"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh god, Emmett is going into another growth spurt.

He's cheerfully insanely aggressive and eating eating EATING!!

Here's what he ate today:

Breakfast:

Big bowl of cereal. ("I'm still hungry!")
Two scrambled eggs. ("I'm still hungry!")
Another bowl of cereal. ("I'm still hungry!")

Late lunch (after baseball practice):

Cheeseburger ("I'm still hungry!")
Large smoothie ("I'm still hungry!")
Quesadilla ("I'm still hungry!")
Two coconut strawberry pancakes with butter and syrup ("Okay I'm full.")

An hour later..."I'm hungry!"

Another smoothie.

That's gotta be what? 8,000 calories?

He's going to be six foot fucking two at this rate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh -- my little cousin (15) is already 6'2". I can't even imagine.

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

How old and how tall is he now, Hec?

My 12 yr old nephew reached 6' this summer. I took a picture of a sign in a parking garage (Height Restriction 7'7") to send to him.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I cannot afford teenagers with all their growing. It is ridiculous.

That sounds amazing, Kat, what all did you make?

I froze my chicken stock. It came out really well. I want to do the fish stock tomorrow, but the house probably shouldn't stink of fish when the bank inspector people come over.

I didn't finish the office today, but I got it down to a point where if the lady called to say she was on her way over, I could shove everything left into the remaining empty bins. I am somewhat dubious of the amount of work it will take to go through everything properly, but if I were able to do it, I could start the school year clean.

He turns 16 in September. He's already six feet tall. Maybe a little more.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

What I made:

Each batch has 4-6 servings.

3 batches of cajun chicken (will be grilled or baked)
1 batch of jumbalaya (to be baked)
2 batches of garlic and parsley chicken, with breadcrumbs (to be sauteed)
1 batch of honey lime chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of parmesan crusted chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of herb crusted pork chops (to be baked or grilled)
3 trays of black bean and beef tortilla casserole with bonus hatch chiles from the freezer (to be baked). Each tray is probably 2 meals.
1 batch of herb crusted flank steak, to be grilled tomorrow.

Wow! That's awesome. That's a lot of work.

I do not even know how you prep all that. Now I feel all lazy that I didn't manage to bake one batch of muffins.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am... not doing too great with the uncertainty of the Isaac's projected path and the conflicting advice on staying or going. I'm actually incredibly tense and also scared. People are now saying to start evacuating tomorrow... I'm nervous about being able to get out of here if we decide to... I would prefer to stay but I know Tom wants to evacuate... and, in conclusion, ugh.
