At the F2F I leaned back at one point and found a nice comfy human back to lean against (this was before becoming comfortably numb). As I relaxed, my brain played through the people I knew to be behind me - Pete chief among them. It was then that I realize who I was leaning on and I think I jumped a mile. Not quite a looming, but startling nonetheless.

Yup, you jumped a mile. You were actually leaniing against my shoulder, and I was busy taking photos (who knew?™) and didn't notice you until you said "Am I leaning on Pete?".

P.S. Loom

((((Beej))))

My brother caught mono when he was in high school. Lots of rest.

Get a few good no-brain-required novels and sleep the weekend away. Which isn't the best way to spend a holiday weekend but also isn't the worst.

Ridiculous amounts of ~ma for Beej.

I think my reaction would be the same, Suzi. Though he is adorable .

raises hands, waves half-heartedly at Aimee

eta: Loom! Ack!

OMG! My pre-calc class starts next Tuesday!

No more sitting at home on my ass all day.

Much recovery~ma to Beej. I had mono in my early 20s—yuck.

One of my coworkers also got it at age 57. I don't think it has an upper age limit.

Well no wonder it wasn't going away. Hope the magic medicine works {{Beej}}.

I have no advice for P-C. That whole when to talk about stuff and when to just enjoy the smooches, I was never any good at that. So, um, good luck.

My mother-in-law is here. She likes our house. She asked where her grandbabies are. I did not hit her. I think I deserve an ice cream cone. Later, when there is ice cream at my disposal.

-t, does she know about your miscarriages? I only ask, because I can feel my arm stretching out to hit her, all the way over here.

She asked where her grandbabies are.

proceeds to whack MiL about the head and shoulders with a few strategic whacks to the bum.

That has got to be the rudest, most insensitive thing ... I just ...

whacks more

Oh, -t. That's just awful. {{{-t}}}

By decree of the Empress...

Everyone pile on -t's MiL and beat her soundly.
