Allentown, I am in you! We got here at a nice hotel, Courtyard Marriott, and I promptly laid down and took a two and a half hour nap because I was running on empty.

Woke up groggy, but able to made words. And get ready for gourmet pizza with D, his MiL, M, his siblings and E's mom.

It's was very cordial, and I am mature enough to be pleased by this.

So far, -ma is working!

There's a pool here, but a little one. I think I'll take a quick dip, then a hot shower, and watch free HBO til I fall asleep.

I'm not nervy about my outfits anymore, because confidence is the best beautifier!

My anxiety is almost null, and I am very pleased! Go, team me, go team healthy coping strategies!

Thanks for-ma, and for support - every time I think negatively. I channel y'all, and I feel your hope and I think "What would the Buffistas advise?"

I'm so excited to see my darling boy knock the ball out of the park. I'm so proud of him!

And M's mom and I are being cordial in what seems like a genuine way. I can't guarantee that will never clash on anything again, but I've decided that hate is a destructive emotion, and that I am going to try to be a good person and release hateful feelings.

My mouse froze up on me, Dana, I was trying to post!

I made some kind (seriously, fingers, that's what you type?) of squeaking noise and then said "Are you shitting me?"

I know, right? Unbelievable. And this time, in a good way.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! again!

The global summit is over! I am going to bed now, because I need to get up around 4am to check out of my hotel and go to the tiny airport for an international flight to Chicago and then on to Michigan.

I'm very glad it's done, and that people are happy and seem to think it went well.

The football game is showing closeups of beignets. Not fair.

I am okay with that, actually.

Glad the summit went well, shrift! That sounds like a big deal.

And the ad for the drug designed to combat "Opioid Induced Constipation" has officially weirded me out. What a world.

...and now I'm Googling.
