Because books.

Uh oh. I haven't looked at any news yet.

Oh, no! We've recently been catching up on Parts Unknown, and it is such a good show. His poor daughter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What the fuck, man. So sad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's a tough time to be a member of Generation X.

I'm sitting here trying not to cry in front of ltc because it will upset her, but I'm taking this one harder than I thought I would.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Wow. Yeah, I'm taking that one hard, too.

Because books.

I got all choked up about Kate Spade the other day, too.

ltc is going to be evaluated in a couple of weeks for any possible learning disabilities. Please someone reassure me that they're not going to see that she has a disabled parent and try to take her.

sj, I'm sorry that this is causing so much anxiety for you. Evaluation for learning disabilities is about figuring out if there is early intervention that would be good for ltc. They will be trying to help figure out how to help her not judge you.

Thanks, Kat. It's just always in the back of your mind when you're a disabled parent. It was also TCG's first thought. People are very judgementsl about adaptions I have to make as a parent. It's not uncommon for ltc to get pitying looks for having me as a parent.
