Tatiana's Wanderings

It's MARIO DAY today! After COFFEE TIME, I went out at 3:10 on a 401 to help with the kids. Surprisingly, I just managed to get the 3 despite the elevator buttons not responding to my commands. I got to the house at 4:10 despite an electric scooter not knowing how to maneuver smoothly on the bus (I had to move), but those things can be unwieldy! Thank GOODNESS it stayed on the bus AFTER 16th, so I wasn't delayed any more! Once I got in, Beckett wanted to play with me, but my washing hands coincided with his diaper change. After that, we played with blocks / magnets / balls ("boh-boh!") / Play-Doh. He ALMOST licked the Play-Doh lids, looking at me to see how I'd react. I said that was gross and not to do it. He said "come up / yeah / block / ma-net / open! close! / lid / pease / light / purple / Auntie" a lot. Later, he almost fell down, but I was there to catch him and put him on the couch, where we sat together and "talked" about the "funny" blanket and the happy / sad eggs.

When Ayler told me to guess what time he went to bed last night, I actually got the right time: 10 PM! Apparently, there was a choir concert last night at St. James (Jon's old orchestra hangout space), WITH a rehearsal before AND a mass choral recital afterwards, so nobody could leave early even if they wanted to! I realized that they had scheduled it for the day after Daylight Savings, which is NOT GOOD! Hiero spent his time making Superman signals and wanting Popsicle sticks and special paper. He also was less than polite when he laughed at people. Apparently, roasted broccoli is not his thing!

Beckett wanted me to look out the window at the alley because of the lights - good choice! Hiero wanted me to play a game, but I wasn't up for that. There was a felt book with multiple felt pieces, and Beckett identified an X for Tic-Tac-Toe correctly some of the time. He also knew what the moon was, so he's getting smarter! I told him what a flower was when he identified it as a boh-boh (hahaha), and he picked it up from me. When I took my phone out to take photos that were CLEARLY of the food and NOT THE KIDS, Beckett said "gung-gung"... hahaha, I thought he associated the phone with Uncle Joe last week!

Ayler said that their trip is after Tuesday next week, so I said that I know that they get to listen to TICKET TO RIDE on the ride over. "How do you know?" was easily answered since I saw Jon's Facebook status earlier about borrowing someone's copy. Hiero told us about MINECRAFT, but Harmony wondered where he learned about that. The school computers offer that as an option for ALL the kids, apparently, so Harmony says she'll talk to the teacher about that. I did not volunteer that there was Preschool MINECRAFT - she'd be horrified! I left at 7:30 and surprisingly got home at 8:35, despite the stroller at 16th! If you can't be ready when the bus stops, then don't be surprised if a passenger gets on before you maneuver your stuff off the bus! I know it's safer to wait till the bus stops, but come on now - be aware and at least make your way toward the door!

From Julie and I Think My Virginity Is Growing Back: I'm afraid to offend anyone by wishing them a Merry Christmas, so I'm telling everyone I see to fuck off.




From Julie: A cool green dragon with sunglasses!




Christmas Dragon 1... a brown dragon in a stocking with ribbon and bells!




( Eight more Christmas dragons! )

No more r/AskWomen for me! How is "Who has trouble pooping in a public restroom, girls?" rude and "invalidation"? SO FUCKING VAGUE! Jesus Christ, some (SJW) people need to grow a thicker skin and stop getting offended over anything and everything! When you gotta go, you gotta go! No "performance anxiety" should be involved, because who the fuck is WATCHING you do this in the public restroom?! It's not my problem if the random woman in the stall next to me has "performance anxiety" when it comes to bathroom-related things! Just GO - you'll feel better! Special snowflakes, I swear...


Barry called me unexpectedly at 11:55, but I had my phone on to wait for Dylan anyway. He said he was at my place after dropping someone else off, and thought of me and the old Panasonic inverter microwave recycling. No, I didn't want to come along, but I was grateful that he remembered and could do it right then.

From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: Adryenne Marshall?! BAD SPELLING! It should be ADRIENNE!




From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: LuCreitia Mingo?! BAD SPELLING! Lucretia spelled correctly is a pretty name, but I can't get past the proper pronunciation of "Loo-cree-sha"!
