Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

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

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I tempted fate by complaining that I had to wake up early tomorrow. I'm currently waiting for the airline to call me back. Fingers crossed for an easy rebooking!

Crossing fingers for travel~ma for all (including myself on the way back home, but I now made tentative plans in case I'm stranded in Germany without flights back to Israel).

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

Just as a warning for those hanging out in SF on Sunday: it's Bay to Breakers, which is a wild 12K race that essentially cuts the city in half. Here's the route David's old neighborhood gets hit particularly hard.

Let me post that in Announcements because it will affect everybody's getaway plans to the airport on Sunday.

Thanks for the heads up!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Sunday? I read that as Saturday and panicked. Oh well, got me to expand my hotel reservation to include Friday so I'll be around after work tomorrow.

for those of you who want to follow at home

Thank you for that. It doesn't reduce my envy, but I enjoy the sense of connection it gives me.

I'll mention again, in case anyone else wants to explore them, the tools I like for flight details and flight following are www.flightaware.com and www.flightradar24.com

Fuck me. In between wrangling getting the flight rebooked (which I did do), I've been throwing up, like 4 times. (I had some other gastrointestinal ick start yesterday, but I assumed it was IBS.) I also have a fever. God damn it. It feels like it would be really irresponsible to get on a plane. I can't stop crying. (Or barfing.)
