Ungrateful for what? I'm always grateful that hammocks exist when I get into one.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

I am up to the October issue of the Smithsonian Magazine in my catching-up-on-media quest and therefore just read about the vampire panics of 19th century New England. So interesting! Especially the link to tuberculosis.
I feel like the motif of surviving family staking (or beheading or burning the heart of, whatever local custom demanded) suspected vampiric dearly departed is nicely reflected by Gunn and his sister, and so forth.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oops. That's supposed to be ungraceful, but it got autocorrected.
I figured pointed ignoring was about as good as it would get, which is why I took the baby gate down. I am pretty sure we are past the point of potential bloodshed and that's mostly what I care about.

OH! Well, if you end up in the hammock and not on the ground you are doing okay, graceful-wise.
And if you end up on the ground but not hurt, that's good for a laugh.

I think after 10 years we've got slightly more grudging acceptance than pointed ignoring. Maybe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which is good, because G&J are coming over after we go to breakfast tomorrow to see the house and let Charlie bark at them.
TELL THEM I SAID HELLO AND I WILL WAVE NORTHWARDS.
Nurse is coming at fucking NINE tomorrow. At least she called to tell me (not that I'm answering the phone). But that means I need to do the tidying today.
It's hard to tidy and de-porn in the middle of drawing. Stopping drawing would seem a decent solution, but I'm not sold on it yet.

Yes! And she may have partially inspired Lucy - shoot, I used to know her last name but it's gone. Mina Harker's friend.
