I used to have a leather-band watch where the leather went all the way around and the watch face sat on top of it
I had one of those but the stem still irritated me. I sometimes have trouble with the buttons on pants, too. It's very annoying.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The roller really is worth it, Teppy. I adore mine.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh dear. I've lost the laser mousie toy. The cats are getting restless.

Yeah, if Kat hasn't lit her backyard on fire, then I haven't been privy. My relatives are still all pretty much Jamaican middle class.
I will ask my friend Cathy to make homemade marshmallows for smores for my birthday if that means you might come to the party, ita. I know I live otherside of the planet far now though.
Oh man. I am fucking tired.
I'd like it explained to me how it's possible that I have walked 22,000 steps today? 8 miles?! What?
Also, new house = no more person hired to clean our house. Which is very fine. Our house is tiny and yet it still takes me two days to get all the floors mopped because I don't have that much energy in time periods where my children are asleep. So I usually get the kitchen and the bathroom done first and then the next day, I can get the hardwood in the rest of the house cleaned and oiled.
The issue, of course, is that it means the floors are never all clean because clean kitchen and bathroom floors last less than a day. Last week, I mopped the bathroom and less than an hour later some fool-headed child missed the toilet. ARGH.
The upside to lots of the housekeeping we've been doing is the cooking. For breakfast, I made poached eggs over salami and polenta. For dinner it was BBQ chicken with fried spinach-quinoa cakes.

My friend Pablo and his wife just had a baby yesterday who they named Louisiana Brett Clarke. Would you guess male or female?

(I'm asking because I didn't ask Pablo and I'm genuinely not sure. He sent a photo and they definitely had a baby, but when swaddled, still gender indeterminate).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'd guess female too.

well, Louisiana is a female version of Louis, so on that basis alone, I would say a girl baby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like how you stipulate that it was a (presumably human) baby. Well, Brett Butler was a chick, and Clarke has an e on the end? Totally fem.
But I like names that don't say much and leave it up to the person.
I promised myself I'd eat just the one chocolate bar before bed. But there's this dark chocolate and bacon one right here too...
When's your birthday, again, Kat?
And, unrelatedly, no answer on the swing set question? No one true way?
Ah, fuck it. I'ma have some more chocolate.
