Allyson, that's great!

So I appear to have survived the week, which, two weeks ago, I did not expect.

Whew.

There was a dicey moment early on, but it turned out to be the result of a miscommunication and lo! no one actually threatened to quit.

hides, shamefaced as has had baby in numerous bars at 9pm. Including Pat O'Briens on Bourbon Street.

Pfft. That was New Orleans. As long as Emma switched her liquor from a glass container to a plastic cup before heading out on the street, she was in the clear.

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

the bartender promptly banished us.

Yeah, Tosca's is pretty strict about that kind of stuff. However, it is illegal to have any minor inside a drinks-only bar here. Which is why a couple bars have outside seating now - it's legal to have the kid sitting outside the establishment.

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

See sarameg? Survival! All you have to do is keep getting out bed in the morning and not making any drastic decisions.

Curious about this. Because if it's true, that's too cool.

Hmph. It'll be nice to not wake up in a state of panic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I appear to have survived the week, which, two weeks ago, I did not expect.

Hooray!

Yeah, whereas in a lot of places, bars are required to serve food...

Also: quite nearly 5pm and STILL NO UPS. GRRRRRRR.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Curious about this. Because if it's true, that's too cool.
Oh, please please please let that be true...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hmm. I can't see how that wouldn't end up putting a lot of stress on the backs of the shoulders, ending up slumped over by the end of the day. Also, I can see how it could look good when you're standing still, but there's really nothing there to prevent bounce when actually moving.

My UPS guy waits to do deliveries to my complex until after 6. Maybe your is of a similar bent?

I finally figured out why the tendons in my thumb/hand joint hurt when I flex: I was having a hell of a time opening a bottle of juice the other day, and I likely bruised/pulled something in the process. It was kind of freaking me out until I remembered that. I'm not falling apart! I'm just injuring myself!
