Today took an abrubt left turn right into the crapper, won't bore you with details, but I tangled with the Teen Queen in full melt-down in the back of the grandparents' minivan. Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide...
Anywhoo, been melting into some Tramadol and some sort of muscle relaxer I found in the cabinet. Wirecutter will tell you, I'm a tenderfoot and Tylenol knocks me out. But so far, one black eye, cut bridge of nose, assorted scratches and bruises and generally sore pulled muscles. But I got her calmed down, and when she "returned", she was very sorry.
But sitting here, nursing my wounds and enjoying my buzz, I indulged in a bowl of cherries, because you know, that's what life is. And son of a gun, I've still got it. This first one took about 10 minutes and I mangled the son of a bitch....
But THIS ONE, this is perfection. Under a minute, clean and pretty. Damn girl, old and tired and beat up, but my tongue is as limber as a Romanian gymnast.
