Have you ever suggested an event, contacted people, sent out a Doodle poll, made a reservation at the restaurant, responded to emails about the event and then COMPLETELY FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT IT?!?!?!!? Well, I just did!

Was supposed to have a reunion brunch with a bunch of people that I was really excited to see and just TOTALLY SPACED. Realized when I happened to check Facebook. ARGH!

Same re: five-year... guesses. I have never been a five year goal person, but I think maybe in my twenties to early thirties things pretty much happened as expected. All bets were off after about mid-thirties.

Speaking of which, I took a very light trip to my knees in they parking lot this morning, and my knee and ankle are a little hurty, though I can walk.

I may be abundantly cautious and get an x-ray at OrthoVA tomorrow. At most, I suspect they'd give me a boot or brace, but, you know, I have walked around on a broken ankle for a week without realizing it before, so... there are bad precedents to overcome. Doesn't hurt nearly as much as that time, though.

Went to a UU church service this morning. They were nice. I miss the fellowship of my UMC church from before I moved away from here in the aughts, but, you know, I'm not actually a Christian or, frankly spiritual in any sense really anymore, so I don't go to church. It's kind of a bummer -- they were good, welcoming folks at Central UMC.

ETA: I have thought about doing, "I'm an apostate, but can I come back anyway? I still make a great tuna casserole..." They'd let me in and stealth pray for my return to the fold!

Oh, no, Vortex!!! That is such a weird, crappy feeling. So sorry.

(And, yeah, been there. Back in the day before cell phones, I planned a dinner/movie night and just forgot about it. They all had fun but wondered what the hell happened to me! I don't think anyone was even able to get me on the phone until the next day).

Well, it's a little wierd that 2 people contacted me after it was over.

Hmmm... yeah, except it's likely they lost track of who planned it? I can see that happening.

Timelies all!

Gaming get-together was fun, even though not a lot of gaming happened. We were told we'd be meeting at 2, and we were there at 2:05. No one else was there. We put our names in for a table and waited outside the cafe. It was a nice day so that wasn't too bad. Eventually we got seated, and the rest of our group straggled in. After everyone was there and got food, we played SuperMunchkin. (We ended up having to add treasure cards from a different variant of Munchkin, as we were running out.) We left around 6:30 and went to dinner.

Oh dear, Vortex! Whooops!

Our flight got canceled at the last minute.

Had to scramble to book another flight home tomorrow morning on a different airline. Maxing out all our daily credit limits.

Back at the hotel for another night. JZ was so weary and ready to go home, but at least she's back in bed and can rest until tomorrow.

Emmett took an extra night with Matilda in good cheer.

Everything was timed out and looking good and then blam, rug yanked out from under.

Bah. Bar opens at 5. I'll have a couple and come back up, but I'm more than ready to be home.

ugh that sucks. I'm sorry for the hassle

So sorry for that hassle for you guys.
