Our healthcare system is such an absolute shitshow.
I'm sorry for all who have to navigate it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're going to Winnipeg for Pemmi-Con, the North American Science Fiction Con.(When World con is not in North America, a NASFic is held) Have to get up at stupid o'clock for our flight tomorrow morning.

I'm posting this here because I can't put it anywhere else. My sister's wedding was 2 weeks ago, and she put up the link to the photographs, and there isn't a single real picture of me in them. I'm indirectly in a few other photos, but apparently my sister never told the photographer I was related to her? So they didn't bother?
I feel weirdly hurt.

Yes, that is an understandable reaction, Consuela.
In more the world has gone mad news, I see someone went on a shooting spree in New Zealand around the World Cup. I only saw the headline so don't know the details. Generally New Zealand gets this stuff right, but tough to get rid of all the ways the crazies can get weapons.

Laura, from what I read, it was employment related, not World Cup related. But still, sad and depressing.

Completely understandable, Consuela.
That's sad news out of New Zealand.
In a complete shift of seriousness of subject... I need to trim the claws of the beasts today before they puncture us unto madnesses. I wish they could understand that trimmed claws make everything better for an indoor kitty and her humans. They do not.

I need to get my animals in for that annual vaccinations now that I am in NY. I was considering having the cat's claws trimmed too, but now that I am up here I am hoping maybe her romping in the woods and clawing trees will do the job? I'm not sure it works that way so I'll ask the vet, who will yell at me for letting her out, but that is her summer joy to get out of the condo life.

I totally get it. It's not like you wanted to be the center of attention, but it sucks when it feels like you're invisible.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's not weird, it's completely understandable. Consuela.
Except for the 'impossible to see anyone specific" group shot, same thing happened to me. It sucked honestly.

I got my makeup done and bought a fabulous jumpsuit and there isn't a single flattering photo of me...
Anyway I'm about to have another staff member give notice today and I'm just... Argh.
