You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's just a really bad song.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zenkitty, I meant to ask you -- about your ear pressure, did your doctor recommend using Afrin or any other nasal spray? If there's no reason you *can't* use it, try using it for the 3 days prior to flying, or 2 days prior and the day of flying (because you really aren't supposed to use it for more than 3 days), and that might help a LOT.

The doctor did in fact recommend Afrin, and I've used it. It does help, once I stop using it, the problem comes back. The doctor said my ear looked fine, and the sulfa drugs didn't clear it up, and I can't take antibiotics, so I don't see much point to going to see an ENT. Though I probably will if I can get an appointment. The sad truth is, I'm halfway hoping it's bad enough that I *can't* fly - because I really don't want to.

I took CJ out for his first driving lesson. He turns 15 over the summer and has been jonesing to try it out. We hit a big empty parking lot. He spazzed any time he got close to 16 miles per hour. Spazzed in a responsible way, but still - it was cute. He did a great job.

No karate for me today even though I have more nervous energy than I know what to do with. My house will be CLEAN by the end of the weekend.

mr. flea left about 3 hours ago to sign Casper up for summer camp at a location maybe 15 minutes away. He's not back yet. Who'll place money on my 3 possibilities - incredibly long line (THREE HOURS?), fatal car accident, or wandered off somewhere? (He neglected to take the cell phone.)

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

I seem to remember discussion here before--spaz is divorced from cerebral palsy in the US? It was horrifically offensive where I went to high school.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think "spaz" disconnected in enough people's minds from an actual physical condition that it probably isn't meant offensively in most situations, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be avoided.

In a way, it's equally as offensive as "'sode" which also isn't all that funny when you stop to think about it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I only found out the "spaz" thing recently.

This Gray's Anatomy is Bananas! Like, insane!

I need to get that out of my vocabulary, at least in the way I used it above. I didn't mean it offensively.

It was a THREE HOUR LINE. And we are in theory doing this again for a different camp next weekend. What the fuck.
