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

Kat, I hope it does just turn out to be misplaced. That's crappy as hell otherwise.

Hec alert.

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

Bobbi, they don't lowjack the babies in the NICU because when you hear about baby snatching, it's always the fat healthy babies. I mean, seriously? You can't snatch Grace because she comes with a ventilator, an IV stand, and two monitors. Plus NICUs tend to be locked wards -- even at Children's you need to be let in by the nurse; you can't just walk in.

(Related: Noah had surgery on Monday and he had an overnight in the Peds unit at his old hospital. While in the NICU there, he was never security tagged, but in Peds he was. Again, it's too hard to steal a NICU baby, but a Peds baby is easier).

I hope it just got misplaced. But, I would say that it wouldn't be surprising if it walked out with someone. At least the books that paperdol brought Grace are still there. But I guess no one steals books in the ghetto.

Mena Suvari usually has a giant forehead. Maybe she shaved it because she was going bald already? Like scary male pattern baldness, but on a girl.

That's just wrong, Kat.

Nails done, more than half packed. I think I'm in good shape. Flight isn't until 2, but I have to vacuum & take the cat to the vet and the Virgin Music Festival is between me and the vet. Glarg.

Our wings are not tired.

Shaved head would be convenient.

I hope Jacques is tucked in a drawer somewhere.

I checked the weather at Cape Canaveral to see if the launch would go off tomorrow. Habit I guess since I can't exactly drive there. Weather Underground shows current temp at 0F -17.8C which amuses me. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec alert.

Thank you! I would not have pegged her for the type, but I like it on her. She does have a ginormous five-head. t /Tyra But it still works.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Tyra did not come up with fivehead!

I know it would not work on my face, but I want to shave my head some day. I think after the wedding I might go with something pixieish.

Yet, I think that's not truly the temperature.

I'm updating Noah's care sheet.

David, she doesn't have a five-head. She has more of a seven-head.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just got back from first day at a new temp assignment.

At my last assignment they paid me not so much money for difficult and complex, fairly high responsible work.

Today I got paid almost double that to sit around and read magazines and eat free opera cake and salad with London broil and mediteranean coulis.

Why? Because on this job I was an "Executive Assistant."

WTF? Why the work world gotta be so inequitable?

Pity me! They made me eat opera cake until I was stuffed!
