It's Thursday, and I'm dreading today. I really don't know how my GYN appt is going to go. Not the diagnosis, but how badly it's going to hurt. I'm pretty good with. pain, and I do have weed now, but last time was SO bad that it's left a scar for many years. Nothing to do but go through it. Hopefully if I have pain, it's slightly shorter lived. I was going to see if the site would work me in for the Ultrasound I'm sure I will need, but I think I'll wait. We'll see how it goes.

Yesterday was very long. We've been getting killed this week at work. Just calls out the wazoo, and people out on vacation and out sick. It's been a mess. Yesterday we were so shorthanded that we had to pull people of doing the faxes and emails to get on the phones. That's how I ended up spending all day doing faxes. I don't mind doing them, but good lord, after a while, it gets tedious. On the plus side, we got the faxes down to about 10, from a starting point of nearly 200. And of course, more were coming in while we were doing it, so we probably killed off at least 400, because that fax was on fire yesterday. At one point, I was doing the new ones, and I swear, every time I did one, three more had come in. There were three of us actively working it at one point.

At 9:48am. I hopped into the Ticketmaster queue, and with some technological struggles, I was able to get Danny Elfman tickets. We're sitting in the balcony (which is the only place that has seats) in the first row. From the View From my Seat picture, it looks pretty choice.



I haven't gone to see someone I wrote a ton of porn about for years. It was fairly frequent when I was in wrestling fandom, but that was like 25 years ago. Since I'm not really in fandoms any more, it doesn't come up, but then this 73 year old motherfucker decided to tour.

I'm going to take like 2 hours PTO, and then we'll go down early, to avoid some traffic, and check in at the hotel and relax until it's time to go meet people for dinner. The show isn't til 8:30pm, so we were not going to be getting home at midnight. It will mean fighting DC traffic on the way home, but I'll deal. I'm going to take the morning off, so I won't need to be home til about 12:30.

During lunch, I went in to see baby, and she was SO sleepy.





I love the second picture, where she just looks like she's counting the minutes til she can nap some more.

After work, I decided to nap for 20min. So I go in the bedroom, and the cat greets me, and I lay down. Yoda is sitting outside the door whining because I dared to lock myself out of his reach. And then Lizzy starts meowing at him because she really wants to be his friend. I did not get much of a nap. You also have to know that Lizzy's meows sound like a sad bike horn. So I've got that and Yoda just whining his heart out.

I got up and started cooking early. In addition to the bacon and sausage, I made pancakes for Jess and eggs for my sister. It was a nice breakfast for dinner menu. It was pretty tasty. I kind of eyeballed the pancake recipe and almost forgot to add vanilla, but I caught myself. It turned out pretty well, though.

Tonight shall be basic hamburgers. I like to bake the patties, so it's super easy. I'll make my patties before I go to the appt, then Jess can throw them in the oven if I'm not up to doing it.

I have games every day this weekend, starting tomorrow with the Swedish horror one shot.

We realized that Monday, we'll have had Lizzy for one month! I'm thinking about getting her a tiny piece of sushi grade tuna and searing it for her as a little celebration.

With the Elfman concert, it turns out that we've got plans every month for the rest of the year. Sept was going to be our dry spell, but not so much. We've got Weird Al at the end of July, AEW Pro wrestling in August, Danny in Sept, the animation con in October, Undertale symphony in November, and Much Ado About Nothing in December. It's a lot. I'm still debating on a spring vacation, but we'll see. I was looking at the cruise again. The ship seems a bit of a letdown after the Koningsdam, and the food choices are not great. Everything that we'd probably do would be more money. The ship would be about the same size as the Konigsdam, but it's got a lot more entertainment shit, like a waterpark. We'd be going while kids were in school, though. I don't know. I'll think on it. Need to do research.

Okay, time for me to hop off and do some more prep work for the games and take a nice shower so I smell nice for the doctor. Everyone have a fantastic Thursday!
