A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That girl will go far.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It's okay if I want to have gooey butter cake for dinner, right?

Our wings are not tired.

Gooey butter cake is a most excellent choice.

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

love your shirt

Thanks! I like it a lot for a random cheap Gap find, but it's not practical since it flashes more than is safe. Weekend, it's-okay-if-you-see-the-portacath wear only.

Thanks for the compliments on the photo. Still trying to get back into the camera groove, and already tired of looking at the lens.

Especially on a Monday.

White women, especially older white women, run a very distant second.

So I keep pitching it! No takers yet, though.

Because books.

I don't love the shape of my skull enough to even wear it as short as yours, ita. Otherwise I would try it!

brillig

Hubby would weep endlessly if I cut my hair that short. And it's getting thin enough without emphasizing it.

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 is a lovely photo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a great picture, ita.

And what an awful situation in your family. Ugh.

And I'm so sorry for your friends, Lisa!

I only ran the experiment once, but the traps baited with honey got more flies than the ones with vinegar.

Finally, this made me laugh.

The key thing with fruit flies really is figuring out where they live/what they are eating.

Oh my dog, you two. I left a piece of cheese on the counter which got all gross and hard so I decide to give it to the animals AS A TREAT.

I drop a piece for the cat, who looks away, doesn't see where it falls, and just continuously keeps yowling at me.

I hand the other piece to the dog who takes it reluctantly, drops it in front of her, and keeps staring back and forth between it and me until I explicitly tell her it's okay. I PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH DOG OF COURSE IT'S OKAY.

When did you forget how to dog, dog (and cat)?
