Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had a nice day in the city. Met our friends at the American Museum of Natural History. Spent a few hours walking around there. Had dinner at a nice Japanese place near Times Square, then took the train back to our car.

Aw, birthday girl!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Birthday girl! That looks like a fun party.

It was exhausting (but fun). Five very well-behaved little girls for two hours and I needed the rest of the day to recover. I cannot imagine how anyone teaches kindergarten.
And in the afternoon, we got to make shrinky dinks (one of the gifts)!

Shrinky dinks are back! Whoa.

“Not dead yet!”
Aw, she looks so grown up, flea. I'm glad she recovered enough to have a good time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She looks so like you, flea.
the laundromat has more machines and is less creepy
Where have you been living? I think I'd be creeped (crept?) out living somewhere with a creepy laundry room. I can't see the creep stopping there.
Laundry room here is a tiny room that opens directly onto the courtyard, so it's not off the beaten path at all. Last place it was on the way up from the parking garage. I've been fortunate that way.
I do have a nearby laundromat for when laundry gets totally out of control and I want it all done at once, but it's been a while since I had the inclination.

I've always had them in the basement, and I generally find basements creepy anyway.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Goodness, casper's an adorable not-so-little-anymore girl! I'm glad she felt better in time for her party.
In unrelated news, I woke up feeling dizzy and blegh today. After doing a thoroughly half-assed job of helping Amyth move, I went home to sack out on the couch and ended up tossing my cookies for half an hour. I slept for a couple of hours after that and now I feel a lot better. But I'm still not 100%. This happens to me maybe once every 3-4 years, and I never know why. There was no questionable food or contact with other people having GI upsets. Sometimes I think it's just peristalsis reminding me it can make my life miserable, so I'd better appreciate it.
