Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Westercon you say! It is being held in Denver this year, hosted by a con I work with called Myths and Legends. This year we are exploring so many of my favorites - Dr. Who, Supernatural, (not Sherlock - totally missed opportunity), Harry Potter and more.
Westercon will be about 2 weeks after Denver Comic Con - so I will be Con crazy in June/early July.
PLUS, PLUS, PLUS, I graduate with my masters the weekend before DCC. I'm on my last class and have so much don't wanna, it is epic.
I got an I'm sorry text this afternoon. Progress.
Yes!
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, Mr. S and I head to Toronto. Yes, I'm driving there.
Lots of sanity~ma! We sang in the car a lot on road trips. Still do.
Petty venting - twice today people have thanked someone else for something I did in an email I was cc's on. And one of those people thanked me directly for something else I did but called me by someone else's name. I hate everyone.
My phone started blowing up mid-morning, and when I checked there was a group text Hubby's sister had sent out and many people responding to it. Her daughter died this morning, from what appears to be mishandling of her prescriptions. She had a habit of taking three or four instead of one, and she got several psych drugs refilled yesterday. I think it was accidental, because the police found a container of melting ice cream on her desk next to her body, which had fallen out of her chair.
SIL is devastated, of course. She has close friends with her, so she's well taken care of. I had lunch with her and her best friend. She was already planning to move to Salt Lake City, so I don't have to worry if she can afford to live somewhere without her daughter's income (they lived together). So my day was different than planned.
Oh, man, Connie, I'm sorry. That's terrible.
Not petty, -t. Grrr.
I am so sorry, Connie. What a nightmare for SIL.
Oh, Connie, how sad.
I got an I'm sorry text this afternoon. Progress.
Progress!
Oh, Connie, that's terrible.
Progress.
I'm trying not to respond with a cheesy Jemma Simmons quote here.
-t, I for one, would like to thank you.
As an aside, does anyone have a couple million bucks I could um...borrow? I would let you come and visit me, I promise.
It doesn't have the lovely grounds, but I could host more people here. [link] Maybe we need a handful of regional homes.
I'm so sorry for this heartbreak, Connie. How your SIL must be aching.
You're very welcome, aurelia.
