chuckle My husband's a cheapskate, but not an engineer...so...yeah, some plans backfire.

I only lived with him for about a year and it was essentially like living with a Nocker. He also had this weird gift for finding amazing deals but only when the moon was full or near full. It’s when he found the chest freezer.

Sounds like a former roommate of mine. Total nocker, but with musical instruments/tech.

And perpetually hunting for "finds."

Okay, dinner prep. I'll be back later.

Mmmm......

Oh mah lawd.... Thing1 is a preteen. I told him at the grocery store when we got home I could give him eyeliner tips. EMO? Lil bit. *rueful laugh*

LOL Love it!

THe cute part? I approach the sullen boy. He is deadpan. Dead-eyed. Dead-heart. He stares beyond me into the void.

"Thing1?"

"Mmph."

"Thiiiinnngggg111111?"

A glimmer of a grin... he drops his head, looking to the ground.

"Thhiinnnng 1?!?!?"

The grin gets bigger, he scowls around it at the ground.

((Totally experimenting with the act....))

He just wanted to get HOME and play VIDEO games....

giggle Must....build....persona....!

YES. YES YES YES.

Meanwhile, I've had a 32 oz LIIT....

giggle Yeah, you're feelin' no pain.

Eh. It was a bar LIIT; a bit light, but NICE while it lasted.

Good enough. 🙂

1 lb of crab legs and some sides later.....

allo?

were you seriously quiet for two hours?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

chuckle You better buy that.

think geek vetted - money actually goes to Beagle

not the evil ex manager

but... sigh...

Sigh?

I just bought glasses, and pennsic, and today 50 bucks for a chunk of plastic seems unreasonable

That makes sense.

but I do love it

and there's only 2 more hours of today

fuck today

Was it bad?

Pretty sure Shades has keyboard face.

Emotions

knew it was gonna come

mostly managed

only cried three times

Gotcha.

I...think others have better context of what this day is than I do. Something to do with your father?

yes

he died two years ago. which, y'know, there's the whole thing that it is supposed to get better

I don't know if it so much gets better, as it becomes less frequent?

Sympathies, Catnik.

Right, okay. I think it becomes re-compartmentalized, from "this is life" to "this is memory of life"...but that takes time.
