msbelle and Dana, that's horrible news, from both of you! I'm so sorry about your friend, msbelle, what a terrible disease.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am so sorry msbelle, what awful news. My heart goes out to your friend.
That sounds like a lovely tribute, Connie. I hope it goes well, and yes, morning seems best given my experience of Orem in August.
Kat, my memory of St. George is that coffee is quite available, so even with Pioneer Day you should be able to caffeinate before you go.

Geez dcp, hope it works out and you can go home soon, that sounds like quite a pain!!
I made it to Chicago and am now in a super fancy hotel suite. Work to do tomorrow (am v pissy that I'm having to cancel my vacation day, even if work is paying for the flight but not hotel) and eventually my sister will be here tomorrow. Yay!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
dcp, I'm glad you got out of the building safely. Is there anyone you could crash with tonight? You're at the mercy of the gas company now.
Are you downtown, meara?

Yep. Not sure where the heck I'm going tomorrow but it's not until afternoon so I plan to sleep in and figure it out later.
I seem to have really jacked up my back. I have these tingling numbing cold-feeling bits of my butt and legs all day on one side, and the other side I did something weird to my hip and can't seem to fix a weird pain when I move certain ways. I suspect I need a massage and a chiropractor. Also, I am getting old.

I'll be at the Goodman by 11. Let me know if you want to get coffee or lunch or something.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Finally got the all-clear. Whew.
Unspecified problem with the building's water heater. No hot shower for me tomorrow morning. That, plus lack of sleep tonight, is going to make tomorrow unpleasant. Still, better than getting blown up, I suppose.

Yikes, I have cousins in Lafayette. But I'm not actually worried because.
The news I read was that the shooter was 58 years old. What, we're not confined to disaffected young men anymore?
This all sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Still, better than getting blown up, I suppose.
Yes!

Yeah, I was surprised by that as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a dream that I watched my first episode of Game of Thrones, and five separate characters got killed off, in a variety of ridiculous ways.
I'm sticking with that instead of stressing about the bad things happening in the world.
