Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fucking pancreatic cancer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

What a loss.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got to take a call from her once. She needed to talk to one of my people who was in a high level DO NOT INTERRUPT meeting.

"Would you tell him Sally Ride called?"

"...I think I can get him out of the meeting."

I was beaming for days.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

That's so cool, Allyson!

61, man. That's just unfair.

Very cool, Allyson!

Back from the vet again, and the one we saw this time said the next shots should be three weeks from now, not two, which is PERFECT. I was going to have to go on one of my two free evenings after moving, after spending two nights with my father, before going out of town for a long weekend. Now I can take him the day after I get back, which I already took off work! Phew.

AND Homer isn't hiding in the closet like he has been. t /cat lady

You guys, I sort of feel like I've been borrowing trouble, worrying about all the shit going on these few weeks, because everything is turning out OK, and will continue to. Right?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm still pretty frazzled from yesterday. I really don't deal well with people screaming at me like that. I really want to just avoid all human interaction right now, but I know that that's a bad idea, but it's even tougher to go out and talk to people when I'm somewhere where most of the people are strangers and I'm supposed to be using a language that I don't know too well.

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

I just had a one-sided "conversation" with the chick behind the counter in the cafe about strip clubs, so no more pain meds for be before I go home. But I can't quite wrap my head around precisely what I need to do before I go...it's frustrating me.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Wish I could give you a cup of soothing tea and a soft blanket and a quiet place to sit, Hil.

Best wishes for a minimum of jangled nerves and a maximum of understanding and compassion for the friends and strangers around you. (Small math joke -- roll your eyes at me if needed.)
