Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Nora, thank goodness things turned out to be okay, because your description of the incident was nightmarish.

Yeah. It was totally like a nightmare, with that slow motion thing going and everything? But. Tonight was OK, and Tom and I were very social. Tom was very surprised at his sociability and I talked to an academic who wants to read my research paper and, like, distribute it to her students and stuff. She hasn't even read it. Could be a load if shite for all she knows. I guess networking pays. (or it won't pan out, that's fine too)

Hey Pete! You're going to meet the other recalcitrant British dude (my husband) at the F2F! He's lost his curmudgeonly edge though. Though, maybe, just with me?

Happy Birthday, ND!!!

Today was good. We had a great meal with my family, went to see the nephews and then dragged Tal back to Mom's place so that we could spend some time with her. When we got home we loaded our cars with stuff to move tomorrow. So tired.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Fuck. How distracted am I? I totally forgot to say how scary that sounded, Nora. But I'm glad that it sounds like (from what I read upthread) that they're injuries that didn't force folks into the hospital. I hope?

Happy Birthday, ND!

I am stuffed. And slightly tiddly. Spent a couple of very pleasant hours with teh daughter's BF's parents watching TV and mocking hairstyles, ate much yummy ham and potatoes, and Key Lime Pie!! Oh, yeah. Also, three glasses of Prosecco. I'm stuffed, but I think I said that already. Yeah.

Came home and dug out the receipt for my property taxes. I might get around to filling them out my tax forms tomorrow. Um. Otherwise, I can file an extension online.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And you know what snuggling leads to...

Sweetie, we did get a king-sized bed, right?

bounces gleefully

Blimey. Did it just get hot in here?

Maaaaan! If it weren't that I'll be hanging out with over a hundred hot drag kings that weekend, I'd be super super jealous.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Take it from someone who slept on a twin-sized bed since ever. Having a king-sized bed since just a month or so after Andi moved in? Priceless.

Never going back, even if the sheets/bedspreads/etc. for King sized do cost a small fortune.

On a random note, cutie picture of me and SA on our way to the drag show, a couple weeks ago!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's an adorable pic.
