And a boardfull of Buffy fans didn't notice that boys' names "Parker" and "Riley" were right next to each other (at 75 and 76)?
I noticed. It amused me. The biggest ?! for me was Trinity. Really? In the top 100?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm good at keeping my shit together
This is a true fact about you, sara. you're awesome in a pinch.
My mom's leaving tomorrow. I'm sad about it!

Aw, thanks. I'm glad I can be. I know I don't really have words in a pinch (btdt, was LAME. Pink hippos?!! jesus), so I stick to useful and taking orders.
You know, I'm glad you'll miss your mom. Not that you'll MISS her, but that she's been a boon to you and is missable.
My SIL isn't missing her mom these days , who hasn't yet met T. And that's just sad, to me. (Cause he's freaking ADORABLE. And they once had a close relationship and if there is any time to keep that with really nontoxic people, it's grandkids and and.)
People are hard, sometimes. I'm learning that. I'd been lucky, and discovering unlucky was rude and jarring. But still love the people. Even as my mouth screeches.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Frances barely registers, I think, because people named such are greatly annoyed at the lack of American ability to spell it any other way than Francis.
This is so true. I had no idea that Americans didn't know Frances is a girl's name, what with it having been so popular once upon a time and all.
One of my bestest friends named her daughter Clara Maud.
My mom's leaving tomorrow. I'm sad about it!
So was it a good visit Kat?

The visit for me has been fine. The missing her part has less to do with me and more to do with Noah and Grace. She's gone to see Grace almost every day she has been here and has spent ~3 hours a day holding her, which is exactly what Grace needs and I can't do. I wish she lived closer or would at least stay until March. Or April.

But, but a rainbow and a happy tree are not for Frances or for me! Are kids not drawing three legged cats any more?

I have words that keep fucking up, but anyway... I've been giving Grace to my friends here, and if it is any measure, she's well loved by them and I can only hope it travels contra-me-whatever (not like I ever wondered. Sheesh.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sorry that your mother's leaving too, Kat, but it's lovely that Grace got such quality time with her.
I've been put on these painkiller patches, and they're not quite sticky enough. One just slipped off in the shower, and I'm not sure if I reapply it, or toss it and start a new one. I don't remember that in the instructions.
