were home, you went to IKEA FIVE TIMES." Also, easily cleanable surfaces there.

I'm a big fan of downtime. Big huge fan.

and not my responsibility to clean them! K was shocked at how much you have to port along with Noah. In addition to the extra diapers, wipes and change of clothes, with him you also need a bottle, his meds and nipple (which I forgot to take to the doctor) as well as an apnea monitor and his oxygen bottle. Plus his car seat.

Travelling light is not an option.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Disassembling the entire back door...that's impressive.

See, I could break in to the back door of the garage with a credit card, which then armed me with power tools, and a keen desire to reach the bathroom certainly helped.

I could also tell you a story about how the doorknob on my bedroom door went crazy a while back and trapped me in there. Thank god the hinges were inside and I am the kind of geek who keeps a screwdriver in her computer desk.

Now if I'd only had a child to support at the time, I would have just yoinked the unemployed loser pity crown from you there. Locked myself INSIDE, baby.
