Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks to all of you!

His heart is enlarged but there's no signs of disease. No blockages and no twisting. He's on a restricted diet, which he's not pleased about, and he's going to have a full work up with the family doc. I'm glad it wasn't more serious but I've really had enough excitement to last me a lifetime.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, Maria.

unless you consider places like Wadsworth, Texas; Oswego, N.Y.; or Baxley, Ga., exotic.

And I do! (Never having been to any of those....)

Jilli! You will be in Independence? That's Kansas City! What costuming con?

Figments and Filaments. This is the first year for it, but it looks like it will be fun, and they're giving me the full GoH treatment: airfair, hotel, and food!

I FOUND YOUR CORSET. I thought I sent it back to you yonks ago, and I found it in the closet 3 days ago, in the FedEx box that got sent back to me, and my DH just PUT IT IN THE HALL CLOSET and forgot.

Ahahahahah! That explains why I haven't been able to find it in any of the boxes. No worries about it not being back yet, I'm just glad to know my house didn't eat it.

DO you need a ride from the airport or anything?

Nope, but thank you for asking! The con is giving me a minion, and they are collecting me at the airport.

Fancy fancy, Jilli! You are a GoH indeed.

Also, do they realize the implications of giving you your own minion?

Wow, that's fun, Jilli!

The weather here is nuts -- we've had several bursts of rain, hail, sun so far today. My colleague sort of abandoned me, but I'm sitting in the conference room where other people are having (professionally) interesting conversations, some of which are in English! So I guess I'm learning stuff? This whole trip was ridiculous. But I think still worth it, for the parts that will be later this afternoon and tomorrow.....
