Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I'm with java on this one. It's not the Christianity that is problematic for me, it's the bigotry and discrimination.

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

Sometimes when I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital, Kat would bring me a care package with clothes and trashy magazines and a toothbrush and at least once a baby, but she didn't leave the baby. I'm wearing the cherry pie pajama top she gave me right now because it's not constricting and comfortable when I have a bad headache and it made me think of that.

She's very nice.

Aww. She's a good'un, our Kat.

I totally would have left the baby, but I fear he'd make the headache worse not better. Is that hospital even still a hospital, ita?

Somehow they're trying to get money out of me without still being a hospital. Needless to say I'm paying them as slowly as I can manage because they don't exist, and maybe they'll realise that before I finish.

I guess he was in the portable stage, but not reliably quiet? Still cute though. I will give him that. Your kids are consistent charmers.

The cherry pie top does not go with the hot pink plaid pyjama bottoms, but hey. It is time to be self indulgent. And have more honey graham crackers.

And the True Lemon combined with the fizzy water makes it amazingly palatable. I'd have drunk the glass of water anyway, but I've startled myself how fast that went. I'm going to have another.

True Lemon and fizzy water is totally like, my go-to drink at the moment. Which reminds me! I need to buy more fizz!

I have two bottles going, so I can go get a refill while one is still fizzing merrily, but I am slacking with that. Like, this week, maybe.

The drink tastes so tasty, and now that I can't find my proper juice mixes anymore--it's this or tea. All I drink at home.

Our wings are not tired.

I gave my soda stream away last week. I never used it and its new owner loves it.

I don't know if I quite made clear how happy I was to finally meet The Twins! Kat (and Katie, and Lori), they're spectacularly cute and charming and you made them! Good job!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I actually maintain about four carbonator bottles, because usually I am having the replacements shipped in, and I'd rather pay freight less periodically. But I'd forgotten, I was in a town! With stores! So I could pick up a bottle and take it home, and then send the others in at my leisure.

Aw thanks, javachick!

I have a tension headache based around the thought that I have to go to work tomorrow. There's more to it than that (a parent, whose kid isn't even there this week, wants to sit in on the class and observe, not in a gotcha way but still), but suffice it to say, it is making my jaw hurt.
