Mom had 8 grandchildren and 7 (not 5) great grandchildren. I wish I could say I didn't know how we could have managed to forget the 2 youngest, but I do. We weren't in our right minds! Seriously, this is just because everything is all about her and I am not in a forgiving mood. My brother unfortunately has a different perspective and fears he won't see her or her kids again. Bitch. And I don't mean that in a good way.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Thrive to spite them
I'm so sorry Laura. That they couldn't see the amount of grief and stress caused an over sight.
Went to the dentist .. I got a little too zealous in my oral hygiene and irritated my gums. So I've been told to be gentler and do salt water rinses.
Also this was a hygienist I hadn't seen before...I think. And she was awesome as soon as I fibushed saying "I have Asperger's and sensory issues" she got it.
Passed my drug test and go full out paperwork tomorrow

I'm sorry, Laura.

re: mansplaining. Just now in the break room, a bunch of guy were trying to mansplain how the water fountain works to each other. Though it's probably just know-it-all-ism at that point, and gender is irrelevant.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh, I'm sorry Laura. That kind of drama is the last thing you need right now!
Steph, how scary - I'm glad it was brief, but it must have felt much longer.
esse, that clip, um. Yeah.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Laura, I'm so sorry! You shouldn't have to deal with that.
Beth, I'm sorry about the work stress.
Steph, that is so scary. I'm sorry. Yay, for raise!
I'm wearing pleather leggings today. I feel sort of badass.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Laura, I'm so sorry. Funerals often bring out the best in people... or the worst. I'm sorry it was the latter for you.

move out and draw fire
My brother has been periodically texting me pictures of dogs over the past couple of days
There is actual science that shows that petting a dog or cat (or puppy or kitten) reduces stress...but so does looking at a photo of one.
I use cute animal photos in many of my presentations.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
There is actual science that shows that petting a dog or cat (or puppy or kitten) reduces stress...but so does looking at a photo of one.
This is why my Twitter feed is about 50% pictures of cute animals.
(This is also why my Tumblr posts are, like, 50% picture of CEvans, sadly.)
