The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

not your mom's socks.

Sox, don't forget *number of times you're asked if you're Saved.

I have a plan for this. I think I shall respond, "Oh yes! Buffy saved me a lot." And then smile as enthusiastically as possible while running away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I hate my dentist's office. A half hour late already? Oy.

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

Dart gun tranqs *don't* exist? I feel--boondoggled. Maybe also hornswaggled, but I might have just made that up.

Jesse, don't go for my hour and a half from Tuesday. Entire morning shot by a 9:30 appointment, but on the up side, PROGRESS.

No news from the neuro. When is too soon to poke?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, Sox, good luck!!!

Mom's getting her PET scan today. Cross your collective digits.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of my friends who teaches at a DC public school says that, unless the shutdown ends before next week, he's not going to be getting paid, since the district is running out of money.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I'm sure they can just close the schools and everyone will be fine with that, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, I'm sure they can just close the schools and everyone will be fine with that, right?

The House GOP seems fine with letting WIC run out of money, so I can't see how closing public schools would be much worse.

Mom has to wait until the 21st for her scan results because her oncologist is on vacation! WTF?

They will point out that charter schools remain open.

Because books.

All fingers crossed, Cash.

The shutdown is making me more furious every day. Impotent rage is a horrible feeling.

Kat, you need a week's vacation on a beach somewhere. I can't imagine doing all that you do.
