May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I watched that Nova, Sophia, and some of their conclusions are way more interesting than anything Auel came up with, IMO.

I haven't taken a bath since the raining-in-the-livingroom incident. Though that shouldn't happen anymore, though I still don't have a real overflow drain. My tub is longer than most, has a lovely sloped back...and a faucet right where your head would go. Alas: [link]

Builders in the 30s had some weird ideas. Or at least this developer did.

So today I went to market, Target, TJs, Petsmart, swam, had Taylor over for a visit and vacuumed and mopped the whole house (finished that half an hour ago.) Ooph.

...and you guys? One of the schools she applied to? Guilford. My alma mater. She looked into it just because I went there and she really liked it. Honestly, I think she'd do really well there. And she'd probably get really good merit and need-based financial aid there (it's really spendy, but they really really support their low-income students.) She's gotten in to all her safety schools, and even has a plan if the is a major money fail ( BCC until she can transfer in) but I think she'll get decent financial aid.

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

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Aha! Thank you, Hil and ita !

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

Interesting that some of you have a direction you face in the shower. I turn around a lot. I also have to be prepared to jump out of the stream when the water suddenly goes scalding or freezing. That's my least favorite thing about this apartment.

Have you guys seen the time-lapse photos of sleeping couples? [link]

Work is making me weary, but I think I'm doing okay covering for my boss so far and the crew is being understanding and cooperative. If I can make it through the next two weeks without a major fail I think I'll be okay.

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

I am now back home from my interminable day.

When I got back from a book reading from one of my writing group friends (she had a book published: [link] K was immediately ready to go out. So we went to the yard house for dinner.

Grace ordered food! Or sort of food... we've discovered that she's really fond of pudding. So she had butterscotch pudding at the restaurant. It was nice to order overpriced food for my little girl to actually eat.

You know, whenever I think of pudding (or have some pudding) I think of Dean Winchester, but now I will also think of Grace. Eating food in a restaurant, woo!
