I swear I didn't hit Post on that; it posted itself just as I was about to delete it. So I think I'll leave it there.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

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

I think I made the right call, going back to the therapist and the psychiatrist.
I think this also = Responsibility Champion. Taking care of yourself = Job One.

Connie, next time just bring in the Mountain Dew in a Coca Cola bottle.
That's the stupidest rule I've ever heard of, but I suppose it's worth it to keep the nurses happy with your husband.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Since we're quoting Hyperbole and a Half, I'm about to go to the bank like a motherfucking adult. Booyah. (I am not, however, taking a shower before I go. Working from home is leading to me having the personal hygiene standards of a C.H.U.D. [I do always shower before Tim comes home. Usually RIGHT BEFORE he comes home, but I am by god clean before he walks in the door.])

To quote Allie Brosh, "...an award for everyone who manages to work and email and take care of kids and not kill their plants." YOU are a Responsibility Champion!
Crap, can't keep plants alive. The kids are still alive, so there is that.

Because books.
Yeah, my plants are only hanging in there -- and they're all succulents -- but the kids are okay. So far.

SAME. When I'm sitting at the desk all day editing, sometimes it's just too much of a hassle to shower. But I am not un-depressed, either, so.

I remember those days when I would make sure to have outdoor clothes on and dinner started before TCG got home. I got over it at some point.

If not killing plants is the criterion of a responsible adult, then I don't qualify.

I married someone who keeps the plants alive. That probably doesn't count does it?
