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

Happy birthday, sumi!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Skippity, skip, skip...

Tom, I hope you get a new therapist. Yours sounds unprofessional. And kind of rude.

We got snow this weekend. And since we have two new drivers unused to snowy conditions, I'm essentially a wreck every time I get into the car with them.

Owen has come out as transgender (new name Robin). She doesn't want to come out publicly until after high school--which, hey, I can totally understand. And Oliver is learning transmasc. So I'm back to a son and a daughter.

David, I have a scarf problem. Like waaaaay too many scarves. And only one sweaty neck to put them on.

Wow, Cash, that’s a lot! It amazes me this new generation and how much things have changed in so short a time!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Meanwhile I had a lovely welcome back from vacation this morning by the dog puking on my carpet well before my alarm. Ugh. I am really hoping this is not a sign of how the rest of my day will go??

I came back from therapy this morning to be greeted by cat puke. I looked at the cat, who was following me like "Didja find it? Didja find it?", and said "I cried for half an hour and just wanted to come back and eat some chocolate. This...is not that." Then he launched himself at my leg, whapped my calf with a paw (claws NOT extended, which means he was playing), and ran off. (I did eventually eat chocolate.)

Owen has come out as transgender (new name Robin). She doesn't want to come out publicly until after high school--which, hey, I can totally understand. And Oliver is learning transmasc. So I'm back to a son and a daughter.

All right, Robin and Oliver!

Our wings are not tired.

My son had his first time driving in snow after being a Floridian all his life last year. Pity the people behind him because he is normally a poke, but in snow, ha, even slower.

Your children are fortunate to have loving supportive parents, Cash. I feel so for the too many kids out there who don't have the love they deserve. How are you doing? I've had you on my mind a lot after the loss of your dad.

Wow, that's a lot, but so proud of them and you and your husband have done such a good job.

Robin & Oliver: really feels like there needs to be more archery in their lives.

How are you doing?

I’m okay. I miss Dad a lot. his estate will probably be a shitshow dealing with the house and figuring out a plan for my brother. But I can only give them my opinion and see what happens. Thank you.

I think realizing that my kids’ gender and identity is all about THEIR journey and their dreams and that my assumptions made before they were born don’t really matter as much as their happiness—and, in fact, don’t come close to touching the amazing people they are growing into.

Oliver has some startling green eyes and looks fantastic in green. Robin still likes obscure band t-shirts.

First world problem of the day: people who include checks with forms are (1) stapling them to the forms (so they have to be removed from the form without tearing them); (2) taping them to the forms (again requiring that they be removed without damaging either check or form); and (3) doing intricate folding of said checks for ... reasons? (I've taken to referring to this as office-gami). sigh ... people ....
