There and Back Again
I am home from San Francisco. Where most of you didn't know I even went until just now. I got home at about 3:30 am on Saturday after sitting in the Detroit airport for 4 hours waiting for the plane's mechanical problems to get fixed. I know, that's not even close to the longest wait ever and the worst part really was just listening to the stupid people around me complain. But! I did get to spend quality time with merhawk last Sunday so that made the entire trip worth it -- even dancing with the rhythmless middle-aged white men at the closing party.
I spent today down at the shore, shopping with my family, even though Harry Potter arrived bright and early this morning. (Yesterday morning, whatever.) I am reporting back to the homestead tomorrow for joint birthday party dinner and I have not yet unpacked or performed various other errands that will be done tomorrow. Also, I have no milk.
The point of all that was to say that I'm estimating finishing the Harry Potter book sometimes before Dexcon, I hope. In the meantime, I'm skimming my friends list with one eye closed to avoid spoilers and I'm most likely going to miss a lot of other stuff.
Thank you to ladyfuriae, sa_proto, elissa_carey, and opal_kitten for coming to have fondue with me Friday night before I left and sniffing candles with Lisa. :) The rest of you -- you missed some good fondue. Also, thanks to everyone who called me and sent emails last week, I will answer them as soon as I can. Work will be very busy next week because they keep insisting on scheduling these conferences in the first half of the month when all my stuff is due. Whoops.
Sleepy now.
