So that's just me reading too much into my Mom's call.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It sounds like it wasn't about Father's Day, but I don't think that means you're reading too much into it.
To make things even better, there's a tropical storm forming in the Gulf.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No pillow fort for Tom's Mom.

Eh, regardless of specific reasons, a call from a parent to tear you down is Not Good.
In much less galling parent news, my mom called me twice in quick succession during last night's viewing of Jurassic World, which gave me a moment of panic until I could get out of the theater and use my phone. Turns out Dad interrupted her first call with a MedicAlert test, and she didn't think about what an immediate second call would imply.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that. For what it's worth, I now picture your mother as Livia Soprano.

Actually, my grandmother was Livia Soprano. Quite uncannily, actually. She's how my Dad learned how to take out all his anger on me and my sisters. Circle of life, yo.

Well, that makes your familial situation pretty clear, Tom. I'm sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Scola. Your mom is wrong. That is all.
I would happily climb into a pillow fort. My right hip has been hurting badly for a few days, except for a brief respite after yoga Friday. I tried just about everything last night - Alexander Technique, acutepressure, a full dose of muscle relaxant (I usually take half), and sleeping on a heating pad - to no avail. I'm putting most of my weight on my other leg. I made a PT appt tomorrow, which will eat a good chunk of my day; it'll be worth it if I can get some relief.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sympathetic ughs to Tom, Sue, and Dana. I hope things smooth out, esp with the asshat making the false insurance claim.
So my son is at camp today, where they will keep him busy so we will both be happier. Daughter we kept home. She was supposed to go to sailing camp, which will be awesome, but not for a child who is still coughing like whoa. So her sailing camp has been switched to mid July instead, when her brother will be in Minecraft camp. Frances and I are now awaiting a call from the doctor about whether or not they want to bring her in for a chest x-ray. I am hoping that a day without fever means a Get Out Of X-Ray Free pass.
