Trust my rage

Is sciatica the one that runs down your back into your leg but it's more in the middle of my leg, not on the side? Because I have that. I swear, I hit the 3rd trimester on Sunday and its like my body just knows that. I went from happy energetic pregnant woman to achy, waddly, and exhausted.

Yeah. That was my big unfun with every pregnancy.

We can and do! Just not all of us, all the time.....

Yes!

Nice to see you, msbelle.

Kat, that sounds crappy on all fronts.

ETA: And I know sciatica is crappy on all fronts.

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

I have never been able to get into The Big Bang Theory. I didn't like any of the characters, enough that when someone called the show "geek blackface" it was the biggest BBT-related laugh I'd ever had.

Man, I'm glad I got out of downtown when I did.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I got five automated emergency calls from JPL this morning warning me that there was a bear chilling out behind my building and so I should park someplace else, go straight to my building and stay inside.

I totally read that as beer instead of bear. My brain was providing commentary like "Oh, beer behind the building. That's not so bad. But why do they want people to park elsewhere? Are they afraid people will stop and get drunk on the way into work? If that's the case, perhaps they shouldn't chill beer behind the building. Allyson works at a very odd place."

The lesson here is I shouldn't skim.

Pumpkin is at the vet for her fixin' until sometime thursday. Proof she is staying? I feel like there is a cat missing. AFTER FIVE DAYS.

Also, think I successfully just threw my first small party in my house. Had to kick everyone out a little after 9, since we're getting up at 5, but in that compressed time, 8 of my neighbors stopped by, had a few glasses of wine, kids played (=cuddled with) Mister Kitty, ate a fair amount of the too-much I got at TJs (shopping with people who have never been to TJs before? Dangerous!) and I HOPE had good conversation. Dad & conservative husband of one of my catsitters veered dangerously into politics, but they both behaved. Which I can tease both about now.

And now I that I have kicked my parents to bed, I will unwind for an hour and get up in 5.

Awww! Pumpkin has a home!

Essentially, this is the issue:

1. Grace is enrolled at her new school. It took until today (IEP was Thursday, papers for new school, we were told, would be ready and filed on Friday and she was exited from her previous school on Friday) to have her officially start.

2. She did not go to school as there was no transportation and no aide.

3. Her new nurse has been sick this week. We've had a temp nurse. One who wears perfume and I'm hypersensitive to smell.

4. Transportation tells us the bus will pick up Grace tomorrow at 6:30. However no aide? Maybe? We don't know.

5. Her old nurse P will be back to cover for the sick new nurse and in lieu of the other temp/shift nurse. But we don't know if she goes to school at all. And he is questionable on being able to be on time.

6. I don't want her to start on Halloween.
