Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't decide if it's awesome or tragic that my casino player's card was still in my suitcase from the last time I went to Vegas.

“Not dead yet!”
I have found two dresses from the company Mom used to work for, both of which she cut the patterns for.
I really love this one, but I'm not sure if the color would be too bland on me:
And this one is just total Alexis Carrington early 80s Dynasty. As Lewis said, "If there's such a thing as tastefully gaudy, that's it. And you would totally rock it." Which... I'm not sure, exactly, what that says about me. I will cop to loving the rhinestone design.
Of course, I need another formal like a need a hole in the head, but this is different since Mom worked on them.
Right?

UPS is requiring someone to be present for the delivery of my TV stand. It would have been nice to know that BEFORE the first delivery attempt, because then I would have taken my work laptop with me last night and worked from home today.

Know what else you can get for $12? Internet ON THE PLANE.
Which is somewhat soothing my pain over the fact that I'll be stranded in Salt Lake City overnight.

I wish you knew my friend in SLC, Dana -- she's even going to the airport in the morning!

I actually have relatives in SLC, but husband and I ended up there overnight in December, and I don't really want to impose on them again, even though I know they wouldn't mind.
I also don't really have the brainpower to deal with it right now. It'll be almost 10 by the time I land, and I will have been awake far too long.

Not going to even try to catch up anytime soon. I am tanned and fit (to my surprise) and the trip and the people on it did wonderful things for me.
Kathmandu is on paper everything I might hate: crazy, chaotic, filthy, no personal space, noisy, poverty is abysmal, and I LOVED IT. I waded in ankle deep filth carried by monsoon rains and liked it.
Bhutan was magical, and the eclipse...well, we fucking lucked out and got to see it. Weather held until the last day, and the country is incredible.
I am also exhausted having woken up every single morning between 5 and 5:30 local, regardless of whether I went to bed at midnight or 3 am. I did an insane impression of an extrovert, and even felt the energy rush of one the whole time.
And now I suspect I will collapse for a few days. And try not to kill the parents. I refrained remarkably well.
Having a trio of UK doctors and the organizer (also a UKer) to drink and trek with helped immeasurably. I miss them terribly already.
More as I get stuff online.
