Thrive to spite them

Somehow scheduling a DNA test is falling on Mom. This seems wrong. If the mother of this other child wants to establish paternity she needs to schedule even if someone else ends up paying for it..

SJ I'm sorry about your contractor.

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

I’m so sorry, Steph

My condolences to you and Tim, Steph.

Toddson, at least they don't have automatic doors that can malfunction once people are closed in the restroom?

Matt, there are times when I have problems getting out of the building (you need to press "Lobby" to get the elevator to get out and, sometimes, I get "Access Denied" ... but I have alternatives.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry, Steph. It's so hard.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tim's doing pretty well today, although he apparently didn't fall asleep until 6:30 a.m. and got up before 11 a.m., so "pretty well" is relative. I was up until 4 a.m. and got up at 10 a.m. and deeply resent being awake.

Tim and his brothers are going to the funeral home shortly to plan shit. I personally don't think it's a good idea with Covid to have a visitation. I think a funeral Mass is basically fine, as long as there's no gathering afterwards. However, that is my opinion, and I have no idea what Tim and his brothers are going to plan.
