Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My niece was terrified of the pig I got her, it made her cry. It was a No Win xmas for Auntie.

Two questions: was it a live pig? and how old is the niece?

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

We left my aunt's Christmas dinner early because I have a headache--or rather my sister and I did. We drove in separate cars because my father forgot my scent sensitivity and put on cologne.

Problem is my mother has the meds I need to take before I fall asleep, and they're not here yet.

Christmas at home was...adult. Very little in the way of opening stuff, no egg nog made or special meals. Sparse, I guess, but good.

Oh! They're here. My meds have arrived, with parents.

Yeah for meds! Hope the rest of your stay is less painful, ita.

Yay for meds. Are you going to get some beach time?

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

Not a live pig, a super soft stuffed animal. Round, beach ball sized, with a little boingy tail. For some reason, my niece is afraid of stuffed animals and no one told me. She's 14 months old.

Vampire People was gifted? Yeah? That's so awesome!

gifted by an non fandom or Buffy person. just sayin'. He knows I like it, knows I know you, he read it and found it funny, so he gifted to some big Buffy fans.

I forgot to mention this on Wednesday. Someone at work gave me this: [link] I am all for people giving the assistants gifts, especially if said assistants process the paperwork so that you can get paid, but, um, huh.
