Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Summary:

"Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

hockey

hockey draw - woot!

I made foccacia. It was good.

We also drew our hockey game on Sunday! 1-1!

(We won for the first time a couple of weeks back and it was Very Good.)

( hockey report )

I've spoken about how this is a tricksy year for hockey in a post earlier this year. But I am enjoying some of the games, even when we're getting beaten. And we are improving.

But it can still be frustrating to see players who aren't ready for this grade (and aren't improving) struggle in the face of it.

ugh day

If I do nothing else today, I'm going to make foccacia.

update: I have survived the funeral. nothing terrible happened aside from some guilt-trips. nobody made a scene. huzzah!

now I'm getting a drink in the hotel bar because fuck this day. XD

complicated days

on the one hand, I'm in Michigan because my brother asked me to attend our father's memorial service. so I'm in emotional shutdown survival mode and probably will be until sometime next week when this is over.

on the other hand, I got a date for top surgery! (picture me trying to coordinate with the surgical scheduler on mychart while on moving walkways in the Detroit airport yesterday, which was an EXPERIENCE.) barring insurance and hospital fuckery, it'll be September 11. 75 days left to go. \o/

ponderings

I kind of want to request more options for Just Married. But I don't have the time or energy to write a letter. This weekend is non-stop. Tonight I opted out of a movie I kind of wanted to see (Mickey 17 if you were wondering) because I'm just THAT TIRED and wanted time out.

I have no idea if these are valid, or behind paywalls or what. They're just articles I've been collecting for a bit.

( various links and whatnot )

I mean, I'm happy, but also tired... And I don't really have time to write (or do anything) right now. Partly work, but partly also my life, and partly also *gestures at the world* You know.

Have I mentioned that I've managed to grow broccoli in the garden? It's kind of AMAZING.

I don't have a more recent pic of the 'broccoli bed' (the one with the netting on it) where the broccoli are larger-sized. I'll try to take one tomorrow morning.

well, my estranged father apparently died on the 16th. I found out on Facebook. I just texted my brother for the first time in 10 years because I guess I no longer have to worry about things getting back to my father. I have no idea how I'm feeling about this yet.
