Our wings are not tired.

I thought that you might know about it!! And thought of you as I posted it. I will send Matt a note to let him know that if he gets any donations in the next couple of days, he can thank a certain Slayer, who saved the world, a lot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Now I’m remembering my dad at the VA hospital years ago and we sent three pizzas for the nurse’s station and somehow nobody realized and thought they were all for him. (!!)

And the next day he’s all “that was so nice but it was really way too much pizza” like, no shit dude. That was not for you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank you, javachik.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you javachik. You are, as always, the best. That would be a lot, and speed is of the essence here.

The status is NOT quo.

What everyone else said. Thank you, javachik.

Thank you, javachik!

David, is JZ out of the g-tube placement?

kat, is your tag from Turning Red?

maybe, smonster? I have no idea. I should change it to something Barbie.

Excellent idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Tim's first night home was a little rougher than expected, but things will get smoother from here

The first night after the surgery pain meds is a terrible adjustment. Glad he’s staying ahead of the pain.

I don’t like feeling helpless when there is a mountain of practical shit to be done.

Thanks for the trans wardrobe links. Oliver doesn’t have any trouble finding clothes, but Robin has a lot more difficulty matching her clothes to her gender identity. And that’s WITH ME as a mom (the person who will throw money around clothes shopping like paper at a ticker tape parade).

I hope JZ gets home safe and is more comfortable at home. David, I know you have a support team and this is a nightmare of planning and stuff but hand iff any task you possibly can.

My brother in law always amazed me with his ability to effectively co-parent with his ex. The “kid” is 20 now and a junior in college and they never went through the courts to manage any custody or child support issues. Which, in this day and age (and with infidelity at the root of their breakup) is a miracle of patience and decency.

Today I took a ferry across Sydney Harbor to see the opera house and bridge. I did that with billytea nearly 20 years ago, and was why I suggested it to my friend. Made me think so fondly of the many long long memories and friends we’ve made here.
