I swam my first long swim in well over 6 weeks (2.25 miles vs 1&2/3 -I stuck to the shorter swims after the gallstone dx, and I'd been on vacation prior.) Slower than last night's shorter swim, but I did it without stopping. Woo!
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She would be welcome to the army of HamF's. (but what will we ever do if she finds a fandom that doesn't start with "H"?)

Anyone else watching Emerald City?

I can't say I enjoyed Emerald City, but I am fascinated by it. If there are Munchkins here, they don't have a Lollipop Guild. The Scarecrow carries a sword, I think I feel sorry for the Witch of the West, and nobody's calling Glinda Good.

I meant to, but I had a visitation to go to tonight.

I've worried about the nonsecure areas in airports as attractive soft targets for years now.

Our wings are not tired.
Things are still a logistical mess at FLL. Local paper says 10,000 people were bused to the port where Red Cross coordinated transportation and housing and so forth. Airport says it has 20,000 unclaimed bags to get to people. People ran without their carryons or phones. People didn't get on their cruises or connecting flights and have no housing or bags. And of course the many dead and injured that were arriving for vacation or business trips. A mess.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I wouldn't say I've worried, but I've definitely thought about it - mostly in the context of being aggravated at the security theatre when it's not like you couldn't just walk in and find big crowds bottlenecked together, were you of a mind to.
Terrible thing to happen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Decided not to go to the nursing home, as it's started snowing, and apparently isn't going to stop? So that seems like the right call.
