Timelies all!

I got my flu shot today. I can't remember the last time I got one. My arm is sore now.

Ice cream made with wine I am down with. Ice cream in a dish with wine in a glass, nsm. I don't know what that's about.

And they are out of stock. Blast! I did put my e-mail in to be notified when they are back in stock.

Went to a wedding last night. One of the dojo "kids" I met when we moved here 6 years ago is now 21 and has tied the knot. It was the first wedding I've been to in a while and it was very lovely. There were a few of us ladies from the dojo and we all sat and cried together.

It 8:30 and though I has a 2 hr break at the pool, I just finished working. I left when things stalled out , got back from pool to a work laptop imitating a brick. Spent 45 minutes on that and called on for the last 15 ,invites oh a 2 hr conference/troubleshooting call.

So done. Maybe can eat dinner now....

Fuck autocomplete.

So nice to be on a real keyboard again for the first time in weeks. Love my iPad but don't love typing on it (but adding a keyboard seems to make it take up as much space/weigh as much as a laptop, in my brain).

I took an hour nap, but am still fighting to stay awake for another hour or three. I'm hungry but don't want to put real clothes on and walk to the store. Also, my roommate seems to have entirely filled the fridge and freezer, so there is nowhere to put anything. And if some of it is mine, I haven't been home in two and a half weeks and don't remember!

Meara, how long were you gone? It seemed like your trip was awesomely extensive.

And now something broke that was working earlier. I can't.

I left the Saturday of Labor Day weekend (and got to Prague Sunday night, so didn't actually DO anything until Labor Day) and got back today (though I pretty much stopped all touristing on Sunday--took a train from Krakow to Warsaw, passed out in my hotel for 12 hours, got coffee, went to the airport and flew home for two days). It was pretty awesome! Other than the sad but expected confirmation that my brother is in fact a racist jackass. (He lives in the Czech Republic, so I was vaguely visiting him)

Question in re: racist jackass relative: so, he is very aware that my sister and I strongly strongly disagree with him on....just about everything. And after a bunch of the stuff he said (even WHILE we were really really trying not to get into it!) I would totally be peacing out on his ass. Except I worry that he will have children. And then if I had totally cut ties (or even just seriously told his ass off), I wouldn't be able to properly influence them. On the other hand, these are still hypothetical future children (who he and I were discussing when some of his most jackassery was put in words). Thoughts?

Ever wonder why women are often unhappy in classic paintings?
