“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. And I’ve read most of Bill’s books so that’s saying something.”
“Ha! Burn!” Richie snorted, pausing his swaying with baby Georgie to peek at Eddie over his tiny shoulder. “What book?”
“‘The Going to Bed Book’,” he told him, making an adorable little scrunchy face. “These animals are on like, a boat? For some reason? Maybe it’s a Noah’s Ark thing or something? But there’s only one of each? I don’t fucking know. That would be weird for Stan and Patty to have, so probably not. But they all take a bath together, which is fucking weird enough, and then! Then! Riiight before they go to bed? They exercise!? Like, they just got clean and put on pajamas and they’re jumping rope and shit! And then they’re expected to fall asleep? That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard! It’s scientifically proven that exercise actually wakes you up!”
Richie tried, heroically, to hold in his laughter; they were meant to be calm and relaxed, to help Georgie fall asleep, but Eddie’s spirited rant was just about the opposite, and he didn’t want to add to it by being too loud himself.
“Oh my god, Eds,” he snorted, knowing his shoulders were shaking with his muted laughter, as Georgie wiggled a little in his arms. “You are fucking adorable, man.”
Eddie blinked up at him, eyes wide in surprise.
It was out of his mouth before he could stop it.
“Shit.”

and when you go (like summer gives to the rain) by Sweetlittlevampire
and when you go (like summer gives to the rain)
by Sweetlittlevampire
T, 19k, Wangxian
Summary: For Lan Wangji, loving or being loved inevitably leads to grieving. He's seen it happen countless times.
When he's hit by a car and put into an induced coma for a few days, his mind wanders, and he gets the opportunity to revisit different periods of his life, and starts to reconsider his view on things.
In his coma, he hears the voice of the boy he once loved but thought he'd lost - though that might have been just a dream. Or was it?
Wei Wuxian volunteers at the hospital to reduce anxiety in child patients. One day, he meets a boy who's crying for his father. His day gets even weirder when Wei Wuxian meets the boy's uncle, who asks him for a special favour.
Kay's comments: Ah, I'm having a craving for hospital hurt/comfort stories recently and this one really scratched the itch! Featuring hospital volunteer Wei Wuxian and comatose Lan Wangji, who were teenage sweethearts until Wei Wuxian had to leave because of ~reasons~. Despite the premise of Lan Wangji being in a coma for 2 out of 3 chapters, this story is absolutely sweet and wonderful! There's also some Lan brothers feels in this and just Lan family feels in general!
Excerpt: “Do you know what my job here at the hospital is?” Xian-gege asks him. Sizhui shakes his head.
“Well, if children are here, that’s because either they need to see a doctor, or they’re visiting someone,” Xian-gege says. “And hospitals can be scary, with how big they are, and how many people are here. So I am here to look after the children in the waiting rooms. I tell them stories or play with them, so they’re less scared. Would you like me to stay with you for a bit?”
Sizhui gives it some thought. In the end, he nods. Xian-gege seems nice, and he thinks it’s better than to wait alone.
“I have a book Baba often reads to me,” he tells Xian-gege in a quiet voice. “It’s also about a bunny.”
Xian-gege smiles again. “Does your baba like bunnies? When I was younger, I used to have a friend who also really liked them. Would you like me to read to you from that book?”

The thing has remote start, heated seats, individual "climate zones" etc. All it really needs to be "modern" is bluetooth and a backup cam. Which may be worth adding aftermarket at some point. 40k miles, looks feels and smells brand new, old proven reliable powertrain, smooth ride, decent amount of power.... meanwhile I'm driving a SHIT focus....
