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

I swear she is sitting at home today just hoping people will miss her when she's gone.

It's the less-committed version of eavesdropping on your own funeral. Pfft.

not your mom's socks.

ok conference call leader. I'm here. my child in the next room with the fever? yeah. very tight window with the ni-hao kai-lan and the fact that the grilled cheese I made her at 1:55 is NOT going to last all day. Come on, come on!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Why does Bono sing 'Early morning, April Four' in "Pride", when MLK was shot in the early evening?

Bono says he screwed up.

Ha. Just like the Sublime song "April 29, 1992." About the events of April 29, 1992. In which the first line is "April 26, 1992."

Yay Mr. flea!

So it only took Byron ten minutes after we got home from his final surgical check-up to pee in ND's suitcase. Yeah, he's feeling better.

Good news, though--the histopathology confirmed that the amputation, as awful a decision as it was, was the right choice. They were able to completely remove all cancerous material, so he has a real chance for more years or healthy & happy, albeit three-legged, life. Phew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Where is my darn UPS shipment?? The UPS site says "On truck for delivery" at 7:30AM!! It's now 11AM! Hrmph.

At my house, the site says it's out for delivery in the early morning, but the UPS guy doesn't actually come to my neighborhood until like 8pm. FYI. Which is awesome, but only once you know that's what's going to happen.

It's the less-committed version of eavesdropping on your own funeral. Pfft.

It's just the culmination of her overriding need to be liked, really. Note to people who may be bosses, now or in the future: having people like you isn't actually Job One.

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

Also, yay on the cancer removal thing too!

What happens if you go home sick right now?

Tempting! I may go home a few hours early, if only for a nap.

At least it looks like the latest thing people want me to do is, in fact, impossible. I feel validated.
