Right. This is like blogging, isn't it. Just spilling out words onto a tablet and wondering what the Hell is going on. Where am I. Where is my wife! Where is LONDON for fuck's sake. What is wrong with the money here? Where's Sherlock?

And where is there a lavatory because I really need to piss.

	You're in Portland. Your wife is where you left her and London is overseas. There's nothing wrong with the money here and I don't know who the hell Sherlock is. If you see a bush, aim and fire. Welcome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	His wife is actually right here and beyond relieved at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps if you think of him often he will come. The power of positive thinking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My biggest fear was that our daughter wouldn't ever get to see him or know of him. So every night, I would tell her about him. It made it easy to think of him that way. Talking about your brother might help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Last night we went to bed, and everything was normal. The neighbors were having a row and you were cranky, and then I woke up in some... hospital? What happend? How long have we been apart? Is the baby ok? Is she alright? God. Where are you? Where can I find you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Take a breath, John. I'm sure your fingers are giving off steam from how fast you're typing. Last night for you, we did go to bed, and I likely was cranky, and the neighbors were more than likely having a row, because that is what they tend to do on nights when I'm cranky. But for me, I went to bed alone here. I've been here since the first of April, John. Time runs differently here than it does in our world. Something about inter dimensional travel that I have yet to unravel fully.

The baby is okay. She's just fine. Ready to run out at any moment. My address is 807 NE Prescott St, though I'm at work at the moment in the hospital. Stay where you are. I'll come to you. And for heaven's sake, don't panic. I'll explain it all to you when I see you.

	Okay. Breathe. I can do that. I am going to find something to eat. And something to wear. I'm... wearing pyjamas, like some sort of Arthur Dent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	john_hwatson 2014-05-22 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	I'll be fine. At least Mary's here. She's okay. I think I just really need to get something to eat, see my wife, and then figure out how to get home before the baby is born. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll make do. It just seems... odd. I'll have to look at every note to see what it's worth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Firm upper lips and spots of tea. So boring, until you look past the white picket fences and see what happens underneath. You do more than make do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've had quite a bit excitement in my life the past... oh.. fifteen or twenty years. I was actually looking forward to a boring life with my wife and daughter and my lunatic best friend. But instead I find myself misplaced in the universe, apparently, in some sort of American town. I have no idea what this means or what's going to happen, or what this will do to my daughter's status as a British citizen. So if I want to muddle through and make do, then that, my friend, is EXACTLY what I will do.

	You hold this American town in such contempt. What's the big beeswax about citizenship? I never looked up the laws, but I figure British + British = British. You could go for a two for one special, British American. You're wired so tight, don't burst, friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

My husband makes a valid point. This is a supernatural occurrence that is beyond our control. We are not even allowed to leave, not even allowed to make fundamental decisions about the future of our child. Should we wish to send our daughter to a fine British school, we will not be able to. Should we wish to expose her to British culture, we will not be able to. I, more than most, understand the need for sacrifice when circumstances are beyond our control and that things rarely turn out the way you plan. However, I feel as though we should at least be given an explanation for what is happening. Pride may be a sin, but if it is a sin to be proud of Great Britain, then take us to the gallows.

	Yawn. So negative. If you cannot raise her British enough, that's your problem, queenie. You have more than most the world's girls' get and more choices. But please, the gallows are so boring and so final. And who hangs pregnant women? I should have a talk with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And criticizing a person's personality is not negativity? It is true we have more choices and more opportunities than most, which is something I am grateful for. However, should we be content with it? Should we not fight for more? Isn't life about elevating oneself to be better? About striving for greatness? Or is boring and easy the way to go these days? And while I appreciate your opinions on the matter, you are indeed correct, sir. This is my problem. Mine and my husband's.

Not yours. Do have a blessed day.

	When they're flashing it in public, that's commentary. Life is about living. Which means curveballs and all. I don't think ol' god is listening. But thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clevermary 2014-05-23 12:02 am UTC (link)
	I find it comforting to know we all have the right to be negative, even if it is in commentary. There are no curveballs in life, only in baseball. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
