Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maria, that was all just complicated enough to lose me. So do you have any time in San Diego, or are you just doing your thing, then straight to LA?

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

Epic, flying in to SAN the night before. I get in around 8 pm. Meeting at 11 am, then drive to LA for meetings the next day.

Well then, I guess, wave as you pass the Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley exits? Or did you want to try to catch dinner (or lunch depending on the length of your meeting) in San Diego before you head north? Tricky timing, huh.

Maybe someone will knock on your door and tell you they buy old netbooks! (MAJOR bonus points if they drive up in Connie's hubby's car.)

Almost--my roommate said she wants it!!

Tomorrow my plan is: done boxes of books and electronic crap (I'm scared to get rid of the mystery cords--what if I need them??), buy new suitcase because mine broke, and...uh...pack for my trip?

Epic, we could do a late dinner if that works? My fear with lunch is that my meeting will go long, and the next thing I know I'm in LA rush hour hell.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have decided it's time for Zinfandel. That seems like a wintery wine that might have therapeutic effects.

That gets my "cellar" down to 12 bottles which, sadly, is still too much for my weak-assed winerack.

Roommate has been released from the hospital, so I'm gonna go ahead and agree to social outings on both Sat & Sun. If the Best Buy downtown accepts recycling, I can start getting rid of old electronics a few items at a time on my way to meet people for drinks and brunch.

I didn't need to say that three times. Thanks, phone.

Those are my initials. I can't access FB until I get home, but I'll make certain to check in as soon as I get there. Which is to say, yes, dinner would be lovely.
