Oh yes ALL of this is progress. The progress is why we have not used the word forever although I think that is where we are headed. We have to give mac time to do more processing on it. I just spoke with his uncle and I think we have a plan. Designated ds times: fri night at home, sat and sun on subways or cars. I will literally lock it up the rest of the time (although he won't know that)m if he goes looking for it or fights me over it, we have this discussion again and THEN it might be forever.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So are you still holding off until the end of the month before you start the designated times?

I totally have "Hush little baby.." stuck in in my head. My neighbor and his daughter were at the pool same time I was, and we walked back together. She had a little stuff heart that played it over and over and over and over.... Heh.
For all the time I spend in a swimsuit, and for all the people who only see me in a swimsuit, sorta weird talking to the neighbor wearing one. It's outside our frame of reference!
JESUS. I thought I was posting less, not posting from work very often.

I have had Alison Karuas singing "Down to the River to Pray" stuck in my head for 5 days now.

I've been stuck with Jason Mraz's live version of "Beautiful Mess."
There are far worse things with which to be earwormed.

Problem with the lullabye is I don't know the whole thing. Can't get past "diamond ring don't shine" so I start making things up and it gets really ridiculous. "...buy you a ball of twine. And if that ball of twine don't tie, mama's gonna buy you a great big pie. And if that great big pie tastes sour, mama's gonna buy you a pot of....flour." And it just gets worse. I once managed to get to cranky goat, but I'm not sure how.

Wow, that's better than I would do, sara!! (Somehow i always end up at "gonna buy you a ...diamond mine!" but then I don't know where to go from there. IF that mine don't....produce??)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm waiting for people to come by, sipping on an iffy attempt at a champagne cocktail. Substituting prosecco for champers doesn't bother me, but apparently there's a world-wide shortage of Angostura bitters? So I substituted Underberg because I could get my hands on it, and the resulting fizzy, herbal concoction is tasty. I'm just not sure it's what Rachel Maddow described as a champagne cocktail. As deprivations go, this really isn't. And I'm expecting to have a smonster and an amyth in my living room nowish, so life is good.
