We Scrimmaged a team that came down from Michigan for derby practice. Such a big improvement for a craptastic weekend.
I dread the giant puppy teenaged years of speedy growth and subsequent propery and physical damage.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I managed to shut Perkins the cat in the linen closet this afternoon and not notice for an hour or so.
He was not amused.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope ita ! saw the shoutout to her on the Good Stuff yesterday...
Ha!
So I need to get time off so I can go home next week. Mother's drawn up her will, and my father is revising his in light of hers (what is that all about?). Nobody's chosen to tell me anything about the contents, but maybe they will tell me when I get there.
This either makes car shopping simpler or more complicated. I don't know which,

Oh lord, ita. This is not prognosis based changing, right?
We are going to look at a new school for Grace tomorrow AM. PLEASE let it work out.

Hope it works, Kat.
That's scary stuff, ita, but it's probably just wise preparation. I know I've said this here before, but it's a good practice for everyone to have their end of life documents in order, regardless of apparent health. So your mum is probably just taking a good precaution.

We're currently learning the signs for sports stuff from the DVDs my mom sent.
The new school is further away, but I hope (a) I like the teacher and (b) the program will work schedule wise. ALSO the new school has a nurse on site 5 days a week, which, given our aide, would be a nice change. Our aide has not yet suctioned Grace while she has been at school and does not know how to deal with "this stuff" (imagine her hand twirling around her neck, where a trache would be).

I don't know. The discussion started off testy because of broken-telephone flawed communication, so we didn't exactly start out o the right foot. Some people really need to not relay information, just in case.
My will plans are, in effect, to leave everything to my mother. Not the most practical solution, I guess.

Oh ita !. I wish I could do more to help you out.
But I do think this makes car shopping easier. You can put it off until you come back, right?
ION, no one tell me how tasty the Halloween JoJos are, okay? 'Cos I bought myself a box of Count Chocula, and I don't need Halloweenie chocolatey cookie goodness ... yeah, I'm not convincing myself here, either.

Fingers crossed that I can take time off without messing up too much stuff at work. Dammit.
Ah, fuck it.
