When my Nana (in New Jersey) passed, I just went to the nearest florist and placed the order. There must be some sort of florists' network, and they all work from the same catalog; you pick the arrangement at this end, someone at that end creates and delivers it.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

And Steph, I get it. In this as in so many things, we are twinsies; I am a HUGE birthday ho. My birthday is tomorrow (in case you hadn't heard), and I would be so upset if I were facing the weekend that you are. I think Zen makes an excellent point, it's because you're not an asshole that these other obligations are a problem. If you were an asshole, you'd say "Screw 'em" and do exactly what you want to do. Because you are a good and thoughtful human person, your birthday is being unfortunately preempted this year. I really hope that when it's celebrated at another time, or that whatever you end up doing Friday evening returns you all the JOY you missed, with interest.

Call the funeral home. Or if you want, I can call for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just went to my local funeral home's website and they have a list of florists on there, so you could try that. Alternatively, Teleflora will totally work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
In the continuing saga of my phone, Macy's did not return my calls(I called from work this morning and left a message with my work number). After dinner I went to the nearby Sprint store, only to find that since the account is in Gary's name, and I am not an authorized user on said account, they can't upgrade me. Which means that either Gary comes with me to get the phone, or he makes me an authorized user on the account. Feh.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Well that's no fun, Sheryl.
ETA: Somebody tell me I want to inquire about private swim lessons at the community pool so I can learn the Tarzan stroke and swim laps without putting my face in the water.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Wow, I'm up early enough to almost catch the night shift.
Our flight out of Vienna is at 7:50, which meant the alarm went off at 4:30. We get home tonight almost 7PM local time, which, if you add 7 hours, will be 14 Vienna time.
No, that's not right. It will be 2AM, so we'll have been up for almost 24 hours. I'm really glad we decided to get a hotel near the airport in Houston and make the drive back on Thursday.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hi, Dana. Safe travels.

Heathrow! Place of people who speak English. Everyone should speak whatever language they want, of course, but I get back that part of my brain that was trying to remember German words.
Since we have a five-hour layover, we're conducting a thorough review of food options.
And I hear Netflix has a British version of Hoarders. Y'all might be in trouble again.
