Oh, yeah, right, kiddo! I totally say kiddo. I use it to make a distinction between any putative biological children and my students, though. My students are my kiddoes. I don't have any kids. My students will remain kiddoes until they and/or I die, though, so people who are not old like me can just suck it up and deal with it.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Can I just say how enamored I am of the Dominoes status bar?
It tells me when I have to put pants on and get to the door.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I want pizza. Jeez, body of mine, I have fed you plenty today, be satisfied.
Still liking those first boots best.
Sleep well once you eat, Liese!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh. Tonight has been unexpectedly tough. DH is in a foul mood and Franny is dithering over her homework, which just makes both of their moods fouler. And I'm trying to keep things in check but it's making me feel frazzled. Oh and I had what might have been the early signs of a migraine today -- headache, spacey, nausea -- but I took some naproxen and that seems to have done the trick (which is good because I don't officially get migraines so I have no actual migraine meds in the house). Now I need to grade student homework before I go to bed.
Too damn long. My days are too damn long. I realized I'm incredibly privileged and should be counting blessings instead of whining, but I find the 6am to 10 or 11pm routine is no longer working for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea! I think of you surprisingly often.
Hi, Emily!
It's not?? My faith in my knowledge is gravely shaken. Is the Queen not on their stamps? My stamp collection is not easily accessible.
It's still a Crown dependency, so the Queen is their Queen too. But they didn't sign up for a whole bunch of other stuff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My steroid munchies didn't kick in until (more or less) today, *after* I finished the 6 days' worth of steroids. I have eaten a lot of cookies today, and a big fat burger for dinner from the new place up the street. I hope the munchies leave me alone tomorrow. Although that was a damn good burger.
