You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Aw shit, Kat. I'm sorry things didn't go the way you hoped.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yesterday's grown-up pup was a pug that lives with a liver flatcoat.

Man, at first I thought "liver flatcoat" was some sad chronic disease the pug was living with.

So basically if you had been a deadbeat sooner, this would've been EASIER? That seems so wrong.

As long as you're still treading water, they won't throw you a life raft. You've got to be sinking and half-dead already before you qualify for help.

some twinkie named Krystal Ball

She ran for... some gov'mint office around here last year. We couldn't stop making fun of the billboards. "Krystal Ball sees the future of politics!"

I'm sorry it didn't happen, Kat.

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

I'm rooting for your girl, Kat. Soon enough it'll be just like Noah--you'll think back to the quiet times when she didn't talk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sorry about that Kat. I had my fingers crossed.

erika,

I'm done with him. His twitter feed was "nauseating" last night.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm sorry, Kat. She's seems so eager to learn that it's a shame this is keeping her back. House ~ma, at least.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How frustrating, Kat. I'm sorry.

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe looking at what Arizona has to offer makes even people's screw-ups look better. Probably this. Not that I haven't had my fill of "Both sides..." this and that when it's not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, damn, Kat.

So basically if you had been a deadbeat sooner, this would've been EASIER? That seems so wrong.

Yep. And yep.

Fred Clark over at Slacktivist has amassed an appalling number of stories about exactly this stupid shit. Dozens in the last year, possibly more than a hundred. If you go to Slacktivist and do a search for either posts titled "Banks Behaving Badly" or posts tagged "Class Warfare," you will... well, just don't read them all in one sitting or I swear to God you'll want to run out and blow something up.

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

We couldn't stop making fun of the billboards. "Krystal Ball sees the future of politics!"

I sort of adore this slogan. hilarious, and, perhaps self-aware enough to poke fun at one's name.

I'm pretty disappointed. And irritated. Because we will have another year of surgeries even though we aren't going anywhere. I mean, why take her in every two months if nothing comes of it? I sort of want to call the doctor and vent all of this but don't have the energy to do it.

I have to be honest. I cared more about decannulation than house.
