Memorial service for my physics prof, Rex Adelberger. In conjunction with physics reunion, but I never go to those, but for this.

It's weird, think fairly fondly of my college experience, but cut most ties & never looked back. But my freshman April started with a memorial service for the prof who recruited me & Rex kept us together the next few years, even in his own grief (was his best friend.) so I feel like I need to close this circle with another April.

I'm sorry for your loss. Aging stinks.

shrift, very glad you and your co-workers are okay.

My ankle is particularly painful and cranky so I took one of my carefully rationed oxycodone tablets and now I'm feeling pleasantly floaty. But my ankle still hurts. Not as bad though.

I hope the memorial brings good closure, sarameg

I want to clarify, I'm not mourning or anything. Just musing, really. Odd place. It's performative, ritual that feels important to me, so I'll do it. The ways I bind and loose myself from people and times, don't always understand it myself. But really glad not to be in my twenties for a long while.

I am in Las Vegas for Clexacon, a con for lady gays in the media. I don't actually know most of the guests or shows, my friends are more into it. But I know fandom. So we were looking at the s hedule and they were like "what's vidding?" Omg. I showed them a couple good ones, and now I feel the need to show them better ones...

But really glad not to be in my twenties for a long while.

Each decade served its purpose but I don't desire to do any of them again particularly. I have to say that things became more manageable, for lack of a better word at this hour, after 35.

I hope the memorial brings enjoyable memories and experiences.

May the ankle be better this morning. The upside of not being able to take any of those kinds of painkillers is zero risk of enjoying them, but the downside is not a lot of options when pain happens.

Enjoy Vegas, meara! Friend is moving there next month so I may have more excuses to vaca there. On my nice place to visit list for sure.

DH has his head coach interview this afternoon. ~ma for what is supposed to happen there.

Interview~ma, Laura

That sounds fun, meara! I like doing stuff like that where I'm not that into the subject matter but I do know how to navigate for companions who ARE into it.

Man, I am this || close to breaking everything I touch today. PT for vertigo this afternoon, though, so that's something to look forward to. And I may follow that with pizza, I haven't decided.

::runs naked through thread flinging glitter::

I see you, -t!!!

Hope you have a good trip, Sara.

Good luck to your DH, Laura.

I just want to go to Vegas.
