Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Great news, Kathy!

Aeryn is adorable! Yay babies!

So far the New Year Resolution people haven't hit the pool, and so the lanes aren't crowded. Wonder how long that will last...

Stabbed myself but good with the insulin needle tonight. Think I managed to stick it all the way in and wrench it a bit, because normally it just stings and this...this is more than a sting. Sigh.

They've been largely staying out of the free weights room, too. But when I went to go do intervals on one of the ellipticals? The treadmill/bike/elliptical room was PACKED.

Why can't people remember the steps of a process I walked them through 20 seconds earlier? Any of them? Is there no recording function at all going on in their minds? Or even just pattern recognition?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Lee, I sent you a text.

mac wants me to help him learn magic tricks and then do the tricks on me. Again, he's not 3, it should not be this hard to explain to him the flaw in this process. Also? He should totally be able to read the magic book and follow the diagrams for these simple tricks.

Onerous tasks today? Well, I eventually got up, showered and picked mac up from school. That for today was onerous. I had to do mea culpas at his therapy for losing my head with him at least twice this week. His therapist says I'm allowed, but she hasn't seen it.

Onerous task of the day, cleaning vomit up from both children. At different times with different levels of mess. (Grace's food today has beets....Noah threw up in the car).

Do. Not. Want.

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

What is this decade called?

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

The teens?

Uhg, beet barf. And car barf! They should issue you all raincoats.

msbelle, this might be the dumbest idea ever, born of watching too much Supernanny, but would recording one of the tsuris to review with therapists be an idea? I dunno.It would take presence of mind in the heat of the moment, and possibly could be an unhealthy thing to do. But if it'd help you to point out what you are unable to forgive yourself for?

I think the most interesting part of Noah vomiting is that I wonder if it's all a ploy to avoid the dentist. He was supposed to have major work done tomorrow.

The 2010s, pronounced "twenty-tens",[1] "two thousand (and) tens", or simply "the tens",[2][3][4][5] is the current decade which began on January 1, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2019.

Well that's boring.
