I texted Tim to tell him "Buffista opinion is that you're fine to wait until Monday."

He replied: "I can store extra food in there!"

My reply: "Wow, that totally makes me want to make out with you," accompanied by emojis of disgust.

This reminds me that I need to schedule my six month dentist appointment. They sent me a reminder a month ago. I may as well call while I'm procrastinating on other stuff.

I don't wanna do more work today. I'm already planning on leaving early because I had to login and do some emergency work last night, and I'm meeting up with people at a sports bar this evening to watch hockey.

I might actually be done with work for the day, which would be cool, because I could go pick up our registration packets for tomorrow's 5K.

OH MY GOD I AM DOING A 5K TOMORROW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

And, uh, I just signed up last night for another 5K that's in 2 weeks. Because I'm apparently insane.

So my next 2 weeks is: 5K, [5 days], go to Vermont, come home, [3 days], go to Chicago, AVENGERS, come home, 5K.

Something is wrong with me.

Woo 5Ks!! And I know I'm too late to be useful, but I have also had a broken tooth just hanging around for a while! No pain = no problem.

Something is wrong with me.

Wrong like awesome, as Nathan Fillion would say. I'd do more 5Ks if I had people to walk with, but everyone I know runs them. Ptui.

My next 2 weeks is: hockey, new computer delivery, hockey, go to Virginia for 5 days, home for 3 days, see AVENGERS with Steph et al, go to Michigan for 3 days, come home, go to the Dentist.

There may be more hockey in there depending on how Round 1 goes.

No; they've been closed all week, including today. I suggested he call the endodontist who did his gum graft, just for an opinion, but Tim said "It doesn't hurt, and I'm keeping my tongue away from the sharp pieces." Okay then.

I'm surprised they don't have an answering service that can put you in touch with an emergency dental service. That is what we did last time TCG had a dental emergency on the weekend.

Good luck to Tim. Dental woes remind me that it's been 10 years since I've been to a dentist (I would say "how did that happen?" but I know exactly how it happened and I'm sure no one else cares). I should probably do something about that. Have insurance coverage and everything...

Woo 5Ks! I think I'm going to miss the Spring dog-friendly 5k because I think it is happening this weekend and I don't think I can pull myself together enough for that. Woes.

Yipes for the dental semi-emergency, Steph.

And ugh ugh and tons of sympathy, msbelle. I so feel for you. Much love and strength to both of you. Maybe some of his unstated stuff right now is clustered around his birthday?

We had an pretty ugly week here just because tempers have been flaring (mine as well as the kids) and tears have been shed, but the past couple days have been good, touch wood. Only problem is I've been unable to get work-work done, and a certain boy is turning 10 soon and he's been wound tighter than a spool.

Una, that made me happy!

Yay! I'm actually working right now with one of the STScI folks trying to get some fulldome video clips to work. He's being very generous helping me, because I know things must be crazy there right now! We're planning to show the livestream of the Air & Space Museum event, and I'm also building a "Hubble greatest hits" show. The outreach resources are great!!!

If you see Story Musgrave, tell him that the Columbia Basin College Planetarium is doing well! :-) (He was at our grand opening!)
