I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Corwood, very sorry for your family's loss. Knowing it's coming doesn't make it any easier upon arrival.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had a crown put on today.(actually, a temporary crown. I have to go back in two weeks for the permanent one) I took the rest of the day off since I figured I'd either have have my face feeling numb, or my jaw would be aching all day. Then I managed to smack my knee hard on the doorframe coming in, and no, I'm not sure how I did that one. Now it hurts.

I got some good news over the weekend. Two of my best friends, a couple, are expecting. The wife is four months pregnant. I'd love some general first-pregnancy-mah, as I guess they've been trying and had a complication last year.
I'm so not a kid person, but for some reason I'm kinda psyched about this. More than with any of my sister's pregnancies, quite honestly, but most of those happened at absolutely the wrong age (I was 8 when the first of the eventual eight niece/nephews were born, and the next six were within five years of the first, so this was during pre-teen/teendom - not the best time to have to learn to share your siblings' affections when you've been the baby of the family up to then).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The father of a friend of my sister's was voted into government in India, but didn't move into the official residence since monkeys had the run of the place.
Now, that's a third world problem.

You'd think they'd have monkey exterminators for that sort of thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Being India, "extermination" isn't an option.

There's a cool documentary called Cheeky Monkeys that shows up on Animal Planet et al -- it's about urban monkeys in Capetown, SA. Not only are they genuinely cleverer than raccoons, they have real opposable thumbs AND they will travel in groups of 10-40. And the monkey 'troops' (correct group name) get into territorial fights.
I'll take a skunk anytime, please.

I am so sorry for your loss, Corwood. I think Tara was right when she said, "It's always sudden."

a co-worker's parents have been evacuated and told their house is burned down now. She is not having a great day.
