It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

that's a great name for a dobie, Laura -- since I think of Trinity as sleek and dark, like a dobie.

My rescue is anxious for me to get off the couch, since I spent all day yesterday in my pjs with a cold. I do feel better this morning, and she really needs a walk. So as soon as I finish this cup of faux-chai (black tea with some chai spice, honey, and milk) I will take her out. It's a beautiful sunny day, and I'm a bit bummed I was too sick to go skiing this weekend, but I'm glad my sister went anyway without me.

I need to put this somewhere just to get it out of my head.

E was not in his room when I just went to tell him I am headed out. His phone shows he is home, but he is not. He did not answer a phone call.

This is not out of nowhere - he spent Friday night out. I thought with a friend I have met, but instead with a friend I have not met and whose parents I have not met and who I already expressed that I did not want E hanging out at their house until I met them. Then he stayed out the rest of the day, part of which was at an apartment complex where I know of noone that he knows. No messages to me the entire day, At 10pm I start texting him because he should be home and I get no response. I locate hime outside the mall on the tracker and go pick him up. He was dropped there by friends on the plan of "going to see a movie" alone? he never goes to movies alone? also at 10pm? when I expect him home no later than 10:30.

so it is not out of no where. He is mad at me for "tracking his every move" and "needing to no everyone".

I have turned off data on his phone so if nothing else he will probably text me angry about that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ugh, msbelle. None of that is fun.

Has anyone used Shipt delivery from Target? I'm guessing that I should have a tip ready for the delivery person?

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

I'm sorry, msbelle.

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

I'm sorry, msbelle.

I've used it a couple times. It's a good service. You can tip through the app; after the delivery is made, you get a rating screen where you can leave feedback and tip.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yikes, msbelle. This is why parenthood is not for the faint-hearted.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, msbelle.

Meanwhile, it's Sunday, so Mr. S is misbehaving so much that I have done solo trips to get lunch, and then to the supermarket.

And still no child or responses to texts or calls. Ive reached out to the one parent I have a phone # for. No response either.

Come home, mac, come home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, msbelle. Sorry.
