you got a bill for your 40th? Sox, did that happen?
It did. Parents are funny.
Luckily, I got to see a lot of friends for my birthday too - and that made my year. Plus I have a new pair of fake cowboy boots. So all is not lost.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Funny. Yes, that's . . . A word.
Totally a word.
I'm having weird (but actually honestly awesome!) bonding with my stepmom time now. It's one of the hardest things I've done, moving here with my dad not doing well. But it's been the hardest and best thing I've tried to do.
POD is here and dudes are showing up tomorrow to do some heavy lifting.
Moving sucks. Leaving the PNW sucks. The rest of it? Is really worth all of that.

Aww.
I'm glad to hear it.

That is kinda where I am at.
It sucks. But people can be wonderful and I appreciate that. And it is worth it. No matter how hard it gets.
Sometimes? It's really hard. I just am lucky to have an amazing support system.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Parents are funny.
Dear Lord.
Nora and Maria, all sorts of ~ma in your direction.
I think my mom is fuzzy on the concept of "information."
Steph, I think my father's related to your mother.
My parents are organized. They just don't understand the importance of giving me the information I need in order to do things, so all I get is fuzzy disclaimers that usually sends me to do twice the work needed to be done, if I'm very, very lucky. They have fantastic excuses, though: both come from pretty horrible houses/parents, so I trust them when they say they're doing their best. They are, and the fact that they're not abusing parents themselves is pretty amazing. It's just that I can't really comment or make suggestions on anything, because that will be judging and criticizing. Not, God forbid, just trying to make life easier for all of us.
Now, if I weren't information professional, I guess I would have been less picky about it. But since it's my job to make sure information will be easily accessible for all, I just don't understand why they're doing things extra hard.
Omnis, how's your father doing?
Aims, I hope you had a good birthday.
Thanks for the puppet/gyn talk. I truly need to schedule an appointment. That's one of the things that are too easy to forget/ignore when you're generally healthy and NGA.
