They mock my pain!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Drench works fine for me, FYI...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Fiona's version is in German!
Okay, yes, I figured it out in two clicks. And I think I've now learned the German for "You failed, you loser."

An important life skill, I feel.

OH MY GOD three loud screaming flailing children are now sitting next to me. Please, let them be far away from me on the plane. Pleeease.

They're probably coughing germs all over your air space, Dana.
Matilda's school had a furlough day, so I took her on her first picnic!
We parked under a...flowering dogwood tree (I think?) in GG Park and ate strawberries and split a sandwich, and nibbled on goldfish. Then we read a new Wonder Woman comic and a picture book about a pony. Then we kicked the soccer ball around. Then we plopped on the blanket and practiced writing names in her journal, and then we drew lots of pictures.
Sighted on this picnic: a hummingbird!, a robin, sassy grey squirrels, fat bumblebees, monarch butterflies.
After several hours of hanging out and drawing pictures we stopped at Park Chow on the way home to get something to drink. She had a root beer float and I had their fresh squeezed orange ginger cooler.
A day well spent.

Oh! and we went to the new consignment store and she selected a fancy knit ponch with hearts and flowers on it. She is now Poncho Girl. And we scored a nice Hannah Anderson top and skirt outfit.
Sadly, however, Matilda had her first experience of thrifting and finding The Perfect Thing That Doesn't Quite Fit. In this case a pair of pink cowgirl boots in the size she just recently outgrew.

I would like to go on a picnic! Stupid winter.

Oh, poor girl. But the rest of the day sounds wonderful.

You were with me the whole time. In Arizona.
