'Life of the Party'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Much better. How are you?
I just realized you may have missed the saga-- I had a abscessed tooth, and the infection moved into my face, so last Sunday, when I was staying at ita's, I woke up looking like a chipmunk. After almost a week of antibotics, the infection is mostly gone.
Nilly! I shamelessly x-post my baby pictures for you! [link]
Perkins, glad you're feeling better. Abcessed tooth...eesh. No fun.
Nilly, I have a new staff orientation on the 18th, a week of professional development from the 22nd through the 26th, and the first day of class is the 29th.
Oh, poor you!
Yes, I've completely missed the saga - I am so glad things are better by now, though. Did you manage to do anything of what you've wanted to do in LA, then, while you and your evil infection were there?
[Edit: the "poor you" was for Perkins, of course. Not for PMM with the pictures I'm right now going to look at, nor to Kristin - it seems like enough time to get setteld before you have to get to actually work, right?]

I even get to drive to Cupertino for a root canal in a couple of weeks.
It's like I won the lottery or something!
eta: Just about all of it, Nilly. I saw Kat, and gave her meat for her birthday, and then Aimee and MM and Emma, and then Kat and a bunch of people for dinner, then Burrell and her family for brunch, and a non-Buffista friend for the afternoon.

I knew there was a reason I never play the Powerball.
Probably cereal [Edit: apparently not], but PMM, oh, she's so adorable! Her hair is quite long, isn't it? And she just has these big thoughtful looking-at-everything eyes, and she's just so adorable! She soean't have a completely baby-face, her face looks wiser, somehow. As if she understands what's going on and then some. And you look lovely. Mommyhood suits you so well - I love the pictures in which you're holding her.
Perkins, I'm glad things went well, after all. At least it was nothing contagious, so you didn't have to worry about infecting anybody. Did LA seem different to you, now that you don't live there anymore?

Not really, though it was hot, and I had forgotten how annoying LA's lack of left turn lanes is.
eta: I'm heading to bed. Feel better Hil, try to sleep Plei and Kristin, and have a good rest of your day, Nilly.
I had forgotten how annoying LA's lack of left turn lanes is.
Does that mean there are no lanes for a left turn, you just have to take it from the lanes that are also for continuing straight ahead?
IIRC, the lights turn green for everybody, and then those who are supposed to turn left have to wait until they actually can make a turn and go into the intersection. It really confused me, because in Israel there are different schedules - with different lights - for the left turns and continuing straight, and when the light is green, you just turn, you don't have to check anything. It would be hard to remember to check before hitting the gas when the light is green.
And that was a whole paragraph about what confuses me, that probably has nothing to do with what you were actually describing. Oops.
[Edit: night, Perkins! Also, my post #, if we add the 3 and 3 together, is mathematically evil.]
hours later:
Hi Nilly!
and I really hope Hil is asleep.
