Last Lazy Saturday Until Mid-July
First, some good news: the dragon boat festival has been rescheduled for May 31-June 1, so I can compete with the team!!
To be honest, it's a little bit of a mixed blessing, because Stan and I were going to go to New York that weekend, but he is very understanding. At least New York will still be there about 6 weeks later. (I have a weekend at Disney and then 3 weeks in Asia after that)
Today I got to talk with Ikanbills, courtesy of Skype, and that was a very cool thing (first time we've chatted on the phone). And yesterday, I got a call from Eddie, who has been trying to get me all week...we finally connected because I drove into work and he happened to call when I was on the road. Yay!!
Something kind of strange happened last night. I went to see Iron Man. (no, that's not the strange part) Anyway, there's a scene near the beginning involving a military convoy in Afghanistan. I won't give away the plot here, but I will say that I got more than a little freaked out during that scene. Nervous, heart racing, even shaking a little. Not good. I don't know if that was a natural response based on my experiences, or if I reacted that way because the media says that's how people like me are reacting to stuff. Either way, I'd appreciate it if that didn't happen again.
Oh, and we had cupcakes last night. Not the fantasmaorgasmic ones from Cake Love, but they were small, round bits of cake with icing, and that was good enough for me.

I think waking up to find a car battery-operated electromagnet hooked up to your chest is even scarier.
