Back in cinch

[wendyzski]

I'm so glad that Ari and I went to the memorial together - I'm exhausted and my nose feels like it's been sandpapered. Tears are still leaking at intervals.

There were 5 wenches and one rogue there, and 4 of the wenches went garbed. I got through my speech somehow, and I read the names of every wench who commented on the board thread, and those who commented on my lj on facebook. I needed to tell these people how many lives Lori touched. They needed to know what they had in their midst.

And I'm sorry hon, but I still don't think 'Napoleon Dynamite' was funny.

Then Clay talked a bit while I recovered my composure, and then I read Capi's note. Trey did video most of it, so I'll let people know when and where it gets posted.

Later that evening, we had Trey and Laura and Clay back at the hotel for pizza and chatting. Pepper was nicely social except for occasional random pooping.

After breakfast I met up with CheezToni while Ari went back to help Clay clear some stuff from the apartment .( I couldn't help with that because of my allergies. We took some fabric and crafts stuff back with us - and a fair amount of laughter and tears as we found some ... Err ... Interesting fabric choices. I can almost understand the appeal of what seems to have bee The Loudest Jester Fabric In The World, but the Old Man Bermuda Shorts Fabric still puzzles us.

We stopped by her parents place for a last visit and a tour of the picture wall of Lori and her sister growing up. I got to snuggle NekkidPudgie (a recent cut made her almost pretty) before my allergies drove us out. Hit Cinci near dark and then we had a chance to talk some more. Pepper is in her pen in the kitchen and I'm on the couch mooching the neighbor's wireless.

I'll post when I get back but it'll likely be well into evening by the time I have the car turned in and get back home on the bus
