Aaron is my brother's name. I still like it anyway, though.

Oh crap, our open enrollment started this week. Must find time (and strength) to think about that.

Because books.
I went to the doctor this morning, and I was surprised to find that they've created a new pay scale for self-pay patients. Just $50, which is totally doable.
Still glad we'll be getting insurance in January, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The internet tells me that we're having another rapture on Friday. Or the actual one. So I thought I'd check in and see if anyone has rapture plans or what.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Damn. I thought the rapture was supposed to be tomorrow.
I've been getting my days mixed up all week long...

Man, and the elevator said we get nice weather back on Saturday. Dang.
No wait, I'll still be around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. I just got ragged on by my boss for escalating without his permission. But I wasn't escalating! I was just asking the opinion of someone higher up in the tree than me. And him.
I can see how it looks bad, but I was honestly just casting a wider net, as opposed to reaching upwards. I have so much grovelling to do now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We're just back from Matilda's parent-teacher conference.
She's doing well at everything, has made a good transition, is mature socially.
However, she did get one "Unsatisfactory." For taking a disrespectful tone with the teacher. Though we were informed that she's making progress and has moved from "We did that already!" in a grating, impatient voice to "Excuse me, Miss Cathy, I think we did that already."
Miss Cathy did manage to put a positive spin on that noting Matilda's "leadership qualities" (obviously the sort of thing that can really manifest in Kindergarten).
In short, my daughter - the bossy little cow.

not your mom's socks.
Hokay. I'ma call you on that, David.
I think it's fantastic that Matilda is paying good attention and obviously retaining the curriculum. Moreover, I think it's great that you and JZ have raised her to speak up and question, instead of going along with repetitious instruction.. I'd also like to compliment her on her newfound choice of words. And to ooh and ahh a little over her obviously spicy brains.
In short, one of us.
Happy birthday Calli and Burrell!
