I was fine until I got to work and had a meeting and realized that project is 4 weeks away and I think I'm supposed to create our presentation and I'm on vacation a lot between now and then and OH GOD IT'S FINE JUST BREAK IT INTO BABY STEPS.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, it looks like a form that you and your doctor sign gets mailed in: [link] So, not as hard as going to the DMV, but it could take forever.

Also, I'm weirdly offended that loss of both hands gets you the disabled plate. You can still walk with no hands! (Also my hat's off to anyone with no hands who can drive, but I realize we would use my grandmother's disabled placard when she was just a passenger....)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If you have to carry anything, I'd bet it's a lot more complicated/challenging over any kind of distance.

OK, that's true -- good one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it could take forever.
Not worth it then, but I am kinda fucked. Well! I don't need to do most errands, thanks to help. Work will be the big deal.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hi all! Sorry I've been a bit MIA, house has been busier than usual. Sister is healing well, but still don't like leaving her alone for long. Not sure how that's going to work with my needing to go into work this week, but I'll try to figure that one out today.
Meanwhile it was the kids' first day of school. Franny the fifth grader very much looking forward to it, Isaac pretty much dreading it. I hope it goes better than he anticipates. Really the main thing is I hope his friend Caleb is in his classroom.

Ugh ita, wish I could be more help to you right now, Polgara too.

Our wings are not tired.
Don't know about CA, but here it takes a bit of time to get the disabled tag.
The Ramen Burger.
My family would love that so much that I have to try it. Personally, I don't eat ramen or burgers so I'll pass.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

To some extent, it's all about the spoons, rather than a simple measure of if the person is able to walk from a parking spot at the far end of the parking lot into the place of business. I imagine that a person who has lost his or her hands has a great deal of other things that take a zillion times more energy than it would take for someone who does have all limbs present and working to capacity. Parking a little closer to the building allows that person to save his or her spoons for the things that really are draining, but that can't be wished away with a handicapped parking placard.
Daniel's doctor approved one for him on the grounds that a slip and fall on ice that causes even a tiny scratch could prove disastrous to him. Doc preferred that Daniel do his walking inside the store. And he does. We expected it to be only a temporary one, but doc checked off the five year box.
