Oh, Kat. My thoughts and love is with you and Noah and Grace. I'm so sorry that life is dogpiling on you guys so horribly.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Noah's surgery is not a huge deal. Routine for micro preemies. It's only a big deal in that the onset of the retinopathy has been so late.
I feel like the future for Noah and Grace is like a Wally Lamb book.
But, again, whatever. There's really nothing I can do about it.

Yup. Been thinking about you, Kat. I know it's tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In news about me, is there any good way to say to one's boss, "You know, I can only focus on so many things at one time!!" I think the real problem right now is that the number of things I can focus on is approaching zero, but still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Delicious grilled panini sandwich for lunch. Yummers.
I have been informed this morning by sundry strangers that I am a) working that corset b) rocking that corset c) sexy. Which probably means I'm not appropriately dressed for work. Ooops.

I used to have this issue a lot when I started my last job. I had to keep sitting my boss at the time down and have him prioritize tasks for me. And, to some extent, I just had to get used to those priorities changing on a dime and having to do many different things at once.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shit. I forgot all about project donkey.
