Sounds like a fun trip, meara!
Badly twisted ankles and family photo thoughtlessness are less fun.
It's been mostly work and hiding from the heat for me, as is my usual habit in July.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Popping in briefly to say that MY BATHROOM RENOVATION IS ALMOST DONE!! The plumber is here and there will be a toilet and shower in that room VERY SOON! If I'm lucky maybe even a SINK!

Punishingly Intricate
I would be very hurt (and angry) about either picture experience.

Yay Jess! Mine gets demolished on Monday!
I’d be very hurt. Suela, and Nanita. How thoughtless. You both deserve so much better.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We are in Winnipeg now. Our flight to Toronto was delayed from 9:30 to 11:15. Luckily, our connecting flight to Winnipeg was delayed by an hour, and customs wasn’t very bad. Got to the con and found out a friend of ours had a heart attack and died the day before.

I'll survive, but I hiked with my niece this morning and she noticed it as well, which was strangely validating. I just wish I'd gotten one nice photo, you know?

Oh no Sheryl, how awful. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Sheryl.
Maybe someone has a candid shot that you will see which captures you properly, Consuela. So disheartening to have this happen.
I went with my son's girlfriend and got 4 holes put back in my earlobes since they closed up after I was too lazy to wear earrings for too long. It wasn't bad, although I am such a coward. She got a medusa to go along with her bridge, septum, and labret piercings that she did a while ago. Her ears had previously closed so she had them redone too. This was on my list for a while so I am happy to have it behind me. I will never go without earrings again!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Cheryl. Something very similar happened during Faire last fall, and it was upsetting and jarring for everyone.
I just remembered that this is my brother's birthday. I'd been pretty good over the last few years about remembering in time to get a card to him, but this year was a total fail. And I just remembered that my mom had mentioned having the family over for a birthday dinner a few days ago, so I did have time. What I don't have is spare brain cells.
