Ouch Theo, hope it heals up quickly!
And ouch sarameg too. You are clearly a moving goddess. I'm pretty sure between the two of you, you and msbelle could rule the world with those skills.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I ought to go grocery shopping. I'm at my parents', and there's not much food. And today would be a good day to go to the good grocery store, since it's Sunday and there won't be much traffic on the highway. But it's cold and raining outside and I'm nice and cosy inside.

It can be hard to leave cosy.
I have achieved coffee, and Isaac is playing quietly by himself. Good morning so far. Breakfast request is egg burritos.
Later in the morning I am planning on meeting up with an old college friend and her son, who is 9, and letting the kids play and explore the Natural History Museum.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Theo! Broken toes are so painful and AFAICT just something you have to wait til they heal, nothing you can fix. IDK about driving, maybe a serious boot would be okay.
Flying squirrel? Yeah, you win.
Good luck keeping the blow-out fabulousness through the weather, meara! Fortunately, your innate meara fabulousness is weather-proof.

That sounds great, Burrell.
I am trying not to be overwhelmed by all the stuff I should be doing today. There is a lot and I'm probably going to have to prioritize and accept that some of it will have to wait. Oh well. But first, breakfast.

Ouch, Theo! They don't even set your big toe? Healing ~ma!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
They didn't even buddy-tape it! And they gave me a slipper-thingie with Velcro straps. Tomorrow the plan is to talk to a podiatrist and figure out if there's anything more I can/should do.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm looking for a new belt for my dad, but I'm not sure how. He's in need of a new tooled belt that accepts various belt buckles, and I don't know the term for that. Any thoughts?
ETA: Snap Belt seems to be the key word. If I was a gal who tucker her shirts in, I'd totally want one. Dad got an actual Western buckle for Christmas, instead of the absolutely geeky Hubble telescope one he's been wearing. Like, how is there a market for that besides my dad? "Into western wear and astronomy? Here's the buckle for you!".

For the record, flying squirrels are really cute. Google Alabama flying squirrel and that's textbook.
I think I'm better with unpacking other people's stuff than I am packing of any variety. I like creating order and I don't like being packed.
