This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm sure Hugh would understand, being the gracious gentleman he is.

He's welcome to show up if he feels left out; I'm sure my hosts wouldn't object.

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

How is before nine acceptable on a Sunday morning when you said nine? Sometimes the impact of being early is heightened. I was half-dressed, so I asked her to wait, but seriously. Wait in your car until nine, and then ring the bell.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I had a ménage à trois with early last year.

I am so impressed with so many of y'all here who lead FAR more interesting lives than I do.

LeN, give me fifteen minutes and some creative liberties, and I can have one of these set up for you.

Note I didn't ask for standards. Please don't give me any of those. Complicates *everything*.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is this woo nurse that you frequently have to call when she's about an hour later than agreed upon? Because that is just not acceptable. You wait in the car. Knock at 9, not a damn minute earlier.

Weird having guests up and gone and my whole house back to normal by 9. The only truly sad part is that my thermostat is back to normal ranges and no longer set at "Don't melt the Niecelet and Boy."

I have a couple day old weird blister (possibly from an unnoticed burn or just my skin in that precious that someone through something mean at it and that hurt) across my inner left wrist. It's a little puffy but I am assuming that it is just complaining because the protective skin came off and a lot of handwashing. So I covered it up loosely with gauze and Neosporin about twenty minutes ago and it stopped hurting. It never felt warm. So I can check it later today barring it trying to get my attention earlier and not risk losing my arm, right?

My ability to find horizontal surfaces to nap on on mornings of days I need to start cleaning remains epic.

Maybe it's oversleeping, but I just can't parse this?

Yeah, good lord. Early and late both not ok, lady! Learn.

I still have houseguests (sis and BIL)--last night they got in and were sleepy on east coast time, so we got some food from trader joe's and watched some tv. Today, dim sum! Yay.

I can do better than parse, I can actually type ALL of the words this time.

(possibly from an unnoticed small burn from randomly contacting some hot surfaces in the desert where everything is hot or just my skin being so sensitive and precious that someone thought something mean at it and then it blistered)

Basically a blister showed up on my wrist the other night. Where my wrist moves along the (cool) laptop edge. So I don't know what first initiated the blister. Typing probably made it worse. So protective covering.
