Oy, Dana. Do you have any kind of trip insurance that could help defray expenses? I think I heard recently that that was a thing to be aware of.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry, Dana.
Sorry msbelle.
I have my laptop back. Pretty quick turnaround, too.
Also, this weekend is Balticon, live for the first time in a couple years. Keeping Mr. S amused is going to be a challenge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Chris, that must be rough.
I'm all the way over here and I just put on Great British Bake-Off because it's all I can deal with.

I watched 5 (or maybe 6) hours of Ted Lasso on Tuesday night because it was the best thing I could think of to forestall just totally losing it.

No, no trip insurance, but it's fine. If I decide I need to change my flight, American will do it without a fee. Luckily (?) I brought my work computer with me. But should I fly home Tuesday? I wouldn't want someone who knowingly had covid to come on my plane and sit next to me.

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

Do NOT travel if…
You have COVID-19 symptoms, even if you recovered from COVID-19 within the past 90 days or are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines.
You tested positive for COVID-19...Do not travel until a full 10 days after your symptoms started or the date your positive test was taken if you had no symptoms.

Ok, I am very satisfied with my cheap as hell e-bike that folds up small enough to fit in a Prius trunk but I just discovered that Vespa makes an electric model that only costs 15x as much and I am wistful.

Yep. So pretty. I have wanted a Vespa since Lou Reed did that Honda commercial and that one calls to me so strongly! I will have to work on arranging my life to make owning one practical.

In perpetual motion here. Today the usual work stuff, plus going to Miami at 10 to look at a boat. Then noon back here to move all my stuff to BIL's house where DH will spend the summer and I'll reside from time to time. Tomorrow at some early hour picking up 18 teens and driving to Orlando for 3 day basketball tournament. I plan to do as much food prep as possible, but don't even know the actual schedule yet. Hope to get info on that from DH on the road to and from Miami. We will have a kitchen at the hotel. (I know how to feed them easily enough, but don't know the game schedule or kitchen capability yet) Back late Monday and then Tuesday evening get the big ass rental truck to pack all our shit to take to NY. Leave Wednesday for NY with 3 animals and 2 vehicles. Travel 3 days. After about a week DH flies back to Ft. Lauderdale. Need to get him to commit to a date so I can make a reservation. I have tickets to fly down on June 30 for his surgery and stay a week. Guess I should get packing.
