Dear hormones, you win. Love, Jess.
Aw. That's got to be hard.
Except that I never had an old boyfriend named Max, nor as best I can recall was I compositing real people and celebrities together.
So random!
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm spending the weekend preparing to go back to work on Monday, which so far has meant a fair amount of sobbing while I hold D and think things like "This is the last 2:37 pm on a Friday we'll have together!" Dear hormones, you win. Love, Jess.
Ooof. Jessica, that's rough.

And may I add, Max, whoever he was, was pretty neat. Too bad I never met him....

I'm sorry, Jessica. Who is keeping DZ when you go back?
PS: Dear Hormones, She can take the occasional Friday off and have MANY MORE 2:37 pm moments with him.
In other baby news, The Dillo has been crying since he got up at 8. I have no idea why. I gave him tylenol 20 minutes ago, hoping it's more molars coming in. Poor him; poor me (I need to clean the house, since my inlaws are coming this afternoon!)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This afternoon G goes to renew his passport.(There's some sort of special passport thing going on with some of the local post offices) Beyond that, I have no idea.

Somehow a simple walk just turned into a $350 trip to the vet. Arrrgh.
(Oh, to be clear, nothing bad happened. We just were headed that direction and I remembered that shots were coming due.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Who is keeping DZ when you go back?
MTW next week we have various family members coming into town to babysit, and then Ethan will be home for most of September, and then he goes into daycare.
As soon as the laundry's done, we're taking a trip to the local baby consignment store to trade in the two carriers I don't use for some fall/winter clothes in case there's another early cold spell, and also see if they have any exersaucers or extra hanging toys for his stroller/gymmini.
Poor Dillo. Teething is hard!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ and Matilda (looking super pretty in a tiny black satin dress) are off to brunch with meara. I get the evening socialization with Teppy & Boy tonight.
I'm up because I had a weird not-nightmare.
I had weird dreams last night and they were all shrift's fault!
Why the fuck would I even need to dream about members of Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance?! Huh? Because I looked at her stupid picspacm, that's why.
Bonus dream weirdness: they were hanging out with an un-animated version of the sea captain (from the Frying Dutchman) on The Simpsons.

Timelies!
Looks like we got no rain last night and the river is down below 14'. It needs to drop another 4 feet to be not in flood.
A friend of mine told me, but did not send me the url for a blog that had excellent pictures of the Kish in flood -- including several taken right next door to where I used to live. So frustrating because I cannot find the blog. I did find these pictures of the flood. But they're not the right ones.

Okay, it wasn't a blog! It was the Daily Chronicle website. Check out the picture - the guy "walking" his six month old puppy on John Street (where I used to live) is a winner!
(ETA - about the 10th picture - guy rowing in his front yard - that is just down the street from where I used to live!)
This blog has some excellent pictures of NIU and DeKalb underwater.
