I am home. And now that I'm fed, about to log in to my work email, dammit.

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

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
Excellent, Cash!
I'm bringing: a stack of books, spring jackets (levi's denim, so cool) temporary tattoos, a Mars Rover poster signed by the lab director at JPL, and a tutu home for my niece and nephew.
And yet, I feel I have not purchased enough spoiling goods.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We do have stores here, you know...

I'm doing museum visits, and possibly horsey rides. And am also going to plant the seed that Auntie lives less than an hour from Disneyland.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
so not to worry about calling me to check on things.
This is likely key for them to know.
Ugh, I am so sorry you have to deal with all of this.
Everyone talking about not worrying about space on Gmail is freaking me out. You run out of space at 7.5 GB, people. I get yelled at by them all of the darn time. They swore that if I switched to them, I'd never have to worry abut this. They fibbed.

I am named entirely for my mother, yet I don't get to be a junior.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I knew a Laura who was called Laura Jr. by her family and friends, but I don't think she wrote it on documents.
My aunt Mary Jo (of pope killing fame) is named for her mother who always went by just Mary (though her middle name was also Josephine).
I think the use of "Jr." goes away with the assumption that the successive female will end up changing her last name.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I remember seeing some women with Jr. after their name in accounts of the Salem witch trials, but I don't know if they actually used that or if it was just done to make it clearer to the reader.

I have been to Target! Even better than Liberty of London (which all told I was really very restrained about - one men's dress shirt for me, one dress for Casper, one dress for a baby, and one picture frame for my mother) they have Converse flame sneakers for toddlers! If you know anyone with feet up to a toddler 12 or so, hie thee to Target and buy him/her some stylin' Chucks.
