There was a terrible accident in IndyCar at Las Vegas. Fifteen cars. One tarped.
Usually I just hope beyond hope that everyone is okay. This time I am just hoping the driver is alive.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You guys really aren't talking much. What's up?
I HAD NO LAPTOP. Picked up my work one.
Took personal laptop in to the genius bar. It was insane busy. But they got to me. The bad news is that it'll be 3-5 days. But the good news is that it'll be free. As in zip, zero, nada. It's a known thing with the NVIDIA graphics card, and they eat the cost on those. 3-5 days is not bad news in this context.
Got my swim in, and it was good. Finishing laundry. Gonna give myself a manicure (pedicure didn't happen, the place is now closed on Sundays.)
Yeah, and maybe I should eat something today.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I can't Swinton my way between visual genders
I really, really approve of Swinton as a verb. Although, for accuracy, it should be SWINTON.
I think Tim identifies as genderqueer (I should really ask him, huh?), and I, without fail, regardless of how he's dressed/presenting/identifying, always, ALWAYS refer to him as Tim (rather than the name he uses when he's crossdressed). And I feel like an asshole for doing that, but he doesn't ever make any deal out of it. But to me, he's just Tim. Not as in Tim, My Male-Gender-Specific Boyfriend. As in...just the human being who I love. To me, I guess, "Tim" doesn't necessarily equal male.
Hmm. Will have to talk to him about that.

Football injury update: The Saints have managed to hurt their own coach, who will be calling the second half of the game from the press box.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a relief, sara. Good to hear.
Why is the Miami airport so parsimonious with power outlets? We're herded towards the branded ones. And I have two devices, so I'm eating half. I really should get a power strip. Must look into tiny ones.
And I feel I need to get up. Get something to drink, get closer to my gate. I will never see electricity again. Well, guys. It was nice knowing you! Farewell!

I did about 15 minutes of work. Now I am irritated and going back to football and Twitter.

I took a nice long nap, is why I wasn't here....

Nap. Hmmph. My mother and I have been battling insomnia, and my father and sister have been falling asleep where they stand. It's pretty sad. I had to send my father back to bed yesterday morning. I don't know where he was planning to go at seven.
I have shredded beef, white rice, plantain, and two guilt-free power outlets. I do love the food in the Miami airport. It might be my favourite airport food in the US.

You are possibly damning with faint praise.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am sore from pulling weeds for hours yesterday. Today I had to speak in front of many small groups at church, then sorta scold an elderly volunteer, and finally deal with a crying mac. All worked out though and now I'm ass-sitting, knitting, and watching football.
GO RANGERS!
That's because I wasn't on last night.
I need to apply for some jobs today and also get some listings up online for this craft fair thing I am organizing. don't really want to do either. Maybe I will call some potential vendors instead and try to get some more booths filled (currently only about half full) since the event is in 3.5 weeks.
