My parents' left me behind when they moved! I mean, they realized after a little while they forgot me, but still.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, my first DH came home from school and his mother had moved and never mentioned it to him. Now I had my issues with her, but I hope it was inadvertent.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
According to family lore, my dad stabbed me with a diaper pin while changing me when I was just a few months old. He said I didn't cry, I just looked up at him like "Daddy, how could you?" which made HIM cry.

I have a small scar on my arm.
My parents were at a party where people had been celebrating and drinking, it was raining and Mom handed me off to a friend while she and my dad ran to get the car.
The friend slipped and jerked me up and in the process sliced my arm with her metal disc earring. (It was the 70s). I don't know if the drinking was a factor but mom throws it in.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My grandmother left kids all kinds of places. She had a lot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My grandmother left kids all kinds of places. She had a lot.
This kind of makes her sound like the Easter Bunny.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy, did you get that new IBS med? Is it helping?
Humana approved it and the assistance program made the copay $0 (which is amazing, because the copay WITH my insurance would have been around $300), and I picked it up from the CVS before we left for vacation, but I decided to wait until we got home to start it, because if I have a weird reaction (we're talking about ME, after all), I'd rather be near my own doctor.
So I'll start it Sunday -- it's a 14-day course. Fingers crossed!

I am going to call a differnt dentist tomorrow. I was googling and I found one that stated right up front they specialize in people with dental anxiety.
It'll probably be a few months before I can see them.
Steph I hope the IBS meds work miracles for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ooh, and once when I was maybe 8, I was at my grandma's house and her sisters were hanging out smoking indoors (like you did in the day--even though i don't think grandma smoked) and one of them accidentally tried to ash her cig on my hand, thinking it was the ashtray.
