I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Send 27 shoes next Tuesday. Zappos can get them there overnight!

And if some don't work, isn't there still free shipping back?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You couldn't send anything homemade in Sara's old school in Fulton, but that's a NY State thing, I think, and has to do with ... I don't actually know.

Lack of ingredients/information on the package, I believe.

Because books.

Jesse got it! That's it. Man, my memory is Swiss cheese lately.

27 shoes! You people crack me up. As IF, Sara would let me give away shoes she could play dress-up in.

Understandable because the food is going to other kids. But I also don't put ingredients/information on my kids' bagged lunches. Perhaps schools, like the one in Chicago, will begin banning those too?

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

Thanks for the invite and the ride offer, Kat. But I'm not company worthy, I don't think. I'm going to hide and try and just come down off the peculiar fake high stress has driven me to.

I called home to speak to my mother tonight and it was too late (I didn't end up leaving work until 6--see what I'm driving myself to?) because my mother was already asleep. My sister answered the phone and she was just exhausted. She's run herself ragged. I think my mother is doing better than my sister is, to be honest.

I'm having asparagus for dinner. Muffin for breakfast, doughnut for (late) lunch, and grilled (broiled, whatever, fuck you) asparagus for dinner. I'm completely working myself up again. It's pretty stupid.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita !, I wish there was something we could do to help. Much ~ma to your sister as well as your mother.

Yes, we can be simultaneously invisible, Perkins.

Does anyone here do Black Friday shopping? Is it a real thing? Are the bargains worth lining up overnight for? Not that I ever would, because I tend to work the Friday anyway, and the idea of sleeping on the sidewalk...aieee. I just wonder if it's more hype than anything else.

eta: Thanks, Maria. I'm currently a victim of myself, I think. I gotta get myself down off this.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It is against my religion to leave my house any earlier than about noon on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

However, the internet is at my fingertips.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I went last year, because I was awake early and needed stuff at Target.

This year I'm not allowed to buy anything new, so I probably won't.
