Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Scrappy, I'm so sorry.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh, Scrappy, I'm sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Scrappy, that's hard. I'm so sorry. Schnuggle him hard when you get home, and spoil him rotten while you can.

sara, I'm glad the funeral was good. Hope the eye heals quick and well, and with no complications.

Frank, here's luck to expediting the move.

(not making the "screw loose" joke. not making the "screw loose" joke) (waves) Hi, Suzi!

Theo, sleep well and recover quickly! And then, profitfood!

Mmm, wine.

ita, can you print off flyers in bright pink and orange and tape them up in everybody's offices? Like elementary school? Otherwise the only recourse might be operant conditioning, and I don't think you're up to that, right now. Ease of pain to you, always.

Ooh! H just came back from the store and bought me a more-precious-than-rubies bag of chocolate espresso beans. Watch me do my dragon impersonation....
