ita, hope you get some relief.
I'm eating dinner now in hopes that the weather will clear enough to swim in an hour or two. It's iffy.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's a wedding, Teppy. There is a special form of Murphy's Law that applies.
Back when I was in college, the bride of a HS buddy of mine sprained her ankle at the altar between the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner, after everyone but she, the groom, and the officiating minister had left the church. No one thought to call the families before going to the ER, so we had a houseful of people at the groom's parents' getting hungrier and antsier as the clock ticked and nobody heard from them. At one point the groom's mother, one of the meekest, most polite people I've ever met snapped and screamed "WHERE'S THE DAMN PREACHER?!?" at the top of her lungs in front of the whole wedding party.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday P-C!
Hugs to all who want them.
My stress level is pretty good, though the weekly phone call from my folks doesn't help. (I am an adult, and have been so for many years. I do =not= need my dad to remind about things I know need doing. Sheesh.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I saw this gorgeous coat online on Nordstrom's. I clicked the image, pored over the pictures.
Then I looked at the price.
Wait for it.
$1400.
I screamed and closed that tab quickly.

Damnit, I think I'm going to have to concede defeat on swimming tonight. This storm is just not moving out fast enough.

Fine. I'm going to HomeDespot.

Would that be Cold Hollow Cider Mill? (Yes, as the picture caption says, we are dorks.) Those donuts are so good, I am willing to endure a gluten reaction for eating one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck with the hospital, ita.
Tep, I'm sorry it was such an ordeal, but I am super happy that you got the license! Honestly, now all you need is someone to sign it and a couple of witnesses and you are officially married. All the other stuff is window dressing. Don't get me wrong, pretty dresses and cupcakes and convivial relatives are good things, but if everything else goes to hell you will still get married. And that thrills me because I ship you and Tim so hard.
Fuckin' Webassign.

In Ohio, you don't actually need witnesses. The souvenir marriage license has 2 lines for witnesses to sign, but it's not the real license anyway.
Ohio is a little sketchy.
