Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My apartment could be nigh perfect and my mother would still run her finger over my fan to pick the dust off and show me her dirty finger

Ha! If my mom or dad ever did that to me (and they never would) I would've just laughed at them said, "I guess you fucked up."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

This weekend our house needs a thorough clean. I can usually mop one room between my AM swim and getting to work. But it means the floors are never all clean at the same time. It would also help if the fucking dog would stop shedding.

My problem, currently, is I have different levels of clean. There are Grace-related health care items that I routine clean daily. Even when she skips a bath, her medical stuff gets cleaned.

Then there are things I can't stand dirty anymore. Usually floors, windows and mirrors.

But the floor in my bedroom? Hasn't been mopped in an age and the dust has blow in on all the windowsills.

It's too overwhelming to contemplate.

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

The pie turned out pretty well. My sister made me sob until I was sick . And then there was pie, and another headache.

I just don't understand how she can have any awe left for me, any of the "but that's my BIG sister" where I see myself as "the one they have to help when she breaks". Aside from "the one who can't" that's the only hat I wear.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Because you are still functioning at all in the face of everything. I'm fucking awed at you, and I'm not related.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dude. ita. You made a low-glycemic pie on a weeknight. You are amazing!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One of the reasons I have so much trouble talking about my childhood in therapy is that I start asking myself, "If it really was that bad, then how did I actually get through it all?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, two things. People get through all kinds of shit. (As we see just on this board!) And it's because they are strong people and figured out how to get through it, with whatever coping mechanisms were necessary.
