Timelies all!
I’m sorry, msbelle.
Am at Closing Ceremonies. We are staying until Wednesday, and will be site-seeing the next couple days.

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

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.

Yay! You deserve to get a break with your tight schedule.
Home by 3:30 and now I'm hooked on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Charismatic cast!

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, y'all, I am missing a work document, and I've looked everywhere and can't find it, and it would be a huge pain in the ass to recreate and we're already on a couple of deadlines, so I'm gonna need everyone to pray to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost things, that this thing turns up right away.
Also got a weird medical thing going on, so this is not my best Monday.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
so I'm gonna need everyone to pray to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost things, that this thing turns up right away.
In college I interned for the Catholic magazine St. Anthony Messenger (this is real), and the phrase everyone used was "Tony, Tony, turn around; something's lost and must be found."
May Tony be with you.

Sending Tony vibes your way, Dana. That is so fucking frustrating.
