Oh, Shir! I am so sorry to hear this. I was really looking forward to you having this escape and distraction from the day-to-day stresses. I was also looking forward to the hugs! I do hope some solution presents itself.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Oh, Shir, that stinks, but I will continue to hold out hope. My doors are open whenever, friend.

Damn, Shir. This all sucks so very much.

This sucks a lot. :(

Thank you, all. I really appreciate your posts. I was really looking forward to see as many of you as possible. I'll speak with my travel agent on Sunday to see if there's a detour via Europe sometime in the next two weeks, but damn. I really wanted this vacation and some time off to clear my mind a bit from everything here.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My Friday night: rocking out to a 35-year-old B-52's album and buying underwear online. I am out of control, y'all.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I mopped the kitchen floor.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Mr. Loomycakes is out of town at a big Magic: the Gathering event, being Mr. Famous Artist. I decided I wanted a charcuterie plate, so I used DoorDash to have a bunch of fancy snacks delivered. I'm justifying this to myself with the knowledge that, given the opportunity, I will eat charcuterie plates as often as I can.

Ha! My friend calls this Girl Dinner.
They do have a particularly fabulous charcuterie option at my bar, Alembic. With the requisite cheese and meats but also garlic confit and fig jam and coarse grained mustard etc. Not to mention a fab vegan mushroom pate.
