Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My cupcakes look better in the light of day, so I'm not actually ashamed to bring them to work. That is something!

Our wings are not tired.

Not only do I not remember verse, I don't even remember for sure if I have read something. The upside is when I re-read it is all brand new.

Too much work to do. Maybe I should look into this buying lottery ticket thing I have heard about.

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

I feel like I have been punched in the face. Sinuses, I presume. Also, broke my towel rack and my bathroom falling apart feels like my life is falling apart, highlighting that I do not have much of a life and it is held together with chewing gum.

On the upside, I have a Panera souffle and it is delish, and coffee cake for later.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Rose was up, crying, at 2am last night. When I went into her room, she said, "Mama, I don't like hedgehogs and squirrels."

Poor kiddo must have had a bad dream, but I confess it took some self-restraint not to laugh at that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I went into her room, she said, "Mama, I don't like hedgehogs and squirrels."

I'm with her in the anti-squirrel corner.

While I love poetry, I'm not at all good at memorizing it unless it's set to music. I can heavily quote most musicals once I get into them.

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

Rose was up, crying, at 2am last night. When I went into her room, she said, "Mama, I don't like hedgehogs and squirrels."

This sounds very upsetting to both of you!

Ha, yeah, it wasn't our best night. I don't usually mind getting up to soothe her; it doesn't happen all that often, and there's something very sweet about rocking her and comforting her in the middle of the night. But lately it takes me forever to fall back asleep afterwards, and I'm feeling somewhat zombified this morning. Luckily, I don't have to do much that requires real brainpower today...

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

I co - sign on the squirrels. Never met a hedgehog.

I emptied my heart and my tear glands to a nurse and they aren't discharging me after two mg of pain meds. I'm a wreck.

I managed to set my lead developer and the developer lead at each other's throats. Awesome.
