Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I didn't sleep well last night, but I did sleep! And the antibiotics are having an immediate effect, after only one dose, so YAY!!

Our wings are not tired.

Yay sleep! It is good to hear you finally got some relief.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The building my office is in has at least one unisex bathroom, on the first floor. There might be some others, but that's the only one I've noticed.

Punishingly Intricate

I am in a coffee shop right now with a unisex bathroom! I know I've been to places with them in Chicago, le n. Like our friend's coffee shop.

Because books.

I'm speaking at career day at Ben's school today. What to wear?! I should show up in pajamas and tell them it's the writer's uniform.

I think it would be awesome, but Ben might not agree. Kids often don't get parent humor.

So true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think marking single-toilet public bathrooms with gender is ridiculous, and I don't understand why businesses do it. Non-gendered bathrooms were more common in restaurants/bars/etc. in NYC than here, I believe. And also there are no non-gender-identified bathrooms in my office, although I believe one of the "men's" is a single stall.

In non-news from last night:

I wish TJs pub cheese with Horseradish wasn't so good.

I wish my TJs still sold the one with horseradish! Luckily, my supermarket does, and even better, it's only on sale once in a while.

People name their breasts?

I haven't but my ex did.

I completely agree. Half the time I wind up using the "men's" bathroom in a restaurant anyway, if the women's is full. Peeing next to a urinal doesn't bother me.
