Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Today it was my office cafeteria, but I've heard Tank Noodles in Uptown is good. Or Pho 777. Argyle probably is the place to go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Scrappy. I'm sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm kinda shell-shocked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Scrappy, that's awful. How long have you had him?

I'm assuming selective memory is a subconscious thing, because I'm not sure why I have to remind some people of the exact same thing over and over again, sometimes multiple times a day. It's an important thing--pretty fucking critical to work, but it keeps being forgotten.

Unless that fact goes in a very specific part of the brain, and that part is broken, so...oops, it fell out again.

Two co-workers started a conversation about my drawing while I was on the phone (including "I'm wondering if she can draw something for me...") and made me miss a huge bit of the conversation. Yet I didn't hear the key bit of what they were saying about me either.

I think I'm going to take an hour's lunch. But I have to work out where to spend it. Handicapped parking spots are so obvious.

Separately, I want this so bad, if I could figure out how sheets would actually work: [link]

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

That looks awesome, but probably require no sheets or super loose sheets, neither of which are very appealing.

Or stretchy sheets? In the video, they demo sheets working, but I didn't listen to the audio. Maybe jersey would have enough give.

Who are you cuddling, Jesse?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That sounds a little like this (not really serious) idea.

Scrappy, I'm so sorry.
