I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Besides, I suspect that aluminum foil with greasy food bits on it might be flammable, and I don't want to be the cause of a spectacular fire.

It is. I now just buy new drip pans periodically.

I bet your drip pans aren't as bad as the period when Hubby was melting lead and annealing metal in the kitchen. Oh, and burning paint off. It may have been a crappy little apartment, but there was no call to turn a blameless stove into a home forge.

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

Wow. I was just in the middle of an impromptu meeting, and my earring effectively leapt out of my ear, and the dragonfly pendant leapt off the hook. A two-fer of jewellry destruction. Huh.

I returned my rental before I went back to Jamaica, and rented one under my own steam when I got back, assuming that it would be my penny now, because I was the delay in getting the reimbursement cheque back in my hands.

Turns out, no. So, thankfully, the car I chose was under the $30/day limit, and it's Geico's penny again, not mine. However, that means I'm not all that close to getting the cheque, since I have some shit to mail off and they have to process and yadda and yadda. WANT CAR NAO. Fuck.

Also, when I tried to enter "sleep" in my agenda using my tablet, Swype chose the word "fellatio" instead. What have I been teaching that thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse - thanks for the link! I've gotten about 5 emails about that today, but it was your link that prompted me to set the Tivo.

Yay! You could also watch it (tomorrow?) right at the link....

I was surprised to discover the most painful part was near the bend of my arm, not my wrist. But even that wasn't too bad.

Nice! I like the font, especially the detail on the "O"s.

Ooh, that's gorgeous.

When you were a kid, did you ever do the thing where you close your eyes and your friend walks their fingers up your forearm? You always think they are at the inside of your elbow before they actually get there -- it's weirdly sensitive.

Maybe your mom changed it while you were home as part of her quest to get you coupled up?

Gorgeous tattoo Jilli.

Uh, no! Although, this is the same mother who brought up asexuality in a discussion of gender identity, to the general "huh?" of my sister, so I shouldn't mark her down on general awareness.

Just, that, ah, I don't put those things in my mouth as far as she's concerned.

That's really nice, Jilli.

And no, Jesse, I never did that. That's some creepy doctor-playing stuff right there.
