Oh, Dana, nobody needs to be staggering around injured at the airport.

Mind the step!

Matilda finished up her baseball season yesterday (hit a line drive single over the shortstop's head in her last at bat. Her last play in the field was a routine grounder where she threw out the runner at first). She did all the Senior Day posters herself too and was hyping up her teammates. They had fun. She had fun, although she prefers softball (with girls instead of stinky boys).

Then she left her lunchbox at the field. And it's one of those fancy thermos-y, hot water chamber lunch assembly deals from Japantown which has kept her in hot lunches for two years, but no more.

Oh well. We definitely got our money's worth.

Trying to prep in advance of our next trip down to LA on Thursday. Le sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Dana! What a pain, literally and figuratively.

I have BBQ. That helps a lot.

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks, Brenda, apparently making bullet points is one of the cleaner things McNulty's good at.(Which, of course I stole the phrase for because I know a lot about things people do to make stuff look nice and/or promoting line-towing) Yow, Dana. Hec, when I'm stressed, I lose things too. But it does suck.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh no, Dana!

I am on DAY TWO of my new job and so far everybody is very welcoming and helpful and I am basically a nervous wreck who is trying my very best to cosplay a Normal Human Who Knows How To People.

Our wings are not tired.

Good job with the Peopleing, Jess!

Um, okay. I guess it is better than the dozen looking for a quick call emails I get a day.

I believe in your ability to fake being a Normal Human Who Knows How To People, Jess! *\o/*

I'm about to go pick up a po boy *and* a pork chop on mac&cheese special because I am determined to give in to all the cravings I can today, apparently.
