Best wishes to your mom, Laura, and of course continued good vibes for Hubby, Connie.

Jilli, I will cross my fingers for good news!

I am officially en route to Ireland. Sitting at my gate at LAX. Leg one to Chicago...then a six hour layover before catching my flight into Dublin. I arrive in Dublin around 8am Tuesday, their time, and ND's lovely extended family will be there to drive me up to Belfast. He will arrive on the same flight the next day (one drawback to award travel--only one ticket available per day to Ireland, apparently). I've been to England, but I've never been to Ireland or Northern Ireland. I'm excited to explore! Also to spend time with the family, who we adore.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, I hope this stay goes faster than anticipated. Maybe send him a quick text to say you are on your way home and will give him a call when you get there. He would enjoy the anticipation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Laura!

Have fun, Pix and ND!

Yay for fun times in Ireland! I am looking forward to hearing the tales and seeing the happiness filled pictures.

Have a lovely trip, Pix and ND.

Have a great trip, Pix! I still have very fond memories of my trip to Ireland.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ireland. One day.

I am in grump and pain. My neck pain is radiating all the way to my hands and now into my face. When the left is bad enough to cry, I don't usually notice the right. Not this time. I could barely sleep because no position doesn't hurt, and/so my head hurts really badly despite just having had meds this weekend.

I can't tolerate the neck pain like the migraine pain, because it's not like I can lie down somewhere quiet or anything--that makes it worse. So I've just been dripping tears since I got up at 5 and trying to convince myself taking all my pain pills is not the solution, not is jamming a knife into my thigh.

But you can't imagine how attractive both options seem. I have already scraped flesh off my face, Brief perk. But I need to pass the time until I can call my pain doctor somehow..

I hope your mother feels better soon, Laura, and that the jobma stays in full effect for you, Jilli.
