Sitting out on the cedar screen porch, listening to the desert birds of paradise trees shoot off their seeds. They kinda sting if they hit you.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

I ate all the things today. I'm hellbent on regaining the ten pounds I lost which is stupid as clothes are just starting to feel better.
Had a productive-ish day. We had a 504 plan meeting for Noah (not Grace! Someone else needs accomodations!), I had the most delicious pizza and salad (ovolini with ground pepper on arugula with tomatoes. NOM), and now the kids are at a birthday party.

I'm super charmed that Ginsburg is going to perform a gay-marriage ceremony in DC this weekend.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
That is an fantastic t-shirt.
I bumped into a John Hughes marathon on tv. Do I own all the movies? Yes. Am I still watching the chopped up tv versions? Well, duh.
They're so PERKY!

Our wings are not tired.
I heart my Notorious RBG shirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I spent ALL FUCKING AFTERNOON at the doctor. Perhaps because my boss kept me 30 minutes after I said I had to leave, and I was 30 minutes late (15 minutes of that was walking inside the hospital--dumb parking gamble) and then waited 90 minutes to be seen--do I ever want to know if that's my fault???
I have to admit I zoned out of the session itself when he pointed at the x-ray and said "That's where your ligaments ripped off." Every time I get hungry I hear him say it and I'm nauseous again.
I do recall:
- don't work through the pain
- don't step on any pebbles with it unsupported
- practice flexing NOT side to side
- try ditching the crutch at home in a couple days
And then we're back to barf time. I should have just stopped for lunch on the way there.
Irritatingly I still have to work today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I decided to use my 2.5 hours of bonus leisure time from today's early release from the office to go see World's End, which was awesome. The rest of the weekend will be spent catching up on all the things I wish I had one more day to get to on a regular weekend...

That doesn't seem right.
When I read "Ginsburg" I'm afraid I thought you were talking about Allen (who spelled his last name with an e and is dead, so really does not make sense in that sentence).
