I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Oh, and I have my colonoscopy referral ready to go. My doctor suggested waiting a little bit since my insurance changed at the beginning of year but now I think it’s about time to get scheduling.

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

I hope it doesn't get too interesting, Atropa. Wakes, in my opinion, do not need extra added drama.

I have been doing the at home test periodically, which I still think is a really weird thing to do/be able to do (not least because of the whole sending biohazards through the mail part), but certainly better than doing the whole icky drink and actual procedure thing. Clean bill of health every time so far.

Always Anti-fascist!

It wasn't exactly easy, but getting scoped would be my personal cruciamentum so, good enough atm.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

This has not been a good week. Mr. S had another major meltdown yesterday which included pulling the fire alarm. He's broken a number of pieces of school equipment(mostly Chromebooks). Gary's meeting with the principal on Monday. Sigh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So...to make my week complete, a girl at Matilda's school has been harassing her, spreading lies about her (you know the kind of lies teenage girls tell) and it's making Matilda's life even more stressed out. She was just talking to her therapist this week about how to deal with her panic attacks.

Apparently one of the girls on the group chat has turned in all of the harassing girls messages, including the fact that she's lying.

Which means I'm going to request a meeting with school officials on Monday, meeting with this girl's parents and go over the legal definition of defamation, with a side order of Cyberbullying.

We'll see how her parents feel about that.

Our wings are not tired.

Poor Matilda, and you! I'm grateful that my boys didn't have to deal with social media issues but just the usual high school crap.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'll have you all in my heart, especially you, Matilda and Emmett, David. But I won't be able to be there, I regret. I'm sure it will be spirit-lifting and wonderful. It sounds absolutely lovely.

I might try the pizza, but the sundae is out of the question.
