But since they called me, and I didn't have a good excuse at the ready, I caved and committed.
Perhaps one of the kids needs to get into a time-consuming (and yet perfectly safe for them) escapade that prevents you from attending??
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

After this morning, I'm escapaded out. I'd be happy to take them out to eat so I don't have to wash dishes or clean up. And they'll make a handy excuse for leaving early.

Kat--I hope you feel less at the end of your rope than you did yesterday.
ita, my rope is mostly gone. I just had an extremely upsetting phone call withe Grace's doctor and I have a job interview in less than 3 hours. Can't really concentrate or get my face unpuffied.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, fuck, Kat. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a wonderful interview Jilli! "treated rather shabbily" is such a great phrase.
Aaaand, bringing the Jilli is lovely and youtube convos together...I saw my first HIM video yesterday and immediately thought of Jilli.
That Ville Valo fellow is dreamy.
