Very good to hear that is settled, sarameg.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
there's a place in downtown Seattle that makes the most amazing fries I've ever had -- I think they cook them in duck fat. SO GOOD.
Mmmmmm! There's a food truck here that serves duck-fat fried tater tots. Delicious.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Home again, home again. Definitely a migraine, but the pain is like a 1, maybe 1.5 However, I have crazy nausea. I almost booted on the plan, which was a totally normal smooth flight. But I didn't, thank god.
My FitBit glitched and told me I was 6,000 steps over my goal when I was only at 5,100 steps. (Though it wouldn't be unheard of for me to make my step goal –900 steps.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The trade war has hit my library
It hit my theatre the day after the tariffs were announced. Even though we ordered a new Genie lift before that date they hadn't started building it yet so it's going to cost an extra $600 or so. I've been getting notices from other vendors that various products will be going up anywhere from 6-12%.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been wondering how aluminum tariffs will impact us but I don't know who to ask.

I didn't think Bustle would spoil me for Infinity War, but scrolling article titles last night I ran across a very minor spoiler that I won't share here. (The title mentioned a thing I was assuming would happen -- not something major, like "Everyone Becomes Lizard People Who Tap Dance and Juggle" -- but still. Dang, Bustle.) Glad I'm seeing it in 2 1/2 hours.
Migraine is still barely lingering -- maybe a 0.5 on a scale of 0-10. That won't stop me from seeing the movie. Hell, back in the day, I saw Batman Begins with a full-on migraine with a pain level of about 7. I don't recommend it, but I wasn't going to let a migraine stop me.

Marvel execs must be wiggling in their board room chairs with utter delight at the amount of buzz.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Due to the DH having a bunch of end of the month articles to get out, we aren't going until Wednesday. I assume I'll be spoiled in some fashion by then, but I'm hoping to be somewhat unscathed.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I might be able to go next weekend, depending on how I'm feeling after surgery. I failed to set up a sitter for this weekend.
