Ugh, after spending more than a week in the lovely Florida sunshine (and 30degree weather)...being back in this oppressive, Canadian weather is draining my will.

Can you send your Canadian weather over here, please? It's not even properly April and almost 20°C here and I HATE IT.

This was me yesterday:

Rip is at his second lot of acrobatics/dance/music/drama classes today and he totally ditched ud.

We expected to have to stay, at least for a little bit, but he was all "I liked having you and Daddy there last week but it was kind of awkward. Me can do this by myself. You can go now."

I...I think I'm the one having trouble with this. I want to sneak up and check how he is doing but I can't because I want to support his independence and if he saw me it would undermine the faith he believes I have (and do have) in him.

Parenting can be complicated sometimes.

Go have a drink and congratulate yourselves on doing a good job thus far.

He is growing up!

But seriously I kind of remember my swimming classes when I was 6. I was always so uncomfortable when my mother would stay and watch. I was a lot happier when she came later to pick me up.

For the first time in a long while I was called to the photo department at work to print nudes for a customer. There isn't enough eyebleach in existence to erase what I saw. Why do people print that shit on a public self-serve terminal?

Before someone asks, yes I do actually have to print nudes as a manager if my photo tech is uncomfortable with doing so. At least the company still holds a strong no intercourse photos in any form policy.

[worry]

How many forms of intercourse are there, anyway?

[JPK]

No penetration of any orifice.

Unfortunately, Worry, I have seen things. Things which cannot be unseen.

Edit:spelling.

I reckon I have, at most, another hour of gameplay before finishing Mass Effect Andromeda.

But instead of finishing the game, I'm taking my son and nephew to Movieworld.

It's going to be a loooooooong day.

Woke up with a fever. Spent most of the morning in a semi-unconscious state having fever dreams and conversations with people who weren't here according to my brother.

Pretty glad he was here to mind Ripley because I woke up at about midday and asked Rip if he wanted breakfast not realising hours had passed.

I think it's finally broken now. Besides the fever I don't feel sick or anything. Weird.

Seen this? Classy. Nice to see nerds are taking (apparently) poor animation in their stride and responding proportionately.

Yeah but I'm all ranted out over entitled child-men and their bullshit.

I just hope EA/Bioware stay the course and don't give in to the bastards (again).

Toothache kept me up. Followed by an insane day of work. Feeling very woozy at the moment.

[Andorion]

And now the painkillers are making me woozy. I fell asleep at my desk. Need to go to bed

Are you craving brains?
Blood, maybe?
Do you possibly remember the future?
Weird surgical scars you don't recall having?
...what about superpowers, any superpowers yet?

Ok, so I woke up to pictures of dead children in Syria who were victims of a chemical attack.

So I've been contacting my mother off and on for a couple years now, offering to fly her from the east coast US to stay with my family on the west coast US.

I tried to fly her out for my wedding. Something came up and she couldn't make it.

I tried to fly her out for the birth of my daughter. Again, something else took priority.

I tired to fly her out for winter holidays. Again, negative. This was about the time I posted I here about the stain on the familial relationship and how she never initiates contact unless she needs money.

Last time I heard from her was late January when I again asked about flying her out here, and about the payment plan she promised she'd follow to pay back the loan. (I have a nine month old and childcare is expensive for two parents with 44+ hour workweeks.) She didn't have the money, so I told her no problem we'd still love to see her. Again, she declined because she was broke and moving two states north to live with my sister's family.

After that I've given her done space again until today when I asked if I could fly her out for the Boo's first birthday. Now I'm an emotional mess because this is when she chooses to inform me (via Facebook messenger) that she has breast cancer. I feel terrible for her and I'm obviously upset that she has cancer. She's still my mom, you know.

At the same time, I'm upset because of the way she decided to tell me. Facebook messenger!? Really? This didn't even warrent a phonecall?

To top all of this off, March 31st was the fifth anniversary of my father's death. Two days from now, April 7th, would have been his 70th birthday. He died from colon cancer.

Fuck ALL of this.

[Stormcat]

That is a rotten way to tell you big news like that.

Week long headache. Enough already!

You still have faith to lose? I gave up on humanity as a whole ages ago. Individuals is where our hope lies.

Paul O'Neill the founder and producer of Trans Siberian Orchestra has passed away.

This makes me really sad. I absolutely love their music
