I hate to admit it, but I'm a little jealous of the Snowpocalypse.

Grace was less angry by the time we got to her today. But they'd only let one of us up into the recovery room at a time. So I sent Katie and continued to read the nook instead. Now I'm bedside and she is fast asleep. When bothered, she gives you a very angry look with her orca eye.
ALSO I think the fentanyl works wonders for angry in-pain kids.

It works for adults, too. Poor noodle.
Olivia is skating around the kitchen in her new, birthday derby skates. She's already asked me when we can go skating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
please tell me Jezebel isn't going to do the same.
Oh, they will. Sucks.
Good on Grace!
Happy birthday, Olivia!

Good to hear about Grace!
Happy bday, Olivia! What a great present! OH! That reminds me, Cashmere, did you send invitations to something called "Shop it to me?" I got something that says it's from you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, I get to go home. I think I will nap.
From radar, it looks like Chicago is about to get hit....

Yay for Grace! And happy birthday Olivia!
ION, our landlord has just noticed that we've been withholding a small portion of our rent for four months now. This despite the fact that we've enclosed a note every month with our check, saying "Here's a list of the repairs we need you to make [which we have repeatedly asked him to make for well over a year now]. We will happily pay you the money we owe you once those repairs are underway." SHOCKING that in the voicemail he left for M, he didn't mention the repairs. Grr.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the info, folks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. Now they are letting us go at 3:30. I'm not sure what to do about that, since I'm sure my shuttle will be on its regular schedule.

I'm glad to hear Grace's surgery went well.
I've gotten those Shop it to me invitations before, one from a former student intern (whom I was pretty sure wouldn't be sending one to me) and one from a person whose name I didn't recognize. I assumed they were spam.
Kate, I swear your landlord must be perpetually stoned.
