Yes, your mom is tough. Moms sometimes have very different pain threshholds...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I asked her, "Damn, Mom, did you have pain meds when you gave birth???" And she said "A whole lot of percocet!"
So apparently she's just a cardiovascular weirdo.

By the time I'm done customizing the Wordpress theme for my wife's website I think I might have well just written my own theme.
The cri de coeur of many a WP admin. We're in the process of adding new official themes for the multisite at work. It's pretty complex and involved. Luckily I'm just along for review and beta testing.

Bodies are strange. My dad had major dental work without wanting or taking pain meds, but when he stubbed a toe or twisted an ankle, he really felt the pain.

I sometimes have pain with menstrual cramps that is so bad I throw up, and advil doesn't help much, but I had two babies without pain meds at all, including after an episiotomy. Bodies is weird.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for relatively painless recovery! Well done Teppy Mom.
Also, pie! I don't think I will ever see a pie chart in the future without a grin of remembrance.

What I have done in the last four hours: went to the car dealership to pick up and attach my license plates, got a hair cut, went shoe shopping, bought groceries, navigated the traffic around the city's summertime festival to get home. It's me in front of a fan for the rest of the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I haven't been clicking through links, but I have been following along, so I'm not sure if anyone's shared the "Why I swear" pie chart yet? (Spoiler: It's 100% "because fuck you.")
I am home from Europe! It was a good trip, but I was super ready for it to be done. So that's perfect. Am especially glad I cleaned the house before I left, and am laughing at the extra blanket I left on the bed, because it finally got warm here. Like, yesterday.

Crap, I want to go to sleep so badly. I can hold out until 9, right?

Good luck Jesse!!
I ran my half marathon! Well, walked most of it. Because for some reason even though my IT band gave me no trouble in training, at mile 4 both sides decided to start hurting. So I was in pain a lot. Boo!! But it's done.
