Hope your keys show up ASAP, brenda, and you get to enjoy the dinner. Oaxacan (pronounced Wa-hock-an, for those of you not in the know) is delish, I'm glad either you or H will get to enjoy it, but hope you don't have to miss out.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, Epic! It's so hard when you've taxed your body beyond its parameters and you didn't know it because somebody moved the parameters.
Everybody's tired at the end of the trip but you can usually heft your suitcase into your house without going ass over teakettle into a Cyprus bush.
I'm glad you weren't alone, and I'm glad it was more indignity than injury.
But that's a suck way to finish off a lovely trip!

Our wings are not tired.
But I Just Couldn't Get to My Feet.
Oh, you must be so frustrated. I'm sorry the body is so dang uncooperative.

Def hoping Brenda’s keys have gotten there already and she is on the way!!
Epic that sucks a lot! I’m so sorry. I’m glad you didn’t hurt yourself further though—I was afraid that story was going to end with “and so I broke a bone”!

Oh, Epic, that sucks -- I'm sorry you had to deal with all of that. I'm glad your neighbors were able to help. Be kind to yourself as you heal up.
Hope the keys get there in time to make dinner, Brenda!
Quiet and hot day here. Yep. That's all I've got.
I hope you get better quickly, msbelle.

You're right - silver lining! Other than a tiny aforementioned break to the skin of my elbow, still fully intact! (Or at least as intact as I was at the start of the trip!)

Thrive to spite them
Oh Epic I'm glad you are ok but that sounds so frustrating.
Endoscopy is over. The Dr took some biopsies and said he thinks I have silent reflux and if he mentioned anything else I don't remember and M doesn't. If I have to do any other procedure where I have to go under anesthesia I'm going to ask if I can record what they tell me after because M gets focused on me and he gets anxious so he just doesn't remember. I think the Dr mentioned Barrett's esophagus but I'm not sure. It will take a week to get the results. In the mean time he prescribed a different type of antacid than I was taking before . And I have a follow appointment in a month

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's so frustrating, Epic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Epic, that's rough. Bodies springing surprises like that, no fun.
