Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks for the suggestions. There's a new Sally's Beauty Supply place that might want to advertise and some spas we can hit. My comic shop dude said he wasn't interested but I can try again. I wish we had a skate shop! Sadly we have to order our gear online or in Appleton.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, at any point have I been unclear about my inability to take care of myself? Do you seriously think I can take care of anything or anyone else right now? Seriously?
I'm not speaking to your experience specifically, but to the general "I could never do that" class of comments. I think you are absolutely right that you are not in a position to take care of somebody else.
But if Grace were in your care, and you two were stranded you would tend to her no matter how incapacitated you were. I believe that anyway. That people will do things for a child in their care that are beyond their capacity or will or desire to do for themselves.
Like, if I were stranded in the snow with a broken leg I'd probably curl up in a ball and freeze to death. But if I had Matilda with me I'd drag myself out of the mountains on a bloody stump with her on my back.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
God. How I Met Your Mother is not supposed to make you cry right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the only thing I really try and do, keep this job. I'm operating in a constant state of paranoia and conviction that it can't last, though.

I'm happy for both you and Matilda in this scenario. You have spoons in your back pockets.
I would really REALLY not recommend anyone strand me on a bad day with a child. Or a cat. Or themselves. But this is not something I can talk about without getting inordinately upset, and I'm at work, and this is no time for it.

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
Jesus, David.
Compassion comsmassion, you're causing emotional distress to a woman who can accidentally kill you with her thumb. Now where would Matilda be then?
(Besides surround by a crowd of cheering people becuase ita FINALLY got to kill someone with her thumb.)
