I'm home at last, a day later than expected, and I am here to tell you: friends are awesome.

My train into not-exactly-Madison was delayed last week, which meant I showed up late and on a bus; truepenny and mirrorthaw not only waited patiently for me, they took me to my favorite used bookstore immediately afterwards, which effectively wiped all travel trauma from my ( Read more... )

Just for the record, that's a gift, not a loan. I found Black Gods and Scarlet Dreams, so my copy of Jirel of Joiry became redundant--and ripe for pushing on giving to friends.

It was wonderful to see you--even better to know you got home safely.

You = awesome. And yes, I think the Moore could be great fun to teach in a class about SFF.

OMG. I am VERY glad you are home safe and warm, and done for now with travel delays, -30 dead cars, and TRAIN DERAILMENTS. O_o

Of course, having gotten home, I now have to deal with grading. Blergh.

I'm very glad that you made it the rest of the way back safely (and I hope that I managed to NOT give my stomach bug, unlike Jackie). However, it was lovely to see you despite the chaos.

Well, no sign of stomach bug yet; let's hope that holds. Thank you so much for putting me up and feeding me!

Oh my goodness! I'm SO glad that you made it home safe and sound (eventually) and that you had such lovely friends taking care of you all along the journey! *HUGS*

Me too! I kept thinking of all the ways in which things could have been worse (they were many and various) and feeling grateful that they weren't. Also glad that I was going HOME and not fucking up anybody else's plans by not being there yet.
