I won't tell your secrets

I've arrived alive. The flight was extra long because a flight to Vegas got rescheduled onto our flight. "It's a direct flight." Um, no. "But you don't get off the plane, it continues onto San Fran, so it's a direct flight." Um, still no. But whatever. The inflight movie was The Manchurian Candidate which was pretty disappointing, but it did pass the time. To add insult to injury was having to pay five bucks for the box of airplane snacks. Note to self: no more America West. Except I will give them credit for getting my luggage to the baggage claim carrel in record-breaking time.

Lowenstein's friends are soooo sweet and generous. And they have two dogs and a cat. One of the dogs is a big rottweiler mix and I'm in love. Though I also like the cat who sleeps in the office with us and wants to be petted and loved until you pet the dog, and then when you touch her with the same hand she bites you. Sassy.

I'm leaving for my consult in half an hour, so I should get coffee and dressed. Thank you to everyone leaving nice comments and thinking good thoughts. Many friends were in my dream last night giving me advice on my upcoming surgery. Including Miss Rook who said I should remember to 'yank & crank' which was her code to take a deep breath then puke the moment I wake up. Also, [livejournal.com profile] mintwaster was there and carrying around a bag with two at-home pregnancy tests.

That's all for now. Today will hopefully involve shopping and then sushi for dinner -- a last supper for a little while.

hey man, five bucks is cheap!

i think it's standard now that people in coach class must pay for their in-flight meals. the last united flight i took, i had to pay $10 for my meal. pfeh.

good luck with everything out there! and hey, for a "last supper" (for awhile, not forever!) sushi is pretty cool!

PS: I'm sorry I missed your Dragon Room gig, it's a long story that I won't bore you with the details of now... but suffice it to say that I was upset that I missed it and heard you did an awesome job!

I hope everything goes well...I'm sure it will. It'll be like you close your eyes and then blink and you're awake again and the surgery is over....well, that was exactly like it went for me. It's really weird I think. Anyway. Enjoy SanFrancisco too while you're there!
