poor boo. seasick is no fun.

You guys, threadsucking and reading your congratulations was the only thing that could really distract me from constant listening to the news and worrying about all the family and friends who are in the line of fire right now. Thank you.

Have good short Fridays, and lovely weekeds, y'all!

Nilly, I hope you and yours are safe, and things get better.

Congratulations, Nilly! I hope that we get peaceful news from your part of the world very soon. Stay safe.

I will take a little house~ma. We own two at the moment, but our buyers moved up the date of closing to Nov. 30, so it won't be much longer. I probably need moving~ma more than house~ma at this point, since very few questions put my marriage to the test quite like, "Can I throw this out?"

lisah, I absolutely do not believe your new puppy is cute. Nope, not even a little bit. You'll have to provide photographic proof.

Good luck, Sparky!

And one of my two deadlines for today got cancelled, and I am still off the hook for the event my department is working on. In short, I expect to have a good day.

FRIDAY.

Aaaand post-tour melancholy commenced about an hour ago. All these new people I said goodbye to and our inside jokes and almost all I'll never see or hear from again!

Ah well, it is what it is. One more day in Cairns, then the hell flights. May e I'll get lucky again?

sarameg - I've so enjoyed your Australia reports.

Nilly and Shir - wishing safety to you and your's.

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. Nothing like coming to the b.org on your birthday. Totally mood lifting. In fact, I think that if you are down, you should do the search on Natter for your birthday just to see all the good wishes.

Also: a mysterious work b-day benefactor left me a Lindt Excellence Intense Orange dark chocolate bar in my mailbox. Yum!

Wow, Romney really doesn't get it, does he? [link]

Every time Romney opens his mouth - he makes me even happier that Obama won.
