Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is really exciting!

Yay for good changes, Sophia!

Got my swim in. Now know the lap schedules. Feeling slightly less vexed. A drink will hopefully work on the rest of the vexed.

Yay Sophia!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, and I was thinking of you sara, so I went in to my local aquatic center to check lesson rates and lap times. Pretty reasonable, really. I want to improve my swimming so I can do solo paddlesports.

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

Sophia, that's really cool. Even without more money, although I think you certainly deserve it.

I just pouted and wrinkled my nose to get a 10% discount. I feel I should turn my grown-woman card in. I also think I could surely have gotten the same services cheaper elsewhere, I just couldn't be arsed to find another cobbler.

My parents took me out for a celebratory dinner, and it was across the street from a place I ate a couple of weeks ago, and next door to the barber shop owned by a guy I know from high school. Not a neighborhood I had ever thought much of before the other week!

And yet, whatever the neighbors are cooking (something cheesy) smells so good, I can't take it. I'm full of gumbo! And pie! I certainly don't need any cheese.

Oh, and it today's WTFF, friend was watching something on the history channel and came across a completely bizarre "HST runs on whale oil" statement or something remarkably like. It made no sense.

Liese, hee! I'm happy to convert the willing. I know it isn't for everyone, but it's made a big difference in how I feel physically and mentally.
