By the way, Rogue has a Juniper Pale Ale out right now that is fantastic.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And no human face, right?
Correct.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry about Pearl, Theresa.
Happy birthday, Matilda!
Spidra, glad you made a new friend!
Suzi, it's wonderful, and amazing, that your cousin is recovering so well.
Since Tokaji is made from grapes infected with the "noble rot", I wonder if I, being very allergic to mold, would have a bad reaction to drinking it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I'm at work again, which totally means that I'm due some comp time. I wonder which day of the week next week would be good to ask for a day off?

Thursday! I'm free until my 9 o'clock flight.
(Or I suppose you could make plans that don't revolve around me. I suppose.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I met a fellow traveller this morning. A few ER visits ago I mentioned sharing a room with a patient that seemed totally entitled--but good way entitled. She was asking for a lot of dilaudid, and like she was expecting to get it.
I struck up a conversation with her this morning. Boy, can the lady ever talk. More than I could keep up with, because I certainly fell asleep during the middle of some of her answers.
She did have some assertiveness-about-your-meds suggestions that I appreciated.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
She did have some assertiveness-about-your-meds suggestions that I appreciated.
Cool! Like what?

What is even happening?
I'm so sorry about Pearl, Theresa.

That's good, ita. It's a hard time to be assertive, I'd imagine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. Teppy, I got your note. Thank you.
Happy Birthday, Matilda. My theory has always been that four is the very best age to be. I expect you to prove me right, this year.

Really? She's been super whiny this week. Though Emmett got about 200% easier after he was 4.5.
I've been anxious about this transition stretch with the new school. I know there will be heels dug in and tears shed for several weeks.
Then again, she's been such a fuss butt this weekend it won't be a huge change.
I should note that the fussy is about 20% of her waking time and the rest is cheery and charming with much imaginative play, verbal invention and long, misremembered stories with curious and surreal narrative turns.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. Teppy, I got your note. Thank you.
Let me know what you get -- I love to live vicariously through others' booze!
