[272/365] I'm back!

[cosmolinguist]

I had a blessedly uneventful journey, except that the long flight was stressful because my phone wouldn't charge and I worried it was actually finally broken, and I also worried I'd lost my current favorite mask. Which I do seem to have; I've unpacked everything and it's nowhere to be found. We can get more, but probably not in time for me to go to London on Monday. Annoying.

Since I got home Gary has been very happy to see me, and I've had a great shower and then gone out with diffrentcolours for food and to see a gig his friend's band is playing. He got a pretty positive answer when he asked the venue about ventilation, though the results we're actually finding here are decidedly more mixed. Still it's nice to be out, nice to do something normal. Nice to be up until a sensible bedtime!

Glad you are safely home. Argh re phone - how fucking annoying and stressful. I'm glad you managed a joyful evening and hope you can find suitable masks for Monday.

The night soured for us when it turned out the venue being less good than expected ended up meaning we missed the band D's friends are in, which is a shame, but it was still nice to spend the time with him.

I saw that in the Mastodon, not enough FFS for venue twats who lie, rather than being honest! Well done for enjoying what you could and not letting fuckwits detriment your Covid-security attempts.

Hope you make it to London and have a great time there. My favourite city.

Oh I have to go to London, It'll just be with a less-good mask.

Welcome home!

Thank you!

Welcome back. Sorry about the missing mask, glad the phone got itself sorted, though.

And boo about the less great ventilation at the venue.

You're a superman!

you've traveled halfway around the world and supported your parents through a super-stressful move and damn I'm impressed.

I hope you have some lazing-around-in-bed time scheduled.

I slept past noon today, and stayed in bed until about 3. It was great.

I too am impressed as even normal-physical-spoons humans would find that a HUGE thing nevermind the psychoemotional impacts of it all. Sending Erik ongoing vibes for resting/recovery/sanity/home-humans-of-excellence.
