today's fantasy baseball grumble: it would've been nice to know that cabrera was getting the night off. because i would've moved burrell over from utility into OF, benched cabrera for the night, and pulled eckstein off the bench into util. which means i missed eck having a good night and going 4/5. grumble.

today is may 12th. tomorrow i fly to philly for midnight baseball with memerath, oh, right, and wedding #1. the next weekend is my last weekend to get anything remotely relaxing/productive done. the weekend after that is five year reunion. then tech week. then opera weekend (plus irchurch, and we're discussing sex and the sacred; i am so not missing that one). then wedding #2. and then i have to get serious about the housing hunt.

plus hopefully impending visits from rustnroses, ladysisyphus, and geebee_x. hooray!

and to think that this summer, i wanted to do things like go kayaking! (it has been way, way the hell too long since i've been on the water.) and start up those musical sundays i keep discussing with fes42 and hyounpark. and spend as much time as is humanly possible in bodies of water not enclosed in buildings. and spend time with the lj-less mel and mrieser before they move away. and road trip with hyounpark! and cape league games with fes42!

the good: getting to see memerath, theconvictor, slwands, geebee_x, elemmire7, and fractalspackle many times over the coming weekends. oh, right, and getting a well-deserved in-person apology on bended knee. *beams* (er, not from any of the above-mentioned.)

the bad: what's sleep?

also, i dug my tevas out last night to go to the brahms quintets with ben, and MY TOES ARE FREE. this makes me blissfully happy.

also, to those who called me last night: got your calls, but was in the aforementioned concert. trying again tonight?

8/12/23: I assume the cryptic was for whomever apologized to me? I guess I forgave them; I've forgotten why an apology was needed in the interim! LOL.
