There's a muscle in my shoulder that is knotting up painfully. It's oddly satisfying.
Ma ~ma to Callaluna. I do not want to go to work and I am, in fact, about 2 hours late because I fell asleep again just as I should have been waking up. I am really sick of being up at 3 or 4 am, and not being able to get to sleep again until 6. Which is when I need to wake up. It's mostly because of this weird hip and thigh pain I have and have had for going on 20 years now. At least I am pretty sure it isn't cancer because I think it would have worsened.

...aaaaannnnd now I want to watch "Dredd".
For the fifteenth time.
~ma to your mom, Callaluna.
Why didn't any one tell me how much I would love basil in stir fry?
I should have, basil dishes are my favorites at Thai restaurants. Though really, if it's good Thai almost everything will be tasty. The only caveat is to work your way up the hotness scale, because Thai cooks do not play around with the spices when someone orders "hot."
~ma for your mom Callaluna
callaluna, all my love to you and your mom
Mom~ma, Callaluna.
Much medical-ma for your mother, Callaluna.
I'm still fighting this cold, but I can't lounge around in pjs all day, since I foolishly arranged to have cleaners come. Which means I have to straighten the house, argh.
But first, walk the dog, who really wants to run and play but keeps falling down. Her hips are degrading really rapidly.
All the ~ma for your mother, Callaluna.
I found that my kids started out happy to eat anything, got insanely picky (Annie's Shells to the rescue!) and slowly got better during adolescence. Insisting on "just one bite" did sometimes, slowly, convert a food from anathema into a favorite. There was a while when my daughter ate only vegetables with an a: artichokes, asparagus, avocado. As adults, they're both the sort of person who will order chicken gizzards once because, what the hell, they might be delicious.
tl;dr: My kids weren't perfect foodie kids, but they grew out of it.
