I'm done with my taxes! All I have to do is copy them tomorrow, and then I will be able to mail them ONE WHOLE DAY EARLY!
eta: Ugh. Poor Mac, and poor Rebecca.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

oh msbelle, poor you and poor mac!
We woke up early, had an omelette and went to The Songkran Festival at the Thai Buddhist Temple not far from our house (in the picture, which I didn't take). There was the best chicken satay I've ever had, plus a cool building with awesome statues.
I think we must have looked confused because an ICE officer stopped to tell us what was happening.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Actually has not been that bad for me. I set him up in front of the tv and took a nap while he was at his whiniest and got up just as he was conking out. He seems to be feeling better and has has a half slice of bread and Gatorade. I hope he keeps it down and can make it to school tomorrow.

not your mom's socks.
Yay Tom!
Poor Mac! There but for the grace of... Oh hell. we were there last week. Passing you our bottle of get-through-it.
Kat - that sounds & looks awesome.

Happy Birthday, Lilybean!! Three, though? Really? Wow.
Yay, Tom!
Feel better, Mac.
I eated too much at Ruby Tuesday. And I even brought stuff home. I feel myself slipping slowly into a food coma. Not that slowly, actually.

Yay Tom!
I think the best of all worlds is store that sells snacks, liquor, live bait and ammo. 'Cuz then you're pretty much set for the weekend.
There used to be a store here that had a sign advertising "Greeting Cards and Ammunition." A friend called it the "Hello and Goodbye" store.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still haven't done my taxes. I made sure to buy a PC this weekend so I'd have no excuse not to, but sitting upright is wholly unappealling.
Horizontal and feeling sorry for myself. I should probably get back to at least the horizontal part of it--try and put a kibosh (is that what that means? never used it before) on the whiny thing.
Happy birthday to Lillian, and congrats to Tom. Oh, and hugs to sickie Mac. Has he seen The Princess Bride yet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
ita, you should try to stay horizontal while filing for an extension.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, how do I make the burning stop on my fingers after chopping pickled jalapenos? Soap and water didn't do it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Dip them in a little bit of milk? Or baking soda and water? Not sure, but it seems like those might work.
