You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Ginger, thank you!!

Some of my coworkers frequent the Y. I kinda dread the inevitable locker room encounter. Weird enough conversing with my neighbor in our swimsuits.

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

Locker rooms totally don't count. Working at krav meant I was often in just panties in front of students and teachers, and as far as I was concerned there was a clause of no-concern there. Although some people did go into the stalls to change.

Which, ew, stalls, and there were only two, so sometimes you had to do the pee-pee dance while people were changing clothes.

They have 5 or 6 curtained dressing rooms, but I can't be bothered. I pretty much discard all modesty in the locker room.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My sister finally sent me the stuff I need to do my taxes.

This morning.

Niiiice.

Because books.

Pregnancy sort of ruined modesty for me. I was still getting stitched up after Sara's birth when a woman from the kids' school, and only a very casual acquaintance, but also a NICU nurse at the hospital, came in to see me. I was pretty much like, hey, don't mind the gore, I'm good, there's my baby.

Well, Amy, a NICU nurse has seen it all since they do attend emergency C-sections where they think a kid will be in the NICU. I had at least two in my delivery room (along with surgical OB nurses, 5 doctors and a partridge in a pair tree).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I recently realized I have no fire escape from this apartment, and now I'm scared. There's a weird ledge off my bathroom window that doesn't lead anywhere, but might let me get to an adjoining window, if I could get out that window. Which I'm not sure I could, since the window itself is screwy.

In short: I hope my apartment doesn't catch on fire.

My boss seems to have a nervous tic where he tells me something vaguely personal while he signs my timesheet. Today was about taxes, and I felt such shame--I'd promised myself I'd do them yesterday, but I only got as far as gathering the documents.
