Actually got in shortly after midnight last night, and I spent most of today hibernating. I'm recovering from a sunburn that left me temporarily looking like Mustafar!Vader (alas, the lava-crisped version, not the intact and sinisterly attractive version) and walking like Threepio, but otherwise, pretty good time. :) I'll have more details and ( Read more... )

I actually got in around midnight last night, but I crashed at Mom's and took another day off work to recover ( Read more... )

We've got a couple more days in Florida! (To make up for the two I spent driving the hell out of that porcelain bus.) Travelocity customer service put us through hell getting those days, but they're there. :) Instead of leaving tomorrow afternoon, we leave Sunday afternoon ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! *hugs* :) Today was, if rushed, MUCH better.
