this post is probably crossing the TMI line

I'm home resting for a few hours, and regretting that I'm not more active here anymore, and therefore have no idea if anyone is around to talk to me. Time was, I would absolutely know who, in which timezone, would likely be a) online and b) interested in a fannish discussion.

Possibly the only thing I'm fannish about right now is the Hola! program I discovered when watching the Olympics. It let me (and my computer) be British for the purposes of listening to sane announcers and seeing the entirety of the events I wanted to see. But! Did you know I can also be Canadian, eh? Yes, and therefore stream hdtv.ca home improvement shows, which are much more generously provided about two hours North of where I actually live.

Anyway, I'm home with abdominal "issues" (see? I can be sensitive) which I have not really had since I was a little person. As a result, I am nostalgic for things that have given me comfort in the past. Before you ask, since the wedding plans have hit "BEARS!" levels of messed up, I'm really not craving my family, heh.

General affection to all of you!

I am sorry that you are having 'issues' those blow mightily. I am sending you waves of wellness and deep affection back.

And the icon is for the way I often times get around my family, and I have never planned a wedding so I cannot imagine.

You ain't just whistlin' dixie. The wedding planning is about what I expected, though I never could have predicted the details. E and I have decided on a "divide and herd" approach, whereby I deal with my mother (full-time occupation--Dad helps), and he handles his side, which has more people who are Very Excited, but they are each much less dangerously obsessed than my Mom. So yeah. If you are anticipating the kind of shenanigans your family tends to create? Do not, even for a minute, believe the people who try to tell you that whatever is a beautiful lifetime event full of unicorns and butterflies. They are totally lying.

I have just committed to training my students via text message for the rest of the afternoon (I'm in PST). Has it come to this???
