Ack, I wish there was something I could do ita !
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The latest What If post had me cracking up:
IN chemistry, a mole is just a big number: 6.022 x 10^23. ANd of course a mole is also a small mammal.
A mole of moles would be larger than the moon.
The mole planet is now a giant sphere of meat. It has a lot of latent energy (there are enough calories in the mole planet to support the Earth’s current population for 30 billion years). Normally, when organic matter decomposes, it releases much of that energy as heat. But throughout the majority of the planet’s interior, the pressure is over a hundred megapascals, which is enough to kill all bacteria and sterilize the mole remains—leaving no microorganisms to break down the mole tissues.
...
The outer surface of the planet radiates heat into space and freezes. Because the moles form a literal fur coat, when frozen it insulates the interior of the planet and slows the loss of heat to space. However, the flow of heat in the liquid interior is dominated by convection. Plumes of hot meat and bubbles of trapped gases like methane—along with the air from the lungs of the deceased moles—periodically rise through the mole crust and erupt volcanically from the surface, a geyser of death blasting mole bodies free of the planet.
This had me cracking up. There may be something wrong with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so frustrated right now, Frank, I can't even put words to it. Nothing stays still enough for me to put my hands on it--anything I think I have a grasp on turns out not to be what I had to catch in the first place.

Because books.
All the Land's End dresses I like are small only. Feh.

Damn, I found some stuff that might fit me on the LE sale. Three dresses and a top: hopefully they'll work. I do like the extra 30% off if you use the code from the front of the website: it rewards paying attention.

Ugh ita, sorry the day has started out so rough.
I am going to need the whole of this week just to adjust back to CA time. Woke up at 9 am two days in a row. The last time I did that was after major abdominal surgery.
