Oooodle of ~ma for your family, Strix.

I skipped about 500 posts, realizing I wasn't going to be able to catch up here. Last conversation was David finally getting a response from the school principal.

So, hugs, encouragement, side eye, clue-by-four, and OMG amazing! Use as needed.

Best thoughts to you and your family, Strix.

None of us are imposters, including me. In fact, I'm pretty damn good, and so are you and you and you.

Yessss.

So glad you got the root canal, Sophia!

I left work at 2:30, because fuck it. And I'm having a few people over tomorrow and was feeling overwhelmed about that too. It was an excellent call, as I have done some quality sitting around in addition to neatening and vacuuming and whatnot.

Peace~ma for your dad and you and your whole family, Strix.

Sophia, I am glad that root canal weny ok.

Much strength to you and your family, Strix.

Good luck Strix.

AAARGH. So, last March I tried on some new dance boots, but they didn't have my size in the color/style I wanted. So I didn't buy them. But I wrote down what size/style I did want. In September I went online and decided to actually buy them. It says may take six weeks. I kept emailing and following up and contemplating saying cancel the order, but I still wanted the damn shoes, so I waited. And finally got them today. And put them on. AND THEY DON"T FIT. They're too big. If they were a tiny bit too small that would actually be fine--they stretch--but too big is not fixable. SO ANNOYED. Now I have to send them back and STILL won't have new shoes. (Sadly, the dance shoes I want are either online, or at dance conventions, and that's it. Nowhere to try them on in person unless you're at a convention where they brought some stock, and I thought since I had, they would freaking fit!)

Sincere thanks for all the good thoughts, all. I really appreciate being able to freak out a little here.

Dad's got a blood clot in his left lung. He's admitted and needs to see a specialist. He's comfortable now, but thing's are about 50/50 right now. That's probably all we'll know tonight unless something changes for the worse.

Thanks for letting me babble. Today has been pretty stressful.

Congrats, Sophia!!

(((Strix))) Please babble as needed. I'm glad he's comfortable.

Good call, Jesse. I feel like "because fuck it" is usually a good call.

And, hey, why not, good call Jessica on whatever calls you have made today.

Oh, argh, meara. How frustrating! IOShoeNews, I bought the most adorable purple velvet booties today when I wax shopping for cheap flats (because I regretted not packing any flats when I got dressed this morning) which I do not need at all. But super sugar, y'all.

Best of all possible outcomes-ma, Strix. Please continue to drop any loads you need to here. You know we get it. {{{Strix}}}

I wanted to watch the opening ceremonies, but it's so much blah blah I can't care. I guess I'll record and look for highlights later.
