This is a cool story. Guy sees refugee kids in Darfur playing soccer with a ball of taped trash. Decides to create an indestructible ball that can't be punctured or deflated.

Movers get here by 9am tomorrow! Possibly earlier! WHEE!
We got the frame for mac's new hi-lo bed up today. Put away all the temporary stuff my parents had brought over and we now have a thunder storm blowing in that is scaring the cats.
We both survived church and I even met some parents of kids mac's age. Good start.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Ok- I am pretty sure this is TMI for this thread, but I have to share in case I somehow die in my sleep and am found like this. Also, it is pretty funny.
I have a rash under my breasts from sweat and heat. I have no air-conditioning, so the treatment (powdered anti-fungal) just gets wet and gross in my house, and so each week I seem like I am on the verge of a cure, but the weekend spent in the sweaty hot apartment undoes it.
It irritates me to wear a bra, and it irritates me to not wear a bra. I was thinking that a cotton bra would be nice, but I do not have one. Then I was reading online about a woman who cuts up sweat socks to put in her bra to keep the area dry.
So, because I am the creative type, I am now sitting here with a pair of cotton underwear fashioned into a bra via cutting and tying and 2 hand crocheted 100% cotton washcloths in the bra, one under each boob.
It seems to be helping but I must look ridiculous.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But no one can see you, so it's all good. Except, of course, now we can all picture it.
Good one, msbelle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, I'm so glad I decided to leave the house. The migration we're undertaking this weekend is still underway. I would have been going bananas at home. At least I got to meet some new people (and sip on some vodka). And the pool thing, and also the Colin thing.

See, I felt bad for you having to work all weekend, but now NSM.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sophia, I use bandannas. Why any woman would want her boobs to be bigger, I can't fathom.

I do not foresee getting a good sleep tonight. I am SOOOOOO excited to get my stuff. Some of it has been in storage for like 2 months and still other stuff 10 months.

ita, I'm glad you went.
Sophia, this is the thread in which I admitted to wearing frozen peas on my head. So.
Yay movers! That was nice and fast.
I'm sorry for being so one note in here of late. In between giving myself more projects than I can probably handle, I've been kinda spacy with the aunt stuff. Not really feeling or processing a lot, just sort of in a free floating distracted/ misplaced anxiety state.
Stay in touch with relatives you like. Cause if you don't, well, it kinda can suck.

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
Sophia, don't you think that sort of talk belongs in Bitches?
Don't worry, if you die in your sleep we will show up with print-outs and defend your honor.

Silly woman. Those boobs don't lie on you and give you prickley heat. They stand up like little spherical soldiers.
