Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

askye, the other important thing for me was wearing supportive shoes in the house so I was never walking barefoot on hard surfaces. The best thing for me turned out to be a pair of Crocs slippers. And yeah, it takes forever to get over, unfortunately.

said to me in a condescending manner (and not for the first time) "So now you have your whole day free".

I guess "okay, boomer" isn't the correct response here. "Bitch, please"? "Bless your heart"?

No, she's younger than me, along with every other mother.

"Bitch, please"? "Bless your heart"?

I'm not sure I could pull off either of those. I'm not good with quick on the spot responses. I usually just go quiet and walk away.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry you have to hear that, sj. People are terrible.

My computer glasses are literally just a weaker prescription of my distance glasses. And, yes, it is better for me to wear them all day long while staring at a screen an arm's length from my face, I notice the difference when I don't but I also cannot read the clock on the wall or street signs if I forget to change back when I leave my desk. I'm surprised you optometrist is being obtuse about that, Jess. tl:dr, it's time to have two pairs of glasses (maybe three, how is reading going?)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

sj, you are the opposite of inadequate and that woman is jealous.

I guess I'll just put it down to her sleep deprivation from having infant twins. I'm sure she'd love some quiet time to herself, but I'd also like the energy and ability to have 4 kids.

Herding cats for fun

How do you know I have the whole day free? Why do you care what I do? Have you been following me and spying? I'm that important to you? How Sad! pay attention to your own kids, why doncha? Thanks for your creepy and inappropriate concern!

Oh yaaaas, Loudon County Trump Flipper! Free speech!

askye, like Dana, wearing supportive shoes around the house really helped me. I have a pair of SAS sandals with good arch support that I wear pretty much all the time I'm in the house. No more going barefoot for me, alas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

tl:dr, it's time to have two pairs of glasses (maybe three, how is reading going?)

Reading & computer can share, but that's still three since for day driving I have my polarized sunglasses!

Oh god. I have leukemia. I have to check into the hospital in an hour and a half for at least a week. How is this possible?

Oh, amyth. I hug you as hard as possible from afar.
