Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

We had no pie today. Am sad.

We're at the cabin in yosemite. It has no cell service (no surprise) but it was wifi so yay!

Also, the cabin is gigantic. Three bedrooms/2 baths (8 beds total). For our little family of four, it feels too much. But given that we will pay $80 for being here the whole weekend, it's hard to complain.

I had pie. Too much sugar made me feel icky. So icky I skipped dinner. And I don't miss it.

I think you guys need to do a lot of Yosemite cabin weekends! Betting on everyone ending up in the same room.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I cannot recommend Wal-Mart's sugar-free pie as a solution. It was disappointing.

Note: I was at Walmart looking for particular flavors/colors of Koolaid, after having failed to find them elsewhere.

We area all in the same room! We've closed the doors to the other rooms to stop confusing us.

Unless shrift wants to take a last-minute trip to Texas.

I would much rather come visit you than do what I'm planning to do this weekend, which is doing my taxes and catching up on work stuff.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

No pie here, the line was too long at Blaze Pizza so we went with the noodle shop instead.

Today was a hell day (well minor hell - people on this board going through a lot worse). Today was one of my regularly scheduled injections in my eye. And shortly before my ride was scheduled to show I managed to do something my hip while tying my shoe. Agony to walk and to sit. Since the injections are important to saving my sight, I was not about to skip them. So painful 45 minute ride to doctors office. Followed by having to sit and ignore the pain while doctor put a needle in my eye. Flinching would have been disasterous. So I got home about 3PM. Was finally able to do some stretching exercise and walking which seem to have helped a lot. Can now sit again, though still get the occasional sharp pain. Will call the doctor Monday to find out how to figure out what is going on. But very unfun day.

OK, Typo, "injections in my eye" sounds like a big fucking deal no matter how you spin it."Otherwise painful injections in my eye": gets the big sympathy, no questions asked. That sounds like a very difficult day.

ISTG going out for drinks with work people is fucking weird no matter how you slice it. At least the girl that is leaving has my number now? And I could walk home from the bar, which might not have happened...fuckin' A, what a scene. But now I am home. And the animals are fed and inside. So, Friday, accomplished? IDEK.

I am doing that thing where I close one eye to deal with the world and I think DirecTV is getting the better of me.
