Congrats shrift!
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, shrift, congrats!
I somehow drifted away from checking here, too, so: Hello! I still have my one job.

OMG, I just read Beep Me, and that is devastating to learn about Norah. I guess everyone else has already worked through it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's still pretty upsetting

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
yeah...I find things she commented on all the time and end up thinking it through again. Not like her nearest and dearest, of course.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats shrift!
Mr. S is getting discharged from the RTC on Friday and I'm a bit nervous about it. Doesn't help that he had a major meltdown last night(We did a Saturday to Monday visit because there was a visit to a potential non-public school, and a visit to the new public school scheduled for today) which involved him pulling my hair and throwing things at me.

Job having is good.
Sending good vibes to all of you, Sheryl.
I woke up with a tickle in my throat this morning, so I am trying to placebo my way out of an actual cold or whatever with Zicam and am also taking Mucinex to pre-game in case there is an onslaught on the way. Please send mind-over-matter vibes my way.

Our wings are not tired.
Sending the ain’t~nothin~ma, Jen.
I hope you find a good school option for Mr. S and that the transition home goes smoothly.
My eyes are still stupid. Moving to antihistamine drops now. Pinkeye resolved but they are still irritated. Really I think serious sedation is needed but will try more drops.

That's the pits, Laura! Wishing you continued healing.
I was waiting for the pharmacy to open at CVS this morning, and a woman in front of me said, "Hello!" as I was reading a texted question from my husband about the pick-up, so instead of responding to her greeting, I responded to my DH's question out loud with a "Yeah." And then it took me a couple of seconds to realize, so I explained to her what had just happened, because my response had sounded kinda rude if you didnt know it was a brain hiccup. Anyway, it was funny, but maybe you had to be there... I made up for it by being chattier with her than I normally am, because she was very chatty. So, karma rebalanced.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, karma rebalanced.
I'm not sure you incurred a karmic debt with a slightly fumbled and distracted greeting.
EM was going to facetime me from Montana to go over paperwork and then cancelled it at the last minute this morning! Rude! Now I have to go through my tax stuff by myself.
I need to wake Matilda up but then I'll have to feed her and shit. And I'm clearly having some motivation issues.
On the plus side I got a new cardigan in the mail. So, cardigan rebalanced.
