Too Late To Abort Now

Today is Tattoo Day. It’s hard to work because I’m thinking about it so much. The good news is that Boss-Lady seems to think it’s really cool that I’m doing it.

Laurie and Erica both said they’d go with me. I have more or less decided on the triquetra, or, at least something Irish; yes, I know - it’s The Day and I’m still debating what I want. I am absolutely certain this is typical; a good friend who is a mother told me that on the day she had her child, on the drive to the hospital she decided that she did not want children, that she did not like children and that, in fact, she was going to be a terrible mother. I can relate a tiny little bit to that today.

Mostly I’m just glad that I won’t have to be there all by myself, and that Laurie and Erica both have very, very sturdy grips.
