Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Today was my telework day, not that I had a lot to do.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hi, Sheryl!

We had a very good morning, and then somewhere around 3 it was like ltc flipped a switch into crank mode.

Our wings are not tired.

3 is often my crank time too. I've tried to work in a snack and read a bit break. Even just a few minutes. But I didn't today, although now it is 5 so I can kinda quit, or least let it be optional to answer the phone.

Coding and Sleeping

Ugh, development servers are so damn slow that I can't do anything and am now dead in the water. Considering the amount that the development servers slow us down I think the ROI on a half-dozen new servers would be about a week.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Gud, congrats to your youngest daughter on her transition to an identity that suits her better, and also on having supportive parents.

Hec, my sympathies to Matilda and to her parents for their sleepless nights. May this all work out well for everyone involved.

I think I will never be not-tired again.

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

I have literally drunk a gallon of water already today and I still feel like I might be a little on the dehydrated side. Gosh, it's hot.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, congrats to The Cutest Transkid In The World!!! I love that she has love and support surrounding her!

(I'm suddenly convinced I have the ancient nicknames of Gud's kids wrong -- wasn't she the cutest baby and your older daughter the cutest toddler? or was that a sequential thing referring to one or the other? is there a whole nickname series I'm missing? Anyway, much love!!)

7 seems to be the time when Mr. S turns into wild thing. Don't know why.

What is even happening?

There was definitely a cutest baby/kid in the world thing, amych.

Gud, I'm wishing your daughter all the best and that as her transition progresses, she'll start to feel some more confidence.

Hec, I'm shaking my fist at your school district on Matilda's behalf. This is ridiculous. It's particularly ridiculous in a distance-learning situation. I mean, it's not like space is an issue. (I know it will matter long-term, but I don't care to be reasonable.)

We had a very good morning, and then somewhere around 3 it was like ltc flipped a switch into crank mode.

Me too, ltc. Me too.

sj, if we lived closer, I'd have you send her over in the afternoons and we'd go on secret cookie benders together. I'm sorry your afternoon was rough.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. Everyone's tired by 7, which never makes it easier.
