I had kielbasa with peppers and grilled broccoli for lunch. I dropped some of it in my lap. I don't recommend that part.
Happy birthday, erika!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My sister and her GF are getting married on my sister's birthday, Sept. 30. Since there's no marriage equality in Wisconsin they're tying the knot in Dubuque.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tres weird. I decided to get in my Christmas hols request before new boss, just to see if it can be taken care of, and buy the ticket home, because better sooner than later, and it's clearly not sooner, AGAIN. Will create tickler to buy ticket home no later than August next year, since the cheapest I could find has a business class leg in it (which is nice, but not economical, really).
I decided to pick Economy Comfort seats for the other three legs because I'm grumpy and just pay the extra money, because fuck it.
Zero additional cost for bulkhead all the way through...both trips are 13 hours or shorter...BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL CHECKED BAGS ON THE WAY BACK and that is unduly incensing.
The human brain is just determined to be pissy about something. Well, mine is.

Because books.
Oh, Dad. I get an email from him, subject line: CALL ME ASAP PLEASE, and my heart starts pounding.
The problem? He forgot to thaw out chicken breasts like Mom asked him to, so he needs one of us to go get some and bring them to him before she gets home from work (and she has the car). SO HE WON'T GET IN TROUBLE.
I told him I thought it was a REAL emergency, and he said in that case he wouldn't have said "please".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
DAD.

Right?!
Of course, the reason he emailed is because he left his cell phone in the car, and he doesn't know either of our cell numbers off the top of his head (or he could have called from their house phone).

That's how you will tell the difference.

AH! I get it now!
It's so awful that you have to buy plane tickets in August to go at CHRISTMAS and get a decent price.
