Tommy, that's a lot to deal with. I totally condone the ignoration of the diet in the short term.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, tommy. That's a brutal lot of emotional weight to carry at once. Strawberry waffles sounds like a perfectly reasonable response.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I expect the various tests will show I've been ignoring anything good I should be doing. I plan to say, "The last three months don't count, let's reconvene this discussion in November."
I so hope I don't have to tell them the news, they were his doctors too, I'm hoping word has spread. I'm tired of telling people who don't know.

Sorry for everything piling on, tommy. "Eating your feelings" seems like a perfectly cromulent response to me. Much ~ma.
Connie, I would hope that your doctor has the sense to recognize that your priorities have been rejiggered lately and to not be jerks about it. And that the info precedes you to your appointment. ~Ma for you too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
For about half an hour there I didn't have anything urgent and could decide what to work on next. I was very careful not to say so out loud, but I guess I thought it too loud because boy is that state gone.

And it's only been an hour since the last time I bitched. Bah. Again.
And if I'm not careful, some major company will have a catastrophic crash and keep me here till 8.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”
Clay's actually the US House Rep. Jay Nixon (such an unfortunate name for a politician) is the governor. Sorry to get pedantic. Despite the name, Nixon is a good sort, and well-regarded enough to get elected twice as the Democratic governor of a red state.
Anyhow, the Highway Patrol have taken over from the Ferguson police. This is a very, very good thing. For one thing, their chief is from that general area of town, originally.
