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

Baby toes!

She's a little past the baby toes stage. I mean, she's still a baby and still has all her toes, but you're likely to get kicked in the face if you try to nibble them. And then she would laugh at you and blow a raspberry.

She's pretty actively engaged with humans now, a crawling, climbing, jabbering, whinnying, squeeking, pinching, head shaking, giggling person. She's almost a year old now.

erika, I don't know where Emmett picked up the Sammy Davis, Jr. voice. I suspect it's second hand from some Nickelodeon character.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

She's almost a year old now.

Is not.

Liar.

Watch out for the kicking feet when she starts wearing shoes. Really.

Even before then.

I put a toenail in my dad's cornea when I was three.

At a campground. After dark. 2 hours from the nearest clinic. And my mom doesn't drive well at night.

I think I got forgiven sometime in my early 20s.

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

I was already wanting to get a refund for today, since I'm in the ER again. With the pissy doctor. With what may be the worse migraine I've ever had. At least...nah, can't remember any upside.

Hell, my boss wanted to talk to me today, but there's no way I can go back into work today. And I left without telling anyone.

However, no puke or lost-important stuff on my list. Total win in the lose sense of the world.

Kid! Shut up! People in pain around here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus christ, people.

Me, I'm just trying to do the one task I had for today and STILL can't focus on! My boss was just talking to me about bringing work home (I think suggesting I should do that), so maybe I will. Of course, if I don't get it done there, I'm really screwed. Argh!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Maybe it's just me, but I can't see holding a grudge against a small child as being very rational, or decent. Or for that matter, disliking a cat or dog for perfectly natural pet behavior.

I had Ethiopian food for lunch -- chicken with red pepper/tomato sauce, chickpeas in yellow (mellow) sauce, and lots of sour injera bread made from t'eff grain. And I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow!
