I know some of us have shared concerns here before about having young kindergartners (and so on). I haven't read this entire article but it seems to offer some reassurance. [link]
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

One neighbor just volunteered her husband (who I am also friends with) to fix my ceiling. However, I would only do that in an emergency, as I'm sure she'd get the evil eye for doing so. Another neighbor's boytoy is going to be in town for a month and is looking for handyman work, so she's seeing if he can do it. Top that off with: the new neighbor's boyfriend works in construction.
I have an embarrassment of neighbors!

Suzi, meara, hope you both feel better!
I'm happy to send TJ's care packages to any Buffistas that need them, mid-October-ish.

Both Emmett and Matilda are September babies, and I'm very glad I moved them up instead of held them back. In fact, I'm quite disgruntled about the changing law in California which will make the cut-off date Sept 1. It goes into effect too late to hold Matilda back, but I think it's a shitty idea.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It used to be a thing, especially in Bitches, that chocolate accompanied a tape of a missed show, or a mix cd to cheer someone up, or a tiara or blanket in the exchanges. I kind of miss that tradtion.
My birthday's in February, and I was moved ahead a year, thus was the youngest in my class, and emotionally quite behind my classmates. It was not a helpful move for me.

Hot tea with honey and a shot of whiskey maybe?
Been there done that. The whiskey is nice, but hasn't really helped with the feeling better thing.
CJ isn't home yet from his weekend in the wilds of Wyoming. Should be here in about an hour. I think I'll need to send him straight to bed so he doesn't get sick.

Where in WY did he go? Southern half, I guess?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm also happy to send a holiday TJs package to someone, once their seasonal stuff like peppermint JoJos come out.
Eta: And organize senders and receivers, if people want to email me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I remember being very annoyed when my family moved the year I was four. Where we used to live, the cutoff date had me starting kindergarten the year I turned five, and I went through the pre-K year knowing that the next year would be kindergarten. Then we moved, and in the new town, the cutoff date was earlier, and I'd start kindergarten the year I turned six, which meant that I had to go through another year of pre-K.

I just have to remember to GO to TJs one of these days.
