"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

@hummingrain I'm doing pretty good--got enough sleep last night, looking forward to a day of hopefully mostly just relaxing because I need it. :]
