You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Happy Wedding Eve to Jen and her DP - may you both be very happy.

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

Epic! Glad you are doing well, sounds like, and yay for seeing Hannah Gadsby! State disability always seems to have some kind of hangups that keep iot from being paid out in a timely fashion, I hope yours gets straightened out soon.

Punishingly Intricate

Do you mean a sandwich bag for toiletries?? I always just have mine in toiletry bags and it's never been a problem. But, anyway, hope travels are smooth sailing! Or flying.

Our wings are not tired.

Good to see you, Epic! It is great to hear that you are handling the chemo well. Sending ~ma for strength and persistence, and a whole lot of patience and determination with the bureaucrazy that is government entities and insurance companies.

Wedding day happy wishes!

Thrive to spite them

E is off to summer camp. He tolerated me walking him as far as the check in for medicine (he didn't have any to check in) and then was firm he did not need anyone to walk him to his cabin. He also tolerated another hug from me.

Although last night he did ask if he could smuggle me into camp. I explained that it wouldn't look great to find me on a boys cabin "I could hide you at the counselors cabin". But today kept reminding me "we see each other almost every day". Which is Skype and not the same plus I won't see him until the day he leaves camp and ride with him to drop him off halfway because 2 days later he has Boy Scout camp.

E also desperately wants a cell phone and has wanted one. According to him out of the 400 kids in his grade there is only 1 other kid without a cellphone. His parents have said if he had social reasons (it friends he wanted to talk to) he could have a phone but he only regualry does stuff woth his best friend who is in NC and also doesn't have a cellphone. I asked him if there any kids at school or Boy Scouts he is friends with but doesn't get to know better and he said yes. Usually he doesn't talk about anything he did during the day or anyone. So he named off some kids.

I advised him that he should talk about them when his parents asked him what he did and let them know he'd like to know them.better but can't because no cell phone. Especially after Boy scout camp and spending more time with them.
