I'm not suggesting it, just questioning their judgment.
Word. I didn't want to antagonize the person coming to fix it and I'm sure they encounter unreasonable people a lot, but I wasn't going to file an emergency request for a slow drip.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Meara!
As it turns out, we are all going to Chicago for Worldcon, me on Thursday and Gary & Mr. S on Friday as Mr. S has school starting tomorrow.

Vindication is always sweet, even if having a fracture is worse than not having one! But ouch, take care!!

Yikes, Jen. Feel better.
The kids party went well. The few parents that were there were nice and easy to talk to and the kids had fun. Today's meet up with her new classmates at the park, nsm. There were far more parents there, they all seem to know each other, and I have no idea how to talk to any of them. ltc had fun and knew most of the new classmates from the playground and cafeteria last year. Little miss social butterfly will have no problems making new friends.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
After 20 days of no communication, mac texted last night and he is ready to take me up on my offer to move in with me to save money and figure some things out. Of course his eviction notice says he has to be out 9/4, so I have almost no time to try and coordinate this, but we will get it done.
My cousin who is an hour away is going to help out with logistics.
The next 4 days are going to be a whirlwind.

Glad the party went well, sj, and that things look good for new classmate situation.
msbelle, will be sending you all good vibes for this transition.

Our wings are not tired.
Much ~ma for a smooth transition, msbelle.

I'm glad she had a good time at her party. I've only seen her the one time, but I was impressed with how comfortable she was with a group of strangers and just played away happily with her buddy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad the party was good, ltc. Sorry the park was less good.
I hope the move goes as smoothly as possible, msbelle, and that mac does indeed take this opportunity to figure some things out.
My fitbit just buzzed at me the same moment that someone else's phone rang. Just a coincidence, but unsettling. Commute went smoothly today, I even had a no wait connection from my intercity express to the local that I don't usually take because I'd rather walk than wait, so that was nice. Gave the gas station/convenience store that is next door to work a try for breakfast - the clerk was soooo nice but the food on offer was, even by gas station standard, not very tempting. In an emergency, though, it's good to know it's an option, at least.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds right! I hope you get to know the parents over time and that goes OK.

I hope he does figure some things out. Good luck getting everything sorted.
