Got it, just texted you.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I just remembered my texting isn't working today, but Facebook messenger gets through.

Slight comedy of errors where I first went to the nearby UCSD Medical, but Suzi was at a different one. Eventually found her and we went to a ramen place for dinner, so all's well that ended well!

Epic, once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I see my wonderful doc on Friday to start unraveling these stupid symptoms.

Suzi, you are very welcome! It wasn't the way we intended the day to go, but it worked out fine. And now we have an amusing story. Good luck at the doc, I'm glad you're able to get in so soon. Fingers crossed for an easy fix!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have a question, but first, backstory: the three of us (M, Peanut, and I) are travelling to Waterloo, Ontario next month. It's a 5+ hour flight and Waterloo is an almost two-hour drive from the Toronto airport. Also, this will be Peanut's first time on a plane. She's been a champ on road trips, but we have no idea how she'll react to being cooped up in a tiny metal tube. Also, we're travelling during the day, so probably no sleeping from her.
Question for those who travel to & from Canada a lot: is it worth it to get Global Entry through TSA? I know there's a Canada-only program, but there's apparently no interview stations for that in California, and I would absolutely be willing to pay the extra $150 if it meant that all three of us could just breeze through Customs both ways. We're all travelling on U.S. passports, so at we have that at least.
Also, if any parents have any suggestions on keeping Peanut entertained, I will happily take them. I'm loading up the tablet designated as hers with movies & shows & games, and my hope is that she doesn't get to play with the tablet often, she'll be happy with that for most of the flight.

One thing I noticed when I was flying (without a child of my own) was a mother allowing her daughter to run and jump while they waited for boarding. On boarding, the girl sat down and fell asleep ... for almost the entire flight. It might help.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I love global entry. It makes into the US customs painless, and comes with TSA pre-check, which is as close to going through security while still managing to feel like a person as we have available.
Downside is that everyone in the group, including kids, has to have it
