Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow Gary and I are flying to Ohio for an in-person convention for the first time since February 2020.(Mr. S is staying with his nanny) We’re leaving early on Sunday so we can take Mr. S trick or treating, but it’s a start.

(The convention is insisting on everyone being fully vaccinated, and all will be masked and observing social distancing as best as we can.)

Our wings are not tired.

First, I am boosted! Glad to have that off my list. Just call me invincible.

I saw this job posting that I didn't really understand -- it looked like it included the parts of my job I was good at, but not the other parts, and I couldn't quite wrap my head around how that would work.

In the early days of my working life, I used to completely fabricate my resume to fit the job posting, including adding years to my age to fit in the experience. I had an abundance of confidence that I could do the job. It worked out. Do I feel guilty? Nope.

It sounds like Matilda is having a most excellent school year!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, not anywhere close to billions but since I took the opportunity to make myself a little spreadsheet listing all the contacts and whether I have already emailed them I can see that it is about 75. And I have been promised an updated message to go out to all of them again just as soon as it gets approved.

75 x 2 is a lot of emails! Yikes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It sounds like Matilda is having a most excellent school year!

I think ita would approve of her skirt-wearing mandate.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Interesting reviews of some types of apple I had never even heard of: [link]

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

Thanks for the b'day happies!

But probably an ADHD evaluation should happen first.

That's fair.

Btw, JZ is just finishing Mexican Gothic.

I stayed up way too late to finish it because I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't finish it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn’t sleep much when I was reading Mexican Gothic either. It is so hard to put down!

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

Whew!

I really needed to come tell y'all that I have made the executive decision to bcc most of my accounts with today's update on our complete stoppage and the board wasn't here! This place is way more important to my peace of mind than work. So glad it was a quick fix

Also, Mexican Gothic was super compelling and also made it hard to sleep because creepy and disturbing
