Oh, the ancient dilemma. Open window for 5-10 minutes, close it and wear a short sleeve shirt?
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I turned on a fan. It's helping some.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Watching Brothers & Sisters In Love on BBC America. Judgey judgey judgey. All the couples they meet with met as adults, but I'm still ultra-squicked.
The German couple especially--she got pregnant four times in four years, and they just kept taking the kids away. I think they took the first two about the same time (just after the second was born), and the third as soon as it was born. So far the mother (dad's in jail for incest--how unfair is that?) has custody of the fourth, but they're being supervised. Wait, no, the epilogue text says she left him for someone she's not relatetd to, and is pregnant again. While he's in jail.
The American couple I judge because they say the government has no right to intrude on what goes on in their house and that the Constitution promises them the pursuit of happiness. You pretty much don't need a legal system at that point, do you? Both those assertions do need to be qualified.
There was a bonus mother/son couple in it, but I don't want to think on that too much. They would be unhealthy even if they weren't related.

Better than last time I posted about my head, that's for sure.
If only I could fall asleep.

I have one week to go before Formal Schooling is at an end -- my last class, last project for a grade. I'm auditing another class, until I get a fulltime job anyway, but a short era will end!

Well, brava to the successful end of the short era.
I don't have to leave for work for two hours. I don't know what to do with all this time.

“Not dead yet!”
Yay, Theodosia!
ita, I saw that show listing last night on BBC America and just got squicked at the thought. It's like Flowers in the Attic, the reality show.
Kind of had a bad night last night-- I haven't been sleeping with the heating pad and clearly, it makes a difference and my stomach is starting to feel the effects of the high doses of naproxyn. ugh.
