You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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

God, I should have called in sick today.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Newish. But I saw this magnet at a bookstore: [link] and I went searching for it before I saw the saying on your site.

Papers were half-assed graded and now I'm sending in the assessments. Gr. Done for the day.

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

One place I worked had signs that said, "Unattended children will be eaten, no questions asked." The espresso and kitten threat is probably more menacing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Note to self: start buying Mr. Clean Magic Erasers in bulk.

Oh dear, Cash. Maybe investing in duct tape would help too?

Our wings are not tired.

A breakfast joint near us has a sign "Unattended children will be sold as slaves." Imma thinking unattended children aren't popular many places.

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

Imma thinking unattended children aren't popular many places.

Yeah. Ever since they were responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire....

So. Damned. Tempting.

I'll flirt with child abuse. Really. Not that I'd do anything but I can think about it.

The trick is to direct their naughty activities into constructive ones. How the fuck I'm supposed to do that is beyond me. I did call my mother and apologize profusely for every mark and "drawing" I ever made on her walls.

I'm sure she's going to get that voicemail and pee her pants laughing.

Oh Jimmy. "Tittilating." I think only you could possibly get away with that.
