Yay sleep! It is good to hear you finally got some relief.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

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

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know! It's not like men's bathrooms don't ever have the bowl. I mean, men defecate, too! We have unisex bathrooms, but it is only because we're a very small town with lots of very small businesses who only have one bathroom. So much so I've never thought of it as unisex bathrooms, which I reserve in my brain for the shocking Ally McBeal bathrooms where both genders might be in it AT ONCE OMG.
Good for your DH's school, Laura. That type of exposure really can make a difference in kids' opportunities.
So the SO's bash came off beautifully in a slow burn. He didn't notice the balloon, 'cause he's a doof like that, and someone had to point them out to him. Then he was happy about the free chai lattes all day. Then he was happy about the cake.
And then for a while, he was kinda all, "Hey, I wonder why everyone coming into the coffeeshop today I know?" So he finally texted me about 2:30 when he worked it out. By then I was zonked out and accidentally napping. He brought the balloons but not the cake! home yesterday. The guests didn't eat it, goofballs!
Anyway. Successful surprise. I was laughing about it afterwards to myself, because it would have been a horrible day if it had been done for me. All that relentless chitchat all day long! But the SO was happy.
