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

Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank, dies at 100

Gies refused to read the papers, saying even a teenager's privacy was sacred. Later, she said if she had read them she would have had to burn them because they incriminated the "helpers."

That's some pretty powerful stuff.

I don't even know what to say, msbelle, besides repeating how much I admire you for your love and courage with Mac.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, I'm surprised Miep Gies was still alive.

In other horrible news, a friend of mine just updated me on a bananas situation in someone else's family, that's really not mine to share, but may I say how happy I am for my mental health?

msbelle, I hope you can find something more structured (maybe an academic thing or tutor?), and some good help for you!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh msbelle. I hope that things get more stable soon.

I have had a day. No breaks at all until 6:30 or so. So tired. But I should go help Frances with her reading homework as she needs someone to read it to.

Oh I also wanted to say about the bear: I have a friend who lives in Tahoe. She had a bear break into her neighbor's side of her duplex and try to open her fridge to get at the melon in there. Freaked her the hell out.

Evidently the bears in Tahoe likes them some human food and are more than capable of opening doors.

That was raccoons when I lived in the mountains. Thankfully, the bears tended to take one look at the humans and flee.

I just remembered the weird dream I had last night. I was drinking beer in it. I hate beer.

I don't wanna do all day meetings. I don't wanna deal with the hell that was this weekend at work and continued into today and I had to do panic mop up during meeting breaks. And I *may* have inadvertently fucked things up worse, but I think I caught it in time. Needless to say it had me running through the halls to get to my computer to terminate a process. Uhg.

Don't lick your fingers off after making your lunch if you recently applied neutrogena hand lotion. Blech.
