I just won't fly through Chicago anymore. In the last couple decades, every flight that went through there got screwed up or cancelled. I'm lucky there are plenty of other viable alternatives.

My butt hurts. I did another 3+ miles. Dropped cookies off at the Y and guys...a non-pool-staffer I hadn't seen in a while came up to give me a hug "I heard about your surgery! Good to see you up!" I love Gus, and it just touches me to know word got about.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Do you have a little Cajun in you?...Would you like to?" Actual line used by a friend of mine.

Aw, sarameg. I love your Y community.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, that's great, Sara!

"Do you have a little Cajun in you?...Would you like to?" Actual line used by a friend of mine.

That sounds about right. I wonder if he knows about the Cajun Injector??

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sara, my friend actually went to the Christmas party last night. She was dopey on percocet, but she by god made it. She's doing okay, but she's still on pain meds today. I took her some corn muffins that I made to go with chili tonight (I offered her some chili -- it's made with fake meat, so it isn't fatty, and it's also SUPER mild, because I am a spicy food wimp -- but she turned it down, which I figured she would), and she said she's pretty much been dozing in her La-Z-Boy chair all day.

I think I got really lucky. Or have a high pain tolerance. Ran into a friend who had given me a rundown on what to expect from her experience & she thought it was pretty wild I was already burning through a 3 mile fast walk yesterday. I haven't involuntarily napped since, what? Wednesday?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh dear, Debet. They had one person doing lights, projections, and sound?

watching the intelligent lights (the ones you can program where they aim) dance (sometimes when they weren't even on, but more often when they turned on before aiming where they were supposed to).

MARK. Learn it. Know it. Live it.

I've attacked a couple of piles of paper today (moving 80% of it to recycling), vacuumed (although I think it took longer to fix the belt on the hand-vac), and put my holiday music playlist on my old iPhone 3. I still need to figure out a couple of remaining gifts and dig my giftwrap materials out of the back of the closet.

This United Customer service line is enormous.

Would calling United Customer Service be quicker? Next time, fly through Denver - if you get stuck here, I could come get you or at least come visit.

I already called to rebook, but they can't get me on a flight until 10pm tomorrow. Now waiting for a hotel voucher.

I don't have many connection options to Kalamazoo.

I don't want to go to bed, because that means I have to go to work tomorrow! I want to stay up late and continue to watch DVDs and putter around my apartment!
