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

I so prayed, as I lay in bed, that it was later than this. Oh, no. It was way earlier than this. I've been up a while now. And I just went to bed. I'm going to have to work out a way to spend the day even more horizontal than normal. And that's saying something. Horizontal and hydrating--my mantra for Saturday.

Kathy, this is so exciting and I'm so proud of you - just navigating the process seems like a huge achievement.

You guys, I have whacked the hell out of my forearm on a door handle connected to a super heavy door. I recommend not doing this at all, much less to the forearm connected to your dominant hand, and even less so to the muscle groups that control wrist movement and grip. In conclusion: OW.

One of my coworkers is out this week with a concussion after an iron fell on her head. It's awful, but I can't stop picturing little cartoon birdies and stars all around. (Not to mention ACME printed on the side of the iron.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yesterday I hit myself in the face with a hammer. Then I went to a baseball game that was a similar experience, metaphorically.

Oh, ita. If a genii offered me three wishes, I'd spend one on making you well.

If I had three wishes, I'd wish you didn't hit yourself in the face with a hammer, Ginger!

Low pain threshold Olympics. Apparently the part where the needle gun gets near you is very painful too.

It's not nice to mock, but, seriously, I fell asleep during my last tattoo. How frustrating it must be to find out you just can't do it--apparently she left with a line on her back.

Because books.

My pain threshold must be higher than I thought, because tattoos can get a little irritating toward the end, or when they're filling color, but screaming? Leaving?

I hope she's fully medicated for childbirth, if she ever goes through it.

Very happy for the Matilda and family and for Kathy. Good news is awesome.

I had a nonstop 18-hour day yesterday and then didn't fall asleep until almost 2, so I was really looking forward to sleeping in. Unfortunately, ND had nasty insomnia and didn't fall asleep until almost 5, so I had to get up to feed pets at 7 and am wide freaking awake and cranky about it. If I had a pair of Jilli's crankypants I would so put them on. Too stubborn to get up and be productive, of course.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw that clip on Tosh.0. There was plenty of mocking there.

I want another tattoo soon. Skating with roller derby really makes you feel under-inked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to do something with my day, but just ugh. It looks lovely and cool outside, so maybe Goodwill. It's a long-ish walk, so no need to do a thorough culling, just as much as I feel like carrying. And then I can start fall shopping there instead of Lord & Taylor!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't think I'll be able to shut up about it.

I hope you don't because the whole process is fascinating to me, Kathy. Modern medicine, man, amazing stuff. And you seem very on top of it all and in control, which is great.

Wishing you much horizontal hydration today, ita. Sorry that you need it, of course.
