More like Cody Ross OWNS Doc. That was awesome.

Did you know that Cody Ross' childhood ambition was to be a rodeo clown?

Our wings are not tired.

No! That is too funny!

ETA: am watching Bochy's post game show and heard the Rodeo Clown comment. LOL.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

In my sports news I was getting ready to be cranky that the one time I'm in Ohio, the game is a national game so I would have gotten to see it anyway. But instead, I have to be cranky at the whole game.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Must sleep. But the insomnia fairy is being a bitch. Alarm is set to wake at 4:00 am. Yep, you read that right. CJ is on a 6:00 am flight.

The plan is to get dressed, drink one cup of tea before we leave, brew another to drink on the way, make sure he is completely packed, then hit the road (thankfully it should be empty), get me a gate pass, and then send him on his way.

Then I get to come home and hopefully take a power nap before I meet up with Nicole at 10:00am. More caffeine, the farmer's market, Sephora, and a pedicure to follow.

But before any of that, I need sleep.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that sucks. I don't have the insomnia fairy, I am just fidgety, like I always am before stuff. I'd get settled down, but usually it's the SO that chills me out and he's not here.

I'm getting the pig!

Hey Suz, just text me tmrw if you need to push back the meeting time. M is going to the game with his dad so I'm free most of the afternoon.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Just saw a great anti-Meg Whitman ad on Comedy Central's site. Sponsored by the CA Correctional Peace Officers, of all groups.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am toying with the idea of a cleaning service myself. Maybe not very often, but just to get the place cleaned down to the core and then I can work from there.

Exactly. I have someone scheduled next week. It's my house elf pressie from mom for my birthday. Really, I just need the intense (floors, yech) stuff done and I can do upkeep.

No insomnia fairy, but rather, Grace's alarm woke us all up. She has a cold and she's not feeling grand. She was awake in her crib with her alarm beeping.

No fever though so we'll just keep on keeping on.

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

My veins are shattering like glass. I don't know if it is because I'm so poorly hydrated (marked nausea all day) but it is depressing.
