403: forbidden

Between roughly March and mid-October, I was shuffling from the homes of friends* to relatives' and back again, spending half a week in either so as not to wear out my welcome, and heading out to Leavenworth (location of free housing, far from doctors & therapists) when I couldn't manage one of the transitions. It was exhausting and left me in a constant state of social overextension.

I am presently approaching the end of week 4 of 5 on a sublease and am finally, every so often, starting to have a spoon to spare. Of course, after this, I'll be right back to what's become the ordinary grind. That will last for a week and a half, then at the end of the month I'm off to visit premchaia_pre4 for a couple of weeks. That will be nice.




* 95% kistaro, to whom I remain endlessly grateful.

Have arrived at my in-laws' house. Taking a bit of time to snack and recover brains, because doing that 'bed' thing in a new place requires setup. Mostly flailing at CPAP devices, because there's never a power outlet or a shelf quite where you need them.

Flights were somewhat crazy due to the airline rearranging us on very short notice. DFW was nuts due to construction and highly asthma-aggravating. We arrived in Seattle just about on our original timetable, though. It's a measure of how run-down I was feeling that I was in better shape disembarking at SEA than I initially was boarding at BOS.

I've slept ~13h so far today, and it's glorious. There'll be more where that came from.

So, Seattlites! I'm here until the 18th and free from the 9th - 17th. Drop me a line if you want to have lunch or something. :)

After ~24h in transit, I'm home. It's a good feeling.

Going to fall over now.

Visiting places is great. Traveling to and from them is awful by any method.

Haven't been home yet. Since I have an evening class, zeightyfiv suggested that we nap on the couches at his office rather than dragging all the way home. Was a good idea.

Safely at home in Seattle. Falling over, now.

I'll be in Seattle from 11/24 - 11/28. Anyone want to get together for lunch or something while I'm out there?

You will get lost on the way in. And then again on the way out.

zeightyfiv and I are heading to Milwaukee for the wedding of two friends. At the moment, we've gotten an extra 1.5h and counting of layover in Baltimore, due to the weather just west of here. They let us off the plane after the first hour. ~30min until the pilots get another update from air traffic control.

Wheeee.

ETA 21:09: "The path that this particular aircraft is scheduled to travel remains closed due to the weather." The plane needs to go to our destination, so they're not going to cancel the flight. We all just wait until the weather permits us to go somewhere.

ETA: 23:50 Central time: On the ground in Milwaukee. Landed about an hour ago. About five minutes after the last update, they told us to get on the plane ASAP 'cause we'd been given clearance to depart. Turbulent ride, even including the detour into Canada to avoid the main area of the storm.

Thanks to the airplane, I now have a *really* strong interest in what kind of chiropractic care my health plan will cover.

More later.
