@TheRealBnut If Trudeau had a mustache I might have to emigrate.

When one is going to sleep alone in a foreign country, it helps to have a bedtime story. #captainmidniteridesagain
Party recovery mode. Ugh.
I’ve taught a lot of people to knit over the last ten years. Today was one of the most special.
Today’s highlights: meeting women rescued from human trafficking & teaching them to knit. Getting Canva running locally (like the Eng team).
Both humbling experiences in very different ways.
Feeling incredibly grateful for the luck, opportunities & advantages I’ve had. I need to remember this next time I feel sorry for myself.
@drkknits There was a two-year-old. TWO. I just can’t even. We are so fortunate.
@drkknits It was a surprisingly positive experience. The shelter is nice. The girls are so friendly. They called me Auntie Kris.
@drkknits It’s only now, 10 hours later, that my chest tightens just thinking about why they were there.
One week… CAN YOU STAND IT??! https://t.co/FYufbaFSzb https://t.co/soMCFJcpDr
@glasnt Awwww, thank you!
Okay Philippines. Let’s go! https://t.co/IkzMlqDbMn https://t.co/uMStAv7HNr

This has been a very long day. https://t.co/nxWNyZZFsL https://t.co/2DR9A8lv2C
@that_alison Nah, this isn’t the “night terrors” one. I went for the pricey but less side effects option. 🙂
Deadpool just finished. Now I’m impressing @TheRealBnut and @Astarael with my excyclopedic knowledge of Salt-n-Pepa lyrics.
No, I haven’t packed yet. But I did find the mythical “aqua shoes.” https://t.co/wxy367s2A4
@TheRealBnut I tipped off Elaine via Slack. She’s running to Broadway now!!
@TheRealBnut I think the Kmart/Target advice was the problem.
@saberkite Did you say MANGOES???
@saberkite OOOHHH, nice. Mango season is pretty much over here.
@indefensible We moved away from them recently. Just in time, it seems…
Packed 12 hours before the taxi arrives? That’s unpossible. https://t.co/T1nHMNfHmJ https://t.co/ooC5EwcyA1
@stufromoz Nah, Philippines!
@stufromoz Work and fun. 🙂
@gilmae Don’t even, with that. I made all sorts of lists. I AM SORTED.
@TheWonkaTonka Incidentally, we’re working out dates for a US visit. I’m hoping to be able to swing through Michigan in mid-June maybe?
@TheWonkaTonka …with an amount of Tim Tams for you that will definitely attract the attention of Customs.
@TheWonkaTonka BAH. They’re not right. We’ve got like 10 different varieties here. Piña colada, FTR, is pretty gross. Peanut butter = GOOD.
Holy crap! Just discovered that Medibank accepts claims for my anti-malarial, and I just got half the cost back. EXCELLENT.
@sebastiangrail Is that all you’re taking?!! (Oh god. Did I overpack?)
@sebastiangrail Oh PHEW.

@randomknits Same! Need to get my mojo back.
@gilmae I hadn’t seen that particular link, but I’ve been a fan of @kosamari’s knitting + code talks and adventures for some time now! 🙂
@gilmae @kosamari Nah, I only found out about her stuff before CampJS last year. I’m not into the machine stuff myself (yet)…
@gilmae @kosamari She did a great knitting talk at JS Conf though that I’ve since seen referenced a zillion times! https://t.co/z4Vqnk2PAr
Very fun to run into @clepetit today, even though I totally didn’t know he was in the country and thus nearly snubbed him as a random.

@stevelikesyou @diversionary *groans*
@stufromoz @clepetit Ha! I’m not sure exactly – we met at some tech event. For a while he was kicking my ass on Fitbit, IIRC.
@diversionary @stevelikesyou I LITERALLY ROLLED MY EYES.
@mobywhale Oh, I met a friend of yours tonight at @i386’s birthday drinks. Jared? He said you said hello. 🙂

Just took my first anti-malarial pill. Wheeee!
@TheRealBnut Malarone
@TheRealBnut Mine suggested it. The others are cheaper but you have to take for longer and they have some nasty side effects, it seems.
