I have no china or crystal. My favorite plates are from ikea. :)
oduced myself to many of the people there, had some great conversations, and came away feeling pretty good
That's awesome, go you!
Last night met a friend's new gf (we approve) and did karaoke; this morning met a different friend's new BF (also approve). Good times.
I have a similar issue with men and dating.
Oh yeah, that too. I was literally just thinking, if I'm not applying for jobs, I might as well be dating?
So my mother forgot she has a friend in town tonight, so now I have to figure out my own dinner! Hmph.
Use your nice stuff people, no one is more important than you.
This is great life advice.
Look at these girls. Daaaamn.

Stupid rassin-frassin insurance companies creating unneeded problems. Got ADD diagnosed. Got prescription. Dropped prescription off at pharmacy Saturday. Got a call a bit later from the pharmacy that my insurance wants to talk to my doctor before they will authorize payment of the prescription. Per the pharmacist - the question for the doc is if this is the medication the doc wants me to take. Ummmmm...didn't THE DOCTOR write the prescription in the first place? Hello.
Really wish I had the meds, cause writing this paper is an exercise in distraction. Most of my papers have had 5-6 sources. This paper, I'm already up to 8 and I have about 18 open tabs for more potential sources. And each time I click through I get distracted and arrrrgggggggggggggggggg.

If it really was the doctor and your obviously-drug-seeking self didn't bribe one of the support staff to forge the prescription. Anything to get out of paying money.
Look at these girls. Daaaamn.
So many six-packs. Wow.
So the HillaryforCA twitter feed has a picture of a lighthouse on it. Which is lovely. Except ... the lighthouse is in Washington State (I should know, I was at that lighthouse last week). While the HillaryforWA twitter feed has a picture of the DNC. I pointed this out to them, no response.
Here I have my one opportunity to use my professional knowledge for good, and nobody will listen! Woe!
Timelies all!
WorldCon is over for 2016. (Next year is in Helsinki, which we aren't sure if it is doable for us) We went to a panel at 11, then went to the ballpark to see a Royals game. It was the little guy's first game.(Yes, even though we live within a hour's travel time of two major league parks, we haven't gotten to either with him. Oh, well.)

Yeah, I know. And Adderall has a high street value. Not sure if it also raised a flag that my son takes it too. Though really, doesn't that show it is a family issue, not just out of the blue?
Paper is coming along SLOWLY. I have my research. But writing is kicking my tush. Normally it is the research that kicks my butt. Le sigh.
In less frustrating news, Kelly (I'm honestly trying to use her real name instead of K-Bug cause she is 26 now) seems to have a new man. I haven't met him face to face yet - though we have had a few FB exchanges. She is so much happier than she has been in a long time. Makes me happy too. Both my kids are in good relationships. I'd say it was my turn but I don't have time for that.
Back to writing.
I solved the question of dinner with a bunch of vegetables -- corn (cooked in the oven = delicious) and some roasted broccoli mixed with this kim chi my aunt made. All so good!
There may be ice cream later.
