I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh good, we got the easy going Russian nurse who took us early and is happy to help us get out of here on time.

When the charge nurse says “Here’s your 11 o’clock” and it’s 10am your nurse isn’t obliged to be that flexible.

Sigh of relief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. What a hard time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay! You deserve to get a break with your tight schedule.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I’m sorry, msbelle.

Am at Closing Ceremonies. We are staying until Wednesday, and will be site-seeing the next couple days.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

I've apparently reversed my sleeping schedule somehow this weekend. I was up most of the night (cooked a meal at 3am since I was hungry rather than sleepy), then slept til 2 this afternoon. Lucky I had no obligations or plans for the day, beyond potting my dragonfruit cactus sprouts.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.

This concludes my construction update!

This reminded me that I need to follow up with potential contractors. We're trying to remodel bathrooms and earthquake retrofit the house, and Wednesday evening I emailed three potential contractors for each task, figuring they'd all call or email to schedule the next day. But only one of them followed up so far, so I guess I need to find more options or, like, contact the original ones on the phone like it's the 20th century or something.

Home by 3:30 and now I'm hooked on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Charismatic cast!

Yay for good nurse and being able to keep on schedule. Also, yay for good tv. Suela and Nanita, so sorry about the pictures and the emotions around them.

Hooray for bathroom improvements, and NZ adventures! Also for con excursions.

Matt, ~ma for your mom.

Existing in the heat and cowering indoors, mostly. Of course the car has AC, so scenic drives are a plus.
