One package of bubble wrap for Dana, coming up.

I am also still vibrating from Saturday, more in a good way than bad. But I do want to put one thing out there to everyone who hugged me on Saturday, whether it was the first time or after long years apart: Thank you, more than I'll ever be able to express. Yes, it was a lot to take in. But it felt so *safe.* What the Empress said upthread about every hug letting her relax and unclench just a little bit more -- yeah, that was so true for me. (Aims, you're incredible and I love you so much.)

Which meant that I got home and bawled my eyes out for a couple of hours, of course. But that catharsis had been stuck in my chest for months. The 2020s have been a lot for me, y'all. But at least I still have my fierce, sweet Buffistas.

Plei getting me to Ballard might be difficult, but I am willing to do it on occasion! Especially if you manage to pirate that show I was telling you about....

Glad everyone is managing to eventually get home!

Gotta go look up Nilly's link to add more photos. Hoping someone has more full-length photos, I mostly have selfies! (LOL looks like I duplicated--someone had already uploaded the photos I posted to Facebook)

Aw, Karl. With you in spirit if not in physical being.((K))) Once again, the social worker needs more help than I. (irritated noise) Gotta love the reschedule e when Ms. Frond(not her real name, but should be) is late already.

Like the worst reality show ever "Who's The Real Cripple?"

PM, did you say your people make a 2-factor Android app? I seem to need one for work and I'd prefer one with at least some provenance.

Profile addy is good if you don't want to say publically.

Also, hi all!

I still haven't watched the full memorial. I was going to today but it's been a day. I did cut my own hair, I've never done that before. I watched a youtube video in whole, skimmed through some. Didn't really do anything they recommended and M had to clean up some of the cut that I botched. But it doesn't look horrible --it's all one length and just below my shoulders. I didn't attempt bangs or layering. I've just been lazy about going some where and getting it cut.

I am also willing to make the occasional trek to Ballard! (And also trying to reconstruct a friend network post-pandemic and post-that one friend who always invited me to everything moving across the country.)

We're back from my niece's graduation in Oklahoma. She's grown into an impressive young woman--3rd in her class of ~425, headed to Drury University (a small college in Missouri I hadn't heard of before, but it seems to have really good programs) for pre-med.

Hey guys. Sorry I missed the memorial and the live stream. David, if I haven't said it, condolonces for you and your family.

The only excitement we've had down here was my folks in Houston losing power or a day or so after the storm, and even then they had the generator Dad installed after the big freeze a few years ago.

Shir, glad to hear you had a good time in the States and may your luggage fly to you on wings of song.

We have an app, but it's not a standalone thing. It plays with our IAM products.

Right! I knew there was something I was meaning to hunt down!

Maybe we should attempt Seattleista coffee or something once a month rotating between our locations...

I am down for monthly seattlista attempts, or something!
