I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Jesse, is it possible the dinner will be over early enough that he would still go out with friends later? And I'd say a token gift would be nice but not necessary (like, a $10 iTunes card or whatever). Especially if you'll be giving him a graduation present.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'll get him a little something, but plan for an actual graduation gift. Also I realize I don't need to worry about my cousin's social life.

The news today was talking about some school (wish I'd paid more attention) that was paying students who graduated "on time". I'm assuming they mean within 4 years. I know when K-Bug was in college, most of her co-hort was looking at 5 years to complete their degrees based on class availability issues. The fact that she finished in 3 is still shocking. In those three years tuition doubled. And this was at a California State University.

I'm kind of glad CJ is starting at a community college. Knock out those gen ed classes.

It's something I'm not entirely secure doing but like, so it's nice to get the reassurance that someone else appreciates it!

I appreciate it even if I can't see it! I like to do this, too. Especially in winter. I have a Hulk outfit that's a kelly green shirt and purple corduroys. When I first started doing it, I felt conspicuous. Now I give no fucks.

That is awesome.

Now I wish I had a Hulk outfit.

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

I aspire to this. I know I'd feel much more confidant in my clothing choices if I were still slim.

I love this so much!

I have several tank tops in very bright colors that I mix and match with regular shirts in varying colors. I feel very tropical.

I think I need talking down off the WE WILL NEVER SELL THIS HOUSE, AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH IT FOREVER, AND ONE DAY SOMETHING WILL FAIL AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT WITHOUT MASSIVE DEBT AND HORRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN! ledge.

I am more upset this morning than I was yesterday.
