Gronk, gronk, and gronk again.
The longest week in the world is over. Somehow we crammed a whole week's worth of stress, negativity, and stone-throwing (plus about nine days' actual work) into three days. In the middle of them, I went up to Milwaukee to drink way too much and go see a midnight showing of Pirates. Then back to Chicago by 8:30 this morning. After work - minion's dad had a gallery opening, so I couldn't miss that.
Finally home. Dog is home, contentedly chewing on one of her stuffed animals. I'm trying to gather the energy to crawl into the bedroom and collapse.
'Night all.
I have skipped, but this much I know:
Congratulations, Jen!

Me, too! Sparky, you ain't in KC, is ya?
I am in KC-ish at the moment (shuttling between Overland Park and Blue Springs) visiting my DH's family. I wish I was at liberty to do Buffista visiting, but since we're only here for a couple of days, we really needed to spend it with the family. Believe me, I really wish I'd planned better when we found ourselves walking around The Plaza and I kept thinking that you lived somewhere near there, Erin.
We are in Sacramento. Well, Roseville, actually. It is 90 outside - at 9pm. Tomorrow is gonna be H-O-T!!!
DH and K-Bug walked across the street to get some sushi. I shouldn't be nervous about him saying something wrong to her, should I?
Stooopid hotel does not have wi-fi. I don't like being tethered, darn it.
Has anyone heard from Teppy since she went to the hospital to see her grandfather?
I love Cindy. Love love love.
Anyway. I didn't go to the hospital, at my mom's urging. She said that Grandpa was very agitated, which is getting expressed physically -- he flails and pulls out his iv tubes and tries to get out of bed, etc. She said that it's probably better if I wait until he's more settled.
I live right on the Plaza, Sparky. If you visited Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters, you were 1/2 a block from my apartment!
Ah, well.
Sparky should go see Erin. Everybody should see Erin when they get the opportunity.
Nurse Jen, R.N. Sweet!
Jars + Fay = Superfantastic.
Poor Fay in the hometown which inspires such lust for the local accent when she's away but inspires such revulsion at bad hair choices when present.
Robin, root canal isn't so bad anymore. I mean, even when I had it back in high school it wasn't horrible. It wasn't
great,
but it was okay.
I spent my formative years being ostracised for not being appropriately working class, or at best looked upon as a strange, incomprehensible species of alien creature I just feel every bit as much a stranger in a strange land [in my hometown] as I ever did in [foriegn city]. Which is, of course, why I'm so happy to bugger off around the world - I'm used to not belonging.
Wrod wrod wrod with a side of wrod and a nice garnish of chopped wrod.

Seconded. The worst thing about mine was just having my jaw open for so long. Otherwise it was no big deal.

Thirded, exactly this.
Happy Saturday! I am awake because I drove my friend staying with us to the T. Maybe I'll go back and doze for a while.
