Obesity is also on the official CDC list of risk factors so yay me, I also qualify.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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
Ex-smoker too, so I have no qualms about it. As you say, there is no actual shortage, just an abundance of dumbfuckery.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Aw, a Karl sighting is always nice for my spirits(and, you know, a few points south, but maybe I'll stop before I open Bitches) You know times are tough when you can't really celebrate not-cancer, or at least, it doesn't lighten your load a ton.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett came over today and helped me with all the tasks that required someone to be on a ladder or two people to carry stuff to the attic.
I took him to lunch and we stopped at a small dogpark, and we talked about life and death, and Jacqueline. And as we talked we watched a hummingbird hovering over the bushes nearby.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
and we talked about life and death, and Jacqueline.
I miss her so much. Of course it's nothing like the way you and Matilda and Emmett miss her, but it's a ragged hole in my heart.

I never know what things will make me think of her. Sometimes it's expected and sometimes a Jacqueline will show up in a phonebank and then it's like "She'll never vote Fruitpunch again," Tep, I sent you a message picking your medical brain.(Long, strange trip with my gut after a slow thyroid shut it down last year...would rather get punched, repeatedly, I swear.) But nothing too complicated for you.

erika, maybe resend your message? I don't have anything from you in my inbox. (Also, I'm headed out the door to the grocery store, so I won't be around to reply for a while.)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Tep, yeah, must have used your old info. I've resent a trimmed-down version. Could really use some gut sanity. also, it just freaked out again, and I'm not sure what to eat today(It's been since the small hours, but...)

Rabbit Rabbit and Happy Labor Day!
I hope everybody is celebrating with very little labor if any.
I have no pilates this morning, so the entire structure of my week has already collapsed.

Our wings are not tired.
I went to the gym this morning. That is it for my laboring, except maybe unpacking my suitcase.
