I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Can they get you a rental car instead?

I am trying to fly standby this morning. Don't want a rental car. Sister offered to drive down but there are a lot of accidents on I-94. Plus I'm tired and I've barely eaten anything since lunch yesterday.

Punishingly Intricate

It's -3 here evidently. We have to go out in a bit but the car we rented has heated seats, thank dog

I might try to take the train, but O'Hare is still holding my luggage hostage. Why did I pick this trip to not pack some clothes in my carry on?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just got gut-punched by Kate Beaton this morning, so I figured I might as well share: [link]

Eat food, shrift!!!

I would much rather be in st Thomas with Laura than where I am. Or in some negative temperature hell. Ew.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why are there so many problems with this house? Don't they have home inspections in Canada?

Oh ugh. Yeah, no good options if you don't have access to your luggage. And you're right, not a great time to be driving in these parts.

Is there anything in particular that you need that could be brought to you if you don't make it out until late tonight?

Also, these people named their child Jetson.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Like- George Jetson?

I am sorry you are having traveling woes, shrift.

I am imagining sparking going to work with a long scroll with our signatures saying she can stay home-- kind of like the munchkin mayor (or coroner, or whoever has the scroll).

Does anyone know how to buy mp3 books on tape without an audible subscription? I want to get some for my mother and load them on an mp3 player for Christmas, but I can't seem to figure it out- everything requires me to have a monthly subsription.

I did eat food! It was a terrible sandwich, but at least I didn't have to pay for it. I got an amenities bag from United last night, so I'm okay for now.

I guess I'll call to see where my luggage is.
