I hate making other people take care of me because I did something stupid. If Emmett learns to hate that - he will do just fine .

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oof, Emmett. And ugh, that was quite a repulsive combo and what the hell were they doing drinking absinthe as shots?

Apparently I've been deficient in showing him NIN videos?
Much love to you and your family, Consuela.
Also, I've been chatting with Emmett's godmother, Karen, about it all. I mentioned that I was worried about how Laura's parents would view him (perhaps forbidding them from hanging out), and she wrote a short, sweet "character witness" type email to Laura's mom. Karen's always got his back.
I should say, I am in awe of the way things are being handled in Chez Smay. Emmett is a lucky pup.

Yes- once my mother THOUGHT I had been drinking, but really I had the hiccups from eating dry bread too fast. Which really sounds like a lame excuse, actually, if here had been any other reason (smell, tipsyness) to think I had been drinking!
Matilda and I just got back from church (where she hugged me and cried because she was worried about Emmett and his seasickness) and relieved Hec of Emmett-watching duty so he could drive back across the Bay to retrieve the tux. I can hear Emmett shuffling around between his room and the bathroom, but I think he's too abashed to come out and face his Pumpernickel. Poor stressed-out lambs, all of them.
Suela, I'm so very sorry. Wishing you, along with your sibs and father, all possible peace. You've been put through so many relentless wringers in the last year.
I'm so sorry, Consuela.
Not driving makes getting around a pain in the ass sometimes. A family friend died yesterday, and I'd like to go to her funeral, but it's in the middle of the workday, and will take me 45 minutes to get there via bus. Maybe I'll just take a cab there, and see if I can get a ride back.
