Our wings are not tired.

Oh Aims, that is so difficult and frustrating.

Weekend involves work tomorrow. Sunday a brunch at my house then MIL, friend, and my 3 men are bound for Avengers. Woo!

Have I mentioned here that my parents nicknamed me "Sarah Heartburn?"

Ha! Not a Sarah, but my mom called me that too. For my dramatics apparently.

We got that occasionally ... although I think we used it mostly for the cat; she was distinctly overweight but she'd sit and yearn so that she'd convince you she was thin. And starving.

Because books.

My parents called me Sarah Bernhardt when I was a kid. I wasn't particularly tantrumy or a sore loser, but I was Very Emotionally Intense about everything, apparently.

Fun article, Jilli!

Aims, in CA, we are required to support any suspicion of abuse of any kind, including emotional or just general neglect (and self harm! But not cutting which is not reportable?). When I have reported and it hasn't been a Thing that Needed Reporting, they have told me whether or not it is worth reporting.

In general, better to report than not.

By the way - did you get the package?

There is, I just never remember how to do it. Or which characters combine to make a bat.

Yes! The package arrived, and ... I thought I had sent geebling email about it. I bet I meant to, and didn't, argh. Thank you!

oh, good ... I wondered a bit. The salesman at the store said it made him think of Tim Burton.
