[trip] ah. cool. it says my second flight is delayed two hours. so it's going to be 9:35 in seattle when I get in if nothing changes.

once the dryer finishes and I pack my shorts I think I'm pretty much ready to go. I've got a couple things charging last minute but otherwise

Well I’m at my gate now. Pretty sure I got everything.

If I didn’t. Well. Oh well. There are stores in Washington.

there are stores! there is also Friend Support Network

That’s true

All the stores are owned by the woke and people with blue hair and pronouns tho

That’d be a nice change

god i wish that was true this is amazon territory

My first flight was also delayed I did make it to Seattle though

Made about eight wrong turns trying to escape baggage claim and my horror of windowless spaces in airports from when I was detained for 23 hours in Heathrow came back a little I could not fucking find the right way to get to the light rail but I finally got there

And an hour of transit later made it to the home of FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ who is putting me up and who even fed me and now I am going to sleep on his couch

FOOD IS IMPORTANT

"even fed me" they say as though he wasn't lying in wait with Food For Friend, as he does

Mac and cheese is much better than beef jerky and graham crackers

Things I ate in airports: some beef jerky I brought from home and two overpriced vanilla Greek yogurt bars I bought with a bottle of water at the stupid overpriced newsstand

Breakfast was sausage biscuits and a long time ago

I’ve been awake for eighteen hours x.x

that was NOT mac and cheese that was boxed dinner cheesy noodles with ham in because if i don't eat protein i remain hungry nazd have blood sugar incidents

[cracks knuckles] another victim of nael's mac and cheese approaches...

they don't approach; they have arrived!

yeah but i have to defrost the cheese about it

but the victim is here

... and also check our noodle stash i think we may in fact be running out of pasta again

Suddenly vividly reminded of fanfics playing word games with “the one with the power to defeat the dark lord approaches”

lmao

Read one fic where Snape was like yeah it didn’t even occur to me that that would mean lily’s baby because why would I think approaches meant gestating. I thought it meant an adult arriving from abroad

[laughs in tales of the abyss]

cygna can tell you. I LOVE playing fast and loose with prophecy meanings

I was really hoping to get an actually restorative amount of sleep but I appear to have the jet lag
