CUTIEHEAD VISITOR

Thank you for being a friend, Rue: [link]

Yay cutiehead!
 
I did not know the Fillion was at the 500! I could have been at the 500 with him! And ok, half a million other people but still!
 
In a surprise to no one, my favorite TK photo is one with him and all his hockey gear.
 
So! I am vertical today. In an attempt to return to reality. I do not know how it`s going to go, though, because by 5 I am usually a sodden coughing mess, and rehearsal does not start until 7:30. But this Sat. is the memorial service for our sound man`s wife, who died unexpectedly. And he falls in the category of cranky old dudes who inexplicably like me, so I really feel like I need to go. But it`ll be a hell of a day, so we`ll just have to play it by ear.

Aw, puppy! What a cutie, brenda. I hope the visit goes well.

Sad about Rue, though. Not fair that so many of these folks are leaving us while relatively young. 76 is not old, or it shouldn't be, dagnabit.

No shit.

Man, I'm exhausted today. Meetings are already difficult.

eta: Vote for the best year in sci fi

Just got a call from Mom, who is at the state meeting for her garden club. Last summer, she became president of her local chapter by default (no one else wanted it, and she had been the treasurer up to then), but once she got the post, she decided to run with it. When I visited her last July, she had me edit her first draft of the chapter's yearbook. In previous years, her chapter had always done very well at the state level with it (usually getting first prize for Best Yearbook), so she wanted me to double-check.

Well, they just won first prize for Best Yearbook at this year's state meeting, and when they awarded the silver cup to her, they also announced that they had submitted her yearbook to the national level, and she had won first prize there, too!!!

Yay, Mom!!!

Yay your mom, Kathy!

Aw. I hope you're up to it.

I'm surprised Rue McClanahan was only 76.

Seriously.

Go, Mom!!!

Is Darby a visitor or potentially a stayer? 'Cause I vote stayer.

That's really cool for your mother, Kathy.

The nearby cafe didn't have any baked goods, so I'm having fruit for breakfast. What the hell? And it's not even good fruit. It's overpriced slightly sweet water wrapped in cellulose--melon and watermelon. Washed down with Monster energy drink, because if I don't artificially kickstart today, something not great is going to happen.

I used to be so dosed up on meds that I could sleep anywhere anytime, after multiple shots of Red Bull and espresso. I miss those days.
