Doggos, please pee so I can go to bed.

Roommate, ugh. Saw him briefly tonight (as his bf arrived AGAIN) and noted that I had called and texted him with no response, and he mumbled some bs excuse without making eye contact. Clearly he used his phone today, unless he is communicating with his boo via smoke signals.

If the lease is up in October, when can I start talking to him about moving out? August?

In happier news, the boy and I are getting gelato tomorrow night in the Quarter. I will actually put on a dress and makeup this time, because I want to. There may well be kissing.

I hope there is kissing.

My mom's sister has been visiting and it's been great but I'm ready for my routine again.

Also somehow guys on POF are messaging me again. One seems nice. He sent me a message with complete sentences.

Kissing! Kissing this guy seems like a very good idea. Convincing wanker roommate to move out asap also seems like a very good thing.

August sounds good. Give him at least 60 days to find something else.

I let ltc drink from my cup a lot. A sip or two of tea or some seltzer. Boy was she mad at dinner tonight when she couldn't have any of margarita.

I am in favor of kissing and of complete sentences. Also of ltc waiting a couple decades to try margaritas.

ltc's strong personality will serve her well in the future, although it is quite the challenge for the parents that think they are the boss of her.

This was my hope with the Willful Young Emmett and it turned out to be true.

Thanks. This helps a lot, since Emmett is quite obviously an amazing human.

ltc, sj, smonster, all awesome. smonster's new boy, potentially awesome. smonster's wanker roommate, the opposite of awesome.

Laura, incredibly awful about Bobby's friend. I'm so sorry.

Java, increasing wellness to you!

Continuing ~ma for those in hospital, may they be well soon!

Re: me, while of course I want what is best for my leg bones, I also really want this cast off. It itches and is uncomfortable and I want my regular life back. Percocet seems to dull itching as well as pain, and now that I'm taking less of it for pain, there is more itching. It's probably inadvisable to stick a butter knife down my cast to try to scratch my ankle, but I'm doing it anyway.

Good morning! My bag is at the hotel waiting for my room to be available. I'm at the convention center clocking in volunteers who are helping with set-up and working to organize our volunteer room. It is pretty quiet...for now.

No butter knife under the cast!

I had a cast on my shin back in the day. I really wanted to scratch, but I was scared to hurt myself and get an infection. So I invented something: taped the vacuum cleaner's crevice tool to the hair dryer. Got some cool air under the plaster which helped, especially on my trapped foot.

Maybe I just liked being able to do something for my leg while I waited for the bones to knit themselves back together.
