I'm back, part 2

[cjsmith]

I've caught up on LJ as much as I'm going to. It's not much, but hey, it's some. :-)

In another two or three days I will know whether I caught what was going around. There were a couple of unhappy cases there. Rosemary, I hope you're starting to feel a bit better by now.

Beware of 31-minute flight connections. That's from landing to takeoff, not from the door of one gate to the waiting area of another. If I'd called for a wheelchair, or if I'd walked in a less painful manner, or perhaps even if I'd been seated in the rear half of the incoming aircraft, I would have slept in Denver last night.

Okay, one more sober note. The priest made a good point during the funeral Mass. What should dominate our thoughts "is not last Wednesday," he said, indicating the day of the death. "It's the eighteen years that went before last Wednesday." So true. Our deaths might be timely or un, quick or drawn-out, painful or peaceful -- but what matters more than that is what we choose to do with our lives.

Didn't last long, fortunately. Mostly back to my-normal by the next day. That's not so sucky. :)

Cool.

BTW (OT) I dreamed the other day that I met you at a con. I asked you if you were cj, and you kind of rolled your eyes and said how many 5'2" women [meeting these specifications] do you know?

(I don't know your real height, and don't remember the specifications you provided, but I know you've given some stats in prior posts.)

*chuckle* That's close! (I'm five-three. And I don't even look very unusual, if the specifications you're thinking of are the ones I'm thinking of!)
