I hope it's a pleasant airport to be waiting around in, meara.
I hope you get plenty of rest and your life back soon, shrift
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Something nice - I live in one of the few buildings that allows pets; since I don't have a pet of my own, I make friends with my neighbors' dogs. With a few exceptions, it's lovely - they appreciate a little extra affection and I get my puppy love. One, who lives down the hall from me, is an elderly French Bulldog. when she sees me at a time when she crosses paths with me, she'll stop, sit down and refuse to move until she's received an acceptable level of petting and ear rubs. This morning was one such time - her person was getting out of the elevator as I was leaving my apartment and the dog sat and WAS NOT MOVING until she received her morning homage. So I rubbed her ears, scritched her head and told her she was a good dog. When she'd had enough (or at least enough for the moment), she agreed to get up and walk into her home. And I toddled off to work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jeeeeeesus, is it raining.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I would like to direct people's attention to the Economist this week: [link] Their lead story (in Europe and other parts non-American) concerns the turmoil in the British government, as two Brexit hardliners resigned from their cabinet post.
The delusional qualities of the pro-Brexiteers is a story all on its own, of course; but I'm more interested in the cartoon illustration to go with the article. It shows the PM bailing out a paddleboat in choppy seas (with the Trump baby balloon flying the skies behind her). They've named the boat "Brexity McBrexitface".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are coming in for the weekend. Tomorrow is Mr. S's birthday(He'll be 3!!) His party is on Sunday. Not much relaxation going on here.

Happy 3rd birthday to Mr. S! I hope he has a wonderful time!

Our wings are not tired.
They've named the boat "Brexity McBrexitface".
Much more amusing that the Brexit situation!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They've named the boat "Brexity McBrexitface".
That is brilliant.

This afternoon, I start as my parents personal tour guide. Have sat & Sunday tours booked, but all else is on me. Wish me lots of patience. I get to answer the same questions over& over& over cause mom's memory & dad insists he's just going with the flow (spoiler: he doesn't!)
But it's been otherwise good. I doubt there'll be another trip like this; really think it is getting to be too much for my mom to cope with. So there is that.
Now I need to see if the lunch restaurant has my mom's jacket or if she left it elsewhere. PJ left this morning & left hers for mom, so not a problem, but....

Of course they did.
sarameg, I hope the trip goes well. I was sort of a tour guide/support for Dad a couple of times after Mom died. While it was challenging, I have some great memories from it.
