Things are better for me the past day or two. except for the fools across the street with the fireworks. I know I can be a major kvetch, but the nausea after only a few months of "Wow, glad that thyroid thing is over," does seem on the mean side, especially since I can't do what Archie Bunker wanted and "Change...change right now!" and I can't move around and don't know how long the shit's gonna take--Generally, I'm not on the winning side of (shrug) "It's different for everyone," and, bloodwork aside, that thyroid thing took the better part of an entire *year* to even sort of get right, even without me not being thrilled to go from social status as Squeaky-Voiced Teen to getting to finish up as Seymour's mother.

A new trend line! May it continue.

In exciting news, I just took the dog outside again and there are lightning bugs, or fireflies, can't remember which they are called where.

In less exciting news, I think my dog has something bad going on. I have a vet appointment Tuesday morning. He has become really bad about eating, very anxious, digestive issues, and other oddities. We'll see what the vet has to say.

Hello! In my semi-lurking, I saw the question about goodstuffhappenedtoday, and I just.... got bored with it the other day so maybe it's cancelled? Sorry.

I met up with some friends at a beer hall nearby to watch the USMNT. Disappointing—they just didn’t look good at all—-but probably for the best so it’s not all about the stupid rescinding of the red card. Still a bummer though—would’ve at least liked a closer game.

I am also very much hoping there are not more fireworks tonight. The last three nights have been loud.

(Also >24 hours with zero posts seems wrong)

I am safely home from the con. I got to see a bunch of old friends, have some ridiculously good chicken mole enchiladas, and hug a few folks who apparently really needed hugging. If I write this one up, it'll very likely go onto Dreamwidth under circle-lock (I'm [link] over there; send me email at my profile address if you want to be added to the access list.)

Nurse Jen's hubby Matt is indeed a lovely fellow; I was prepared to be quite jealous of him when we met at JZ's memorial, but my life is not a rom-com in that particular direction. Sometimes friends just love one another and no one makes a fuss. I'm glad he and Jen have each other, and long may they wave.

The orange blight certainly can be a jinx on sports teams.

Even people that don't think they need hugging should get hugged by you, Karl. You're great at it. Laura, he's a jinx on Americans, and possibly humanity as a whole.

Did we know that Oahu has a small population of feral wallabies?

I don't know why this makes me so happy.

Watching the Belgium team trolling Trump with the dancing is downright hysterical.
