I just swept the hell out of the driveway (hello, acorns and crumbling tar), but it would have been more fun to set something on fire.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

3 hours of grinding and prying and banging ( well, ok 45 minutes of waiting around )and 3x the novocaine most people need, numb up to my eyebrow on half my face, and I have two new crowns. Seem fine, it's just going to be the gums that are pissed off when I can feel them again. Whenever that is. The one next to the canine is less pointy than the original for various reasons and that weirds me out, the lack of symmetry. But the other side will be done next year, so...
I thought I was doing pretty good with not being flinchy or tense, but then I almost fell asleep in the waiting room (which thankfully is very cushy) while the crowns were molding. I'm thinking this was some kind of trauma reaction because I was so hopped up on caffeine, post-swim energy and sudafed, that's really about the only explanation.
It would be totally ridiculous for me to go swimming again today. But I might need to chill out in the water.

They're clearly plotting a takeover.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a problem with business documents, it seems. My boss pointed at my use of the word "thrust" and says "I don't see that a lot". I'm all "I do, so whatever." No, I didn't say anything, actually. But I was just bored with the word objective. Surely that happens, right?

We had that many last night, but it was the three year old that was a pill.
I judged him. And his mother.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, I just got a really terrible pedicure. Too bad, because it was the cheap place around the corner! Will continue to explore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
On Sunday, what I was hoping was going to be a nice quiet breakfast out was ruined by a screeching toddler, and I made a point of telling his mother that on my way out of the restaurant.
Then I went home and watched my lawn all afternoon, just in case I needed to yell at any kids.

If I keep repeating this to myself, it will keep me from gritting my teeth, right? Please reassure me of this. Especially since I am going to have to keep an eye on this someone to see if they're just clueless, or really are setting themselves up to copy me.
