We're trying to get into the habit of family days out and as neither of us grew up where we live we need to test places out to see if they are viable long term visiting places. Mr PigDog picked today and we went to this weird offshoot of London's Natural History Museum. It's in Tring and is an old Victorian private collection of stuffed animals. This Lord sent people out to poach pretty much everything and even trained zebras to pull his carriage. It was really weird. It's not quite making me happy because the stuffed chimps, gorillas and orangutans made me feel a bit peculiar but it was like going to a corpse zoo which you don't do every day. You will never see a Polar Bear so close. I don't think we'll be going back although kids seemed to really love it.....

This news: http://www.bbc.com/n...europe-38871667 We're still holding our breath, waiting for next BS stunt they'll try to pull and we'll keep asking for Dragnea to resign (so far he's tossing the sacrificial lambs but we're not going to accept just that). Still, I have hope and I'm feeling good about it.

I had a strange random dream last night. QT and his wife came to spend the week at my house while we were all on vac. After I picked them up from airport and got home I opened the door and Amp was passed out on my couch next to all his luggage. He woke up and asked what I had to eat. So I went to fridge and started making something for him. While doing so we started making plans to go out for the night and I decided to txt Ando telling him to hurry up and get his ass over so we could we finally leave for the night. He opened my front door when I set the phone down.

Then I woke up needing to piss.


Awwww

Phone call there about a half hour ago.
Wasn't a phone call I was waiting for or expecting in any shape or form but it's made me inordinately happy.
Totally changes my life for the next 2/3 years if it carries through like I hope.
As such I won't be saying anything more until I get the follow up phonecall tomorrow

I've been writing a story (as a hobby) for a while now, and reading it is making me feel so talented (even though I know that I'm objectively NOT).

It's fun being proud of something you've done.

took some pain, but I did hit full passive extension today. On my own I can pull off 4 degrees, so even if I get to that, that's going beyond noticeable.

I'm hopeful, as long as I can keep up working on it, i"ll have full motion in the arm again soon.

This is true. A friend of mine is aunt to a precocious little girl of 3, who came into the guest room while she and her hubby were sleeping, thinking it was her parents sleeping there, and she peeled back the covers to see her aunts face instead and after a moment of silence calmly said "Aw Fuck."

When my son was 4 he was on top of a stool and dropped a crayon onto the floor below him. Same thing. Ahhh fuck.
My mother in-law was over and looked at me. Like I was going to tell him not to say that. I told her that he said it in the right context so why would I get mad.
I was so proud of him. ;)

So far the only times he has sworn have been when he has copied someone after they've sworn (and now copying the words to a song). He's yet to just come out and swear on his own. I don't swear often around him, usually only when something unexpected happens like breaking something or stubbing my toe. I've been saying 'ridiculous' and 'Maker's breath' and 'damn it' in place of usual swears. He says 'that's ridiculous' a lot. And 'damn it' occasionally. He prefers 'oh man!' courtesy of Swipper from Dora the Explorer.

When he is angry with someone he calls them a pinecone. :D
