So, I've been awakened at 8:30 by yesterday's Plumber #1 calling to see if Plumber #2 got there alright and was able to help. I didn't answer, of course, I was too busy going, "Grslpxlnrf?" But I called back, got his voicemail, and said "John got here, the tub works now, although the stuff you put in it sort of dissolved it. But it's okay. It works."
That may have been a little passive-agressive, but he dissolved my tub and then woke me up the next day.

I just had my very first Music GoH slot at Apollocon 2009 in Houston, Texas!
( Getting there. )
( Friday. )
( Saturday. )
( Sunday. )
Coming home, was, thankfully, routine.
Now here I am, after a dinner of pizza, watching NBC's Listener with Benet, getting ready for bed.
I hope y'all had a great weekend too.

So, after the "gallbladder attack" (I don't know what else to call it) in Kentucky, the hospital was all, "Get on the plane, get treatment right away at home!" And I got here, and now they're all, "We've made you an appointment. For a consult. On Tuesday. You'll be fine so long as you eat the blandest foods known to man. Go to the ER if anything happens."
So, in the same spirit, I got a train ticket for Tuesday night. It was forty bucks. If the consultation goes well and they're all, "You've got an appointment for surgery in a week," I'll go to Cedar Point and Marcon. If it doesn't go well, I won't.
Stupid gallbladder. Oh, well.

Some of y'all may or may not have heard that I went to the ER this morning for severe abdominal pain. Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dapatty for driving me, and her sister for bringing me flowers, and especially her mom for bringing me books.
I'm leaving on a flight to WI tomorrow; I'm not sure if I can come to Marcon or not; I have gallstones, but those may or may not be the direct cause of this morning's, er, distress.
( Ultrasound of my gallbladder below. )
Thanks for all the warm wishes and support. I've got to say, this has been a pretty strange experience so far and I don't think it'll be getting any more normal. But. I feel better now, I know what not to eat, I know the end is in sight, and hey, bonus - we may have discovered a way to help my chronic heartburn.
I'm gonna be just fine. Love you all.

I'm in Kentucky! I have been for a while, but there's been some stuff to do. The twins were born prematurely, and arrived before I did, but they are healthy and very cute, and really, who can blame them for coming early when they were already more than five pounds apiece?
The trip down with dapatty was fine, genbean, aka The Mommy, is in good health, if exhausted, spiral_lamentia is beautiful as ever, and things seem to be puttering along like they do.
I'm a bit tired and occasionally find myself in the midst of a debate fueled by Jane- or Ian-logic (4 and 8, respectively), but by and large, things are going pretty well, and the cute-baby crack is readily available.
Looking forward to Marcon. And maybe a trip to Cedar Point.

In just a little while, dapatty and I will be on the road back to Kentucky.
It's been a long two weeks since I posted. The twins (genbean's, click for pictures) I was going to see born got born already, Mom thinks she has swine flu, and the paperwork from the wreck might have an end in sight. benet and dapatty and I all went to The House On The Rock of American Gods fame, though, and we've gotten some around-the-house things done and... I'm gonna be okay. Damnit.
Anyway, I am now officially yes totally I'm pretty damn sure going to Marcon. Yay! I'm feeling pretty good about fannish things in general, because someone totally random came up to me last night and congratulated me on my Apollocon guestship.
And that's about all for now.

There is a time and a place when Mitch Hedberg becomes completely, hysterically funny. I mean, he's pretty funny already, but like can't-breathe-my-ribs-actually-hurt funny.
That place and time? In front of your computer in your underwear after trying to isolate said computer's problem with its new RAM all day and playing too much LEGO Star Wars and drinking can after can of strategically-flattened mango soda, at 3:19 AM.
Just so you know.

( Coming Home to FilKONtario... )
This post has been brought to you by the number twenty-seven, the exclamation point, and other people's helpful and photographictastic posts.
I had a great time, and cannot wait to see y'all at the next con. (Also, DucKon is going to be seriously amazing. Evil plans are already in the offing.)

The RAM came! Already! Tiger Direct is scary fast, and me?
Well, I fixed the computer. *dancedancedance*
I feel like it's running a little slowly, but it's running, and it probably just needs a little time to remember who it is. Also, licketysplit as our Cylon might be, it's getting on three years old, and benet's Black Friday 2008-acquired laptop probably does have a leg up on it speedwise.
Anyway, it's done. Yay!

Free Will Astrology says:
"A famous Youtube video shows a small crab perched on top of a giant jellyfish that's swimming in the ocean. (It's here: tinyurl.com/6ulpoe.) Apparently this is a common phenomenon. The species known as the graceful rock crab not only grabs free rides on jellyfish, but also steals food from them as it does. This creature is your role model, Cancerian. See if you can develop a safe and symbiotic relationship (perhaps temporarily) with a big stinging blob. At the very least, wangle some benefit out of a clueless behemoth."
Huh.

benet spent the night in Chicago sleeping like a rock and is safely through security, waiting for an on-time plane.
8) I'm going to bed now.

( Busking. )
Next: toast and jam, a big mug of tea, and Whedon's Dollhouse. dapatty says it's getting to the point where I'd be interested, and she's usually right about these things.

Well, Benet's off on the bus to Chicago, and then tomorrow morning his flight leaves for Costa Rica. Send calm vacationtastic thoughts his way, 'cause my boy needs a nap.
Tonight I think I'll go out for the annual Reinforcin' O' tha' Stereotypes, busk a little.

I'm not a Mal girl. Nathan Fillion was good in "Waitress" and PGPorn and Dr. Horrible and all, but I never saw the capital-A Appeal. But as Rick Castle, he's just so damn charming! dapatty was right, he's just made of charm. He's like that travel author in Black Books.
