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

Strength and serenity to the households of msbelle and Suzi. Much love coming from this corner.

Happy birthday to Dana and Ellie--much love again.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Sad about David Carradine. Yet I wonder, does autoerotic-asphyxiation occur more often than I'd think? Cause I'd think that's really more unusual than celebrity deaths make you think.

So, where are you thinking of moving?

Perhaps up in La Crescenta. The preschool that's at the top of our list is in Montrose. I like the LCV school district so much better long term. Who knows though?

Jarrett W is an excellent instructor, btw, Kat. One of my favourites, although he thinks I'm quite strange and a lesbian to boot.

But the way K described Krav made me too afraid to ever try. Crab crawling! ARGH!

Dag, ita, you're full of love this morning.

You were a gymnast! Surely they work hard.

Also, SuziQ, so sorry about your mom.

msbelle, smooth sailing to you and mac. Hope things calm down as much as possible.

K played college level hockey and tried out for the olympics. Surely the work hard too.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Crab crawling! ARGH!

Crab crawling is a good time to suddenly realize you have to go to the bathroom. Very easy to slip out for two minutes. [ETA: Also good for the "wheelbarrow" races.]

Yeah, but she's not afraid of it! I wasn't impugning her toughness (at all), just wondering that krav traingin would be on a different order of difficulty from competitive gymnastic training.

“Not dead yet!”

Much ~ma to msbelle.

Also, gronk. Got home from the doctor's a couple of hours ago and promptly fell asleep. Stupid blood draw. At least Lewis fed me before I face-planted.

Diagnosis is straight up iron deficiency anemia. So now I get to try taking an iron supplement with a chaser of vitamin C daily. The real fun will be in seeing if I can tolerate it. The iron is going to be in liquid form first. If that doesn't work, then we'll try pills. If that doesn't work, then we'll do the one shot iron IV which is easier, because it's once, but it's a) a six hour procedure and b) carries some risk.

Let's hope I can tolerate the liquid form.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck with the iron absorption, Barb.

Birthday happies for Dana and Ellie!
