But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I woke up with a migraine and have a dentist appointment later (just a cleaning), so I feel like I really messed up the assignment for Birthday Fun. (I took migraine meds and the migraine *is* going away, so yay pharmacotherapy.) (Also, there will be sushi for dinner later, which will be a vast improvement on Birthday Dentist Visit.)

Happy Birthday Steph!

Pix and I are in Seattle for a layover one our way to Missoula to spend a few days with my birth family there.

Have fun, Noise!

Happy Tep day! Go go pharmocotherapy!

Have a wonderful trip, ND and Pix. Hope unwinding and relaxing happens.

Migraine is all gone (god bless Ubrelvy and my insurance that pays for it), and teeth are cleaned! I might just loaf around in the air conditioning and watch trashy TV until it's time for sushi.

Have a great trip, ND and Pix!

Yay for the good drugs! Loafing around watching trashy TV capped off with sushi sounds like a most excellent plan. Enjoy!

Happy birthday, Steph! I'm glad the migraine went away so you can enjoy the rest of it.

Good plan!

Emmett & Kalena are headed to Wisconsin tomorrow morning for a wedding where Emmett is a groomsman.

Jon B. is in town this week, and he's officially the First Guest at the Garden Apartment.

JZ and I are about to commit to a dresser which would make a significant difference in the number of boxes lying around awaiting unpacking.

Matilda is the only one who's really in a groove in the new house, as she's got her Fancy Bedroom squared away, and is working every weekday as a camp counselor. (Though we'll be disrupting everything next week when we paint/wallpaper her room.)
