I vote no. One of my recurring anxiety dreams growing up involved blurred vision and being unable to see clearly. I stopped having that dream in my late teens, and it didn't come back after I started needing glasses. I don't recall any dreams where I perceived myself to be wearing glasses.

I had a nightmare (but not hallucination) a few weeks ago that I suddenly realized my vision had just slowly deteriorated without my really noticing, and somehow it was as bad as before I'd had urgent and I was all upset. Thankfully, not true (I'm not 20/20, but haven't been since surgery--more like 20/30)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A lasso doesn't crack, though.

Might in really skilled hands.

Petco was out of the lightweight kitty litter, btw. Looks like Target carries some, but I don't think I'll be able to get over there for a couple days, at least.

paging Kate P: I finally boxed up the costumes that N & G have grown out of (pirate, knight, doctor, police officer) and would love to send them. Can you send me your address so I can post them?

I looked at the lightweight stuff, but honestly, getting a 35lb tub every so often (I know I've had one in my trunk 2 weeks and I just now need it, so a month at least) isn't worth the cost and experimentation.

And it doesn't kill me to haul it upstairs. Now, I routinely manage to ding my ankles carrying the tub of used litter down to the trash(>35 lbs!!! Steeper stairwell) but that's me.

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

Whips are weapons/noisemaker and lassos are for catch and restraint. Apple and oranges.

Ignoring ita's post only because I'd be in my bunk instead of reporting on the day.

CJ seemed to enjoy his birthday. Reading him can be difficult some time. Though he did seem excited about getting his own passport.

I'm officially the parent of two "adults". In quotes cause they will always be my babies.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

She's right.

I told Tim to post on the thread in question to set the person straight w/r/t lasso vs. whip. He looked at me like I was nuts, so I said "Right my wrongs! She has failed this city!"

I don't think he appreciates my migraine med-fueled mania.
