Oof, I feel for Matilda! poor kid!
But her hair looks great!
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Thrive to spite them
I had a terrible time with my ears and piercings, either with infections, cysts or growing closed. I finally just gave up on it. Hopefully that doesn't happen to Matilda because she has such a great sense of style and she'd use earrings well.

Poor, Matilda. That sounds terrible. The purple hair is awesome, though. My public school had a policy against unnatural hair colors. Is that not a thing anymore?
I try to remind myself of the good enough parenting as often as I can, but it is hard sometimes with everyone and their opinions.

Poor Matilda. Glad it is solved, and yay purple hair!
Yep, I hope it didn't seem like I was criticizing your reaction, that was not my intention. Burrell's comment that she doesn't have a good grasp of boundaries (especially knowing this is a common issue among some of your friends) seems right on to me.
I am trying to remember how to set up my backpacking tent. Possibly I should have tried this more than 4 days before we leave. @@ at self.

Coding and Sleeping
It's been a very busy weekend and I've felt ill during a lot of it. On Saturday though, we went to visit my parents to celebrate Em's 17th birthday.
Here she is: [link]

Em looks lovely, Gud. Happy 17th to her! And I hope you're feeling better.

17.
Nope. toddler.
Not having it, not believing it. lalala you can't make me.
My brother is moving from NYC to LA in the next month or 2 and he is going around taking pictures of all his old apartment building and places where key things happened or whatnot. It is like a gut punch. I feel like my last hold on NYC is going away. He moved there in 89 the same year I started college there. He left for a couple of years, then he was back in 94 when I left for 3 years and he has not left since. At least one of us lived there for the last 27 years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe TCBITW Is 17! That is ridiculous.
Oh wow, Rebecca. That is a real passing.
