Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, my boss agrees with "Fellowship." Thanks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For those keeping score, there's another word you can't use on Mark Watches: Derp.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Making fun of people with intellectual disabilities, I'm sure.

I guess a derp face is like a gurn, or pulling a goofy face. And it's considered ableist because it's like making somebody with Downs. That seems to be the objection.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My blood pressure was notably high at the ER this weekend, and is still high for me now (112 over I-forget) I wonder if that's a thing, or just a coincidence.

Alan Alda is always on the TV at this doctors office. And by always I mean every time I've been here in the pat couple years. And this is the migraine doc, so that's not rarely. He must be making a significant chunk of change from this speciality niche. I wonder how many hours of footage he's filmed...damn, this is a stupid thing I'm about to go google.

I am not on top of this shit. Apparently I forgot an entire new med. It's like I recall a different last visit than he does. Though, since I wrote down an incorrect med on the list (no, I didn't take it this morning, no I didn't tell the ER I took it) I am totally willing to take the blame on that one.

So I go straight to the pharmacy with it, just in case my brain farts again, and something is wrong with the script. So much for getting that all taken care of at once. Still, better sooner than later.

Someone just came in and they couldn't find the prescription she was asking about, because it was filed under her dog's name. How had that never occurred to me before?

Come on, doc, call back. Let me wrap all this up.

Clearly I need to journal doctor's appointments in Evernote.

So the guy at the checkout line at Trader Joe’s was asking me: Who would win in a fight, Laura Ingalls or Anne of Green Gables?

Obviously it’s Laura Ingalls, right?
