I have a cold and my stupendous roommate got on Instacart and got me some cold medicine. She even opened the box and brought me the capsules and I'm like you could so easily kill me right now.
She said, but I've already had so many chances! It was strangely reassuring.

Overheard from mother/daughter at a neighboring table at dinner tonight:
M: "We don't stab anything except our food."
D: "Not faces?"
M: "We don't stab faces."
I think for a millisecond I *almost* wished I'd had children.

I'm so weirded out by this trend I've seen lately where people expect their partners to have no contact with any former romantic/sexual partners. Everyone I've known has been very casual and friendly with former partners with no problems.

I was having a random anxiety attack and then realized, oh yeah. Mom's birthday. Almost my birthday. Christmas. And a week and a year ago I blocked my mother. Okay, that explains the mini-freakout.
