I set my alarm for the first time since moving and was up at 7. Mac and I did a little yardwork together. Now a shower and work.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How's everyone doing?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
With all the crap that has gone on since Saturday neither Kelly nor I have slept much. We both took MEGA naps yesterday and we both slept through the night. I know you can't "catch up on sleep", buyt it sure feels like I have. I feel human again.
This eve I am getting my back tattoo worked on again. Getting the color and lines of the compass touched up and then working to make the sun look more sun like. I'm all bouncy and my appointment is hours away.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hawaiian Caterpillar with CLAW OF DEATH!
Which it uses to pet puppies. No, it uses it to catch and devour insects.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hi, Spidra!
Sparky, if your location on the Buffista map is accurate, there may be a closer Wegman's to you by now -- beside the one Meara mentioned in Fairfax, there's one in Sterling. And one opening soon in Maryland.

Yay! It sounds gorgeous.
I'm kinda blegh today, for no readily apparent reason. Maybe lunch with a bouncy coworker and gym after work will help.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Aims, for horrible sinus pressure, I use Afrin. I don't know if it would help with the ears.

Punishingly Intricate
I am sleepy and stressy about wedding stuff. (not about the groom though so I guess I shouldn't worry too much)
hope the surgery goes smoothly, Perkins!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy toothiness, Perkins.
I'm tentatively signed up for life drawing this evening. This is what I do during wee hours of insomnia.
Of course, it took until now to process that life drawing means drawing in front of people, which I haven't done for 20 years.
Oh.

Interesting. A Brief History Of Possibly Obsolete Time Travel Paradoxes
There is a theory (involving quantum mechanics) that says if you travel back in time, you don't need to worry about any time travel paradoxes like "what would happen if you kill your grandfather, making your own existence impossible" because quantum mechanics would prevent any such paradoxical action.
With some help from another quantum oddity, teleportation, a person or particle should be able to go back in time without running into the many damning snags that come out in “classical” ideas of time travel. This works because the time travel is occurring in a quantum system and in a quantum system, probabilities rule all. So, anything that could be caused by time travel has at least a very tiny probability of happening, some things have bigger probabilities and, importantly, some have zero probability of happening—like, say, killing yourself in the past.
The whole thing is really interesting....
