My coworker who had a miscarriage after a surprise pregnancy last year is pregnant again. This time it was planned. She just showed me ultrasound pictures and I asked her if they had a nickname yet and told her how Princess Tickybox got her nickname
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I’m at the dentist. I think I cracked a tooth a while ago - noticed it felt different like a gap where there didn’t used to be a gap and more sharpness than felt familiar to my tongue but it didn’t, like, hurt so I just ignored it. Well, now it hurts and there’s some swelling, so, dentist. My appointment was for ten minutes ago and I got here half an hour early to fill out paperwork (is it still paperwork when it is on an iPad? I think it is) so I may run out of ability to entertain myself…

-t I hope someone gets you back soon. I hate having to wait for a doctor or a dentist.

No word yet. I can overhear them sounding like they are trying to rearrange the schedule, something must have happened. But I’m just waiting.

Aha, eavesdropping tells me they are short handed by two assistants.

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

Root canal Thursday morning. Do I know how to kick off a vacation or what?
