I'm going to need more coffee if I'm going to explain how conditional redirects work even after I already provided a handy flowchart.

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

I need food, period, to explain AGAIN that it's not a plan if no one knows what kicks it off, what the first step is, and when or how you move to a second step.

That's not a plan, my colleague. That's barely even a related set of sentences. But I've been trying to tell him that all day.

it's going to take more than a week or two to get them settled here.

The problem is that she's still quite aware of her surroundings much of the time, while simultaneously being delusional about what they mean. She's always been expert at taking the worst possible interpretation of anything, and this is more of the same. Beautiful clean friendly senior residence==>smelly prison where she is confined and abandoned. To her, that's the reality, regardless of what she actually sees about her.

I spoke with them on the phone a little while ago, and told Dad he needs to "lose" the keys. She told me that "the marriage is over" if he doesn't move her back to the old apartment.

Which would be funny (she's incapable of doing anything for herself, can't even put on her bra), if it weren't so hard on my dad.

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

H'm. I think I just found a single item that will cover everyone on every single gift list I will ever have, except possibly my dad and Allyson: This right here.

Wow, Dana! That would be convenient for me, because I still think you live in Houston half the time anyway.

Hah! I think you should listen to Jesse, Dana. Unless you want to be in Abq, which I hear is lovely.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Can someone try to convince me that being bored at work doesn't mean I should go nuts and buy stuff like this [link] and this [link] and this [link] for the house?

I mean, I would still like the neighbors to like me.

Coworker just asked for Kauai recommendations. I gave them, and now I want to run away to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.

Don't be silly. Hurting oneself in Hawaii was my job.

No to the inflatables.

Not even the penguins?
