Accomplished: Biyi's parents are back with us. This time permanently (Australia's immigration policy willing). Ryan is pretty much thrilled to see them again, but still broke down in tears at the prospect of going for a walk with them without Mummy or Daddy.
Woot! Although, I suspect, the Romney people would point at your in-laws stance on Obama, and say that was a reason to vote for him, for policy that the Chinese likes is not good for America, or some such. I do find it funny that a wok was more important than a laptop. Hey, a well seasoned wok takes years to perfect!
I was feeling a bit better upon waking up. But I heard nasty car accident on the 5 just south of my work area, and I guessed my route, the 405, would be extra packed as a result. So I took a quick shower, and left a little earlier. I was right. It was about 1hr5min commute, instead of the 25 min no traffic amount. Well, at that hour it's closer to 45 min. But still. I guessed right, it was heavier. I arrive for the early dance meeting, only to learn, that I didn't need to be there. It's a design meeting, not a production meeting. But someone screwed up the exchange calendar and had me on the invite list. Grumble Grumble. Oh well. That just means I get to leave earlier today. So whatev. Still. Wouldn't have minded a longer shower.
Thank you...man, six weeks of this clusterfuck.
I went to the gym! I did not love the personal trainer, but it really doesn't matter because I can't afford to continue seeing her. I did get a good sense of what machines are available and how to use them, which was really the point. Now I just need to motivate myself to keep going back when I don't have an appointment.
I decided to treat myself to a latte after and was planning on reading a book at the cafe, but instead I ended up talking to the cafe worker and her boyfriend about Doctor Who and Firefly for an hour instead. Now I am at the library because I'm trying to cut down on tv time and if I go home, it will end up going on.
Lots and lots of ~ma, erika.
Good for you, sj!! And I love finding fannish folks in random places.
Today is warmer and not as breezy as yesterday, hallelu.
Sounds like a good day sj!
Saw my shrink today. We're going to try Abilify. He gave me the script and told me to drop it off and not to except to get filled until tomorrow or later. Seems he's expecting the insurance to balk and call for prior authorization. I'll start off on a small dose and increase each week and see what happens. If it doesn't work or the side effects are too much then he's going to try something that sounded like Sassafray, but that's not it.
I'm so psyched. I just found out there is a Gorey exhibit at the Portalnd Public Library through the end of December. I think it's the same one I missed in Boston earlier this year.
Err, ETA that's Portland ME if it wasn't obvious. Sorry if I raised any false hopes for any PNW folks.
Oh! Now I want to go back to Maine!

They were super sweet. I'll definitely go back and hang out with them again.

If it is the one that was at the Boston Anthaneum, you really should go see it. We may need to see it again, too.

I was about to get really excited. Whaaah!
