Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.

Yikes, meara! I hope it is something simple. (Sorry! I don't know how I conflated sara and meara!)

Steph, what Kat said. And also, you're a pretty awesome sister, I hope you know.

I would have told the kid's manager, Matt. That's awful.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Steph, hope you and your family are still holding steady.

I've been texting with my brother all day, and I think he's doing okay. He said he did some yoga and he's so out of shape that he thinks he pulled a muscle in downward dog. (No judgment here; I did actually pull a shoulder muscle in Warrior 1 once.)

I'm so freaking tired, though. Oh my lord. I kind of want to go to bed and sleep until June.

Weirdass day. Had an unexpected cat-forced nap in which I dreamed I woke up, but not fully, then passed out and dreamed in the dream and then woke abruptly for real from that. Left me unsettled and then a rough swim in a hot pool (Uhg.) went to the hardware store and ran into tons of people I know, which was hilarious,but my brain's still off kilter.

Uhg, meara. Not fun.

sara, you've been dealing with so much that no wonder your brain is doing trippy-nap things.

I'm borderline sick, but I had to take N to soccer tryouts and then hockey equipment pick up. I walked 4 miles while N did tryouts but I feel slow and blargh because of the sick.

My packing and fighting with family nightmares are a regular feature of late. I've gotten used to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You all could use a break.

meara, here's hoping it's easy to fix.

WTF is wrong with this cat?

Asshole.

Sigh. Should've had triple a, the tow was $175 :(

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh meara, that sucks! It seems like everything related to cars is a rip-off

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs for all who want/need them.
