I would say if you need that app, you either need better friends, or are kind of a shitty friend yourself. Who DOES that?!
Indeed.
YAY AWB! Congratulations to Jon and FAQWife! awesome!

Yay, FAQ!Baby!!!
Jilli, I love the new tattoo. I need that reminder myself. I have gotten in my own way more times than I can count.
I keep meaning to buy myself a ring that says "Breathe." Because I flip out really easily and drive myself into a panic more often than I can even say. Of all the worries and fretting that I share here with you all, I'd say that what I've shared with you is *maybe* 10% of the worry-panic-distress I throw myself into in the course of one day. Seriously.
But I can often stop my panic if I just take a deep goddamn breath. Sometimes 3 or 4. But it will usually get my racing thoughts to slow down and then I can get myself back on track.
I just don't always remember to breathe, you know? And so then I flip out. Hence, the ring (I'll see it all the time; I can't actually *see* earrings or a pendant while it's on me, and I can't wear a bracelet while I work because it just whacks against the desk while I type or write).

Jilli, that is a gorgeous tat. I need it tatooed on the inside of my eyelids.
Yay FAQBaby!!!

My neighbor is loaning me proper sitting chairs for my parents' visit. We're coordinating a transfer tomorrow.
How fucking luck am I? I moved into a place with my tribe.

Now I have to figure out where to feed them tomorrow night between here and the airport.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Talking to an actual oncologist about survival rates and seeing real statistics helped somewhat.
Colon cancer is the second most fatal cancer in the US. So that's something I didn't use to know, and didn't care to. Man, I just got back on the rails.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My first tat, a palm tree on my ankle, is my version of "don't sweat the small stuff, chill out, breathe". My 40th birthday tat (is that a thing now?) is another reminder that life can go in any direction I want, I just need to trust myself to make the right choices.
I am so frustrated with iTunes right now. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't recognize my internet connection. Yes, I've asked about this in technology and so far haven't found a fix. Just so frustrating.

11:30. Rain coming. Porch roof full of leaves. Climbed out and decanted them. Hopefully did not wake the neighbor (or freak her out) cursing as Loki came out and tried to make a run for it.

My brother got a tattoo on his chest a few weeks ago -- it's the alchemical symbol, which they use as a logo for the restaurant (if you look on their website, it's in the upper left of this page, next to the words "The Alchemist": [link]
I knew the restaurant meant a lot to him, especially after the flood, but when he told me about the tattoo, I cried.

YA BABY! Congrats, Jon.
I have been laughing like a loon. Tomorrow promises to be a god awful drag, but today... NSB.
