ltc didn't wake up this hour to feed. Dare I try to sleep?

Erika, I am a firm believer in not settling.

I know my mother feels like she put a ring on it too fast both times. But maybe her example has made me hold back too much.(And it's hard to know...I've missed a lot. Not that I wrote that in my profile, because even when I'm not thinking like a detective or a risk-assessment person being too open about that feels like writing "Hi! I'll make out with you, even when you steal my PIN, because I am defective and sad.(And, yes, I know that girl, too) Once you get out of your early teens, though, nobody is there to make sure that the crippled girl keeps up.(Summer camp, yes. Getting dry-humped, no)ETA: Although if crip-dating programs were as full of bull as the transition to work programs that lied to me and told me lack of paid experience was NBD and talking about my disability in a work context would be easy if I took the right light-hearted approach, maybe I'm better off anyway. But if I don't say anything...well, I'm just not like an average woman in her forties, assuming there is such a being.(Plus side: Not needing to get child support from an ass who got rich once he was out of my life.)

Kind of catchy. I can only imagine that when Ryan undertakes his desert spirit quest, he will be informed, "Cheekiness is your gift."

And his spirit animal will be the echidna, right?

Ryan stories continue to be the best.

~ma and hugs to all who need them. I've been reading along, but my brain cannot retain much information at the moment.

Mom is taking ltc for a walk, and I'm going to attempt to take a shower while they're gone.

Finished my first week of classes. Now I'm sleepy. Kind of want to sleep all weekend, but I can't, because I need to prep stuff for next week.

I'm in denial that one of the classes I'm teaching starts next Friday. I think I have another week before the other one starts, and some meetings are starting at the third school I teach at. Thankfully I'm only teaching Winter and Spring quarters at the fourth campus.

Watching my friend on the news talking about how his roommate/tenant was secretly Air BNBing his place every time Rob went out of town. He found out because th guy got his dates wrong and Rob came home to find like 6 people in his condo. Smoking a hookah and drinking his booze.

Oy brenda, I'd be pissed.

Wow, that is ballsy! And I'm shocked he didn't get caught before that! Dang.

He's only been there a few months, and Rob is away a lot - part of the deal is discounted rent for dog care (and I did meet the roommate a few times at the park). That's the part that would freak me out most. So crazy.

Meantime the roofers at my Wi place foot dragged on finishing so long that now there There are storms and they have to replace the ceilings in the kitchen and all three bedrooms.
