I have run out of motivation. It's naptime now, right?

Well, if you insist.

What about the scial owrker who thought she could get you treatments at home? Even if it s thousand to one shot, sounds like it is worth a few phone calls.

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

She's visiting on Friday. But that's entirely orthogonal. At least, I hope they are. I don't want any judgement if I do or do not go ahead with the neurostimulator.

I have not gotten the year wrong today, but I have gotten the day of the month wrong every time until just now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, Matt, I am so sorry. What an awful thing to go through even if it wasn't unexpected. My sympathies to them while they get through a terrible time.

Yeah, okay, that sounds like a lot for possibly not that much return.

That really is extreme for something that likely won't even touch the headache pain. I think I thought that it was hoped it would significantly dial those down. I wish we understood pain better. And how to make it go away.

This is because the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. As a result, Winters in the Northern hemisphere are a little shorter and warmer than they'd otherwise be.

Which? Yay. I am pretty sure that longer and colder winters would make me unhappy.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Huh, so a post about tattoos and working with a tattooist on XOJane just made me kind of irrationally cranky. "Although your friend is probably super duper talented and should definitely become a tattoo artist , most tattooers will not want to replicate his/her drawing on your skin. Usually because the drawing sucks. And if you want it that bad, get your stupid friend to do it."

Hmmph. My tattoo artist has always been fine with exactly replicating Pete's designs. I always schedule a consultation first, so Joe can look at the design and let us know if any elements need to be resized, but he's never refused to ink something because it wasn't His Vision. However it looks like a lot of the commentators are just as annoyed by that bit of the article as me, so I feel all vindicated.

(Aaaaand now I want to get my next tattoo. I need to find a good image of the symbol for the Order of the Dragon, because I've decided it's time to really own my Dracula geekery.)

Oh Matt, I'm really sorry. All the ~ma in the world for you and your family.

Oh Matt, how awful. I'm so sorry.

Well that is a good and professional tattoo artist replicating a good and professional artist's work. Not something your BFF drew in homeroom and you are looking for someone who won't ask for real ID to tattoo it on your underage age. Embrace the cranky but I think the article is miles away from your situation (and, really, most of the ones I've ever heard apart from people who got ill-advised tattoos too young.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
