Boo on unfun parent visit!
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

sj, I do that about writing stuff, sometimes. She would have loved to hear about the nibble I got in January, if not that it's still not a go, yet, afaik--and even if she'd been married too long to understand why part of me might have traded it for, you know, actual nibbling, though maybe fewer words from me might help that cause, too.(It's kind of a girly story that's taken me about ten years to "perfect"...it made me think of her a lot.) On a semi-related note, my counsel would almost surely be less delicate but maybe I could offer a fresh perspective on your situation, or maybe just hear you out--would that help, or not? I'm here, but no pressure, either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think Wall-E warned us about the hoverchairs, though.
Look, if we're going to destroy the economy and the environment ANYWAY, I'd at least like to get a hoverchair and cupcake-in-a-cup out of it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dang it, the Ladies Night at the Forge blacksmithing class was supposed to be this Friday (the 11th), but the class was cancelled because I was the only one who signed up. I can definitely re-schedule it, but at this point it won't be until the fall, because my carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand is on the 28th of this month, and then after I recover from that I get the surgery on my left hand (I'm guessing June or July), and I'm not going to do blacksmithing in the summer anyway because my perimenopausal self will spontaneously combust from the combination of Cincinnati summer heat and humidity AND a forge. So, I'll give it a shot in the fall, when the temperatures are reasonable and both hands are working properly. (Seriously, my right hand is fucked. It's like 90% numb, except for the pinky. It's so weird.)

Fall seems like the more correct season for blacksmithing. And fully functioning hands seem like they might be a good thing to have while doing it if that's an option. I'm sorry you have to wait, though!

Concur, but also, bummer.
I was all over the place today. Tomorrow I need to do some plotting and planning before I start doing.

That sucks, I hope you can reschedule for fall!
I made it on the plane. But did not get food, did not use the bathroom, and am sitting next to a dude who reeks of BO. Ugh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to Toronto this past weekend for FilKOntario. Had no problems getting into and out of Canada, but I am a middle-aged white woman, so your Border Crossing May Vary.
(A number of the Americans at the con were sporting "I'm sorry about the 'President'" buttons. Wish I could have one, but I'm still a federal employee)
