Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Anniversary and GO Emmett and Team!

I'm all moved in. Well except for the cat. So almost moved in. ANd we left the tools at home. Opps.

Mom is convinced that the desk will go through what will be my office.

I have a two bedroom apartment! Whoot! I'm taking pictures, I tried to steal wireless but it was all security enabled but my cable works so I'm plugged in right now.

Did find where the previous tenant drilled a hole from the living room to the office room to run the cable. Oh and he left a cat carrier (among other things but we just noticed the cat carrier). I'll clean it up and yay! cat carrier!

Which I needed.

Now to find my dishes and unpack them and run them to my in my new dishwasher.

um, my apartment likes carrots.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

What kind of dessert thing goes with red wine?

Anything chocolate. Mmmmmmm.

I have given up and skipped to the end. Any major life changes not reported in Beep Me I should know about?

My flight to Miami has been canceled. The plane is out of service. They are trying to find another plane but have no idea when that will happen the other flight to Miami today is almost completely sold out. I wouldn't be so stressed if I weren't trying to catch a cruise tomorrow. This is the one Drew is working that I'm tagging along on for free. Thing is, it leaves tomorrow with or without me. And I checked a bag, so even if I get there, my bag may not. I could just cry right now. I was so looking forward to a break from this summer and for having some time together when we're both not completely stressed, even if Drew is working. He's on another flight, so at least he'll get there. I could use some travel-ma.

ETA: I misspoke. The flight is not canceled by delayed indefinitely. Please, please let them find another plane. If they don't, the first flight is tomorrow morning at 7:45. I don't know if that would give me enough time.

Oh no, Kristin!

"Delayed indefinitely" fills me with images of lemon-soaked towelettes.

I'd say start making a nuisance of yourself right now and demanding that they put you on another plane on another airline if necessary, plus cash for the lost bag. They don't need to know the cruise was free.

Okay, so the update is...mostly, kind of...hopeful. We've been delayed until a new 777 arrives from London. Our new departure time is 5:30 (6 hours after the scheduled departure time), which puts me into Miami around 2:30am Eastern time. Not ideal, but I've found the all-important electric outlet to charge phone and computer and have bought a day-pass for the T-mobile hotspot. I'm going to do a little work in my online classroom and then am going to spoil myself with Doctor Who. How glad am I that I still have 10 eps left on iTunes? SO glad. I'm also going to buy the new Stargate movie on iTunes. Plenty of time to download it, and it will give me a couple hours more entertainment for this very long day.

So long as this flight actually does leave at 5:30, I'm going to be okay. Continued travel~ma requested.

This may actually replace "fuck me gently with a chain-saw" as my favorite expression of exasperation.

I hope the travel gods smile on you, Kristin. Flying was always an endurance test, but it seems so much worse now.

My intestines just took a really unfortunate turn. Don't feel good. Make it go away.
