So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’ve heard charcuterie described as “Lunchables, only good,” which is plausible. I’m currently doing keto, so every day involves a cheeseboard.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE FLIGHTTTTT. Travel agent found that miracle.

If all goes well I'll arrive a day later with an overnight in Europe but it looks doable, as long as the airspace here is still open.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee F2F Buffistas! Keep your fingers crossed please.
