Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy, I hope your week gets better. Monday can back the fuck off any time now.

I'm gronkified because I was up until 2 working on stuff and doing laundry. DH was surprised I was angry with him last night because he did nothing to help me yesterday. Granted, I know it was Father's Day but I basically did ALL the work associated with the previous week's head lice problem--including stipping all the beds TWICE this weekend and doing all the laundry in the house (and that's not hyperbole). Not to mention doing several combing sessions on the kids' hair to make sure they are nit-free so they could go to day camp this week.

I ended the weekend exhausted and cranky and it's just now abating.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Steph, that is no way to spend a birthday.

Really, Cash, he was surprised? Eesh. Who wouldn't be angry they had to do all that alone?

Hey, isn't this where we were discussing songs with our names? I just had one pop up for megan walker on my iTunes. [link] (unless I'm totally wrong about her name, which would be embarrassing)

Oh man, I hate nit-combing. We've had a head lice incident a couple of times now, though I think the second one was a false alarm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, that is no way to spend a birthday.

You know what, though? It's the only thing that's going to work. I'll probably be exhausted on my birthday anyway, because the night before (Tuesday) we have to go to the Moody Blues concert, outdoors, on the river, in 95 degree heat. (The concert? NOT MY IDEA. It's...a thing, and I'm happy to do it, but the timing could not be worse, is all I'm saying.) I'll be all dehydrated and tired from being out late, so Wednesday I'm probably just going to want to go home after work, chug gatorade, and pass out.

Bah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In better Monday news, I'm just recalling some good parts of a dream I had last night involving Jason Bateman.

well, you could use the frame thing as a way to get out of it. I mean, it sounds like it's one of those things that you don't mind doing if there's nothing else going on, but now that it's making other things inconvenient, you should bail. Call it a birthday gift to yourself.

What msbelle said. Could you schedule something special during your trip? And if suggestions are unhelpful at this juncture, just scroll right on by.

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

I'm just recalling some good parts of a dream I had last night involving Jason Bateman.

I dreamt about Nicolas Cage. Trauma.
