Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey Jilli, send me your addie. I got you a present at the Book Expo!
I also got my Bronze Award certificate thingy. It's pretty neat! Also, I saw Kat and got Batman and Wonder Woman temporary tattoos.
Dark Horse wouldn't give me free stuff, for they are lame.

I'm working this weekend, but it's pretty fun work, what with the lander on Mars and all. I have to go in to work at 7:30p and be there through 3am or so. Currently at a great happy hour a a Zona 78 and perhaps I shouldn't have had that second draft Mothership Wit. Maybe the garlic breath from the sauteed calamari will cover!

Yay Bronze award!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for winning the bronze, Allyson!
Your job has much coolness, lori.
My weekend is fairly open other than a Saturday play date for Frances and a looming sore throat. With luck, the sore throat will go away quietly tonight without any fussing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
DH is off at a retreat on Whidbey Island with his church men's group until tomorrow afternoon, so for the next 24 hours or so it's just minding Annabel, laundry, and trying to get some writing and reading in when she's asleep or amusing herself. No real plans for after DH gets back either, which is nice, because next week at work will be crazy.
Annabel just came upstairs, put on her crown, admired herself in the mirror, and went downstairs to throw a birthday party for one of her stuffed animals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've got to decide what to do about my eyes. When they put me on the morphine, vision was one of the things that got shot. If I relax and let the images of each eye slide out of registration, each picture is perfectly focussed. If I don't--if I fight for a perfect overlay, everything has a bit of a halo.
My eyes can't have actually gotten worse because of the morphine, right? I figure I just have to remember how to see properly. Sometimes it's just fine, and sometimes I'm thinking too hard.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Saturday is the World Science Festival street fair.
Sunday is open, but will probably involve a walk up to Dub Pies for breakfast and then a stop at the Tot Lot on the way home for D. And at some point I need to dye my hair for lo, it is faded and orange in the back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I love having a friend on my block! It's so nice to just spend a couple of hours in bar with friends without a lot of planning and travel. And two hours was just about all I had in me. Bed soon.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
That's a great book! I read it some time last year, and keep hoping for a second one. It fits in nicely with the Kiki Strike novels, thematically.
Steph, there IS a second one in an ARC that she was signing also. Bummer that I didn't get it.
Guess what I'm teaching for the next 14 days? Business.
bahahahahah.
ahem....
