Sail, I'm sorry about Elliot. It's so hard, even though it's the right thing to do.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sail, I hope you were able to get out of the house and distract yourself today. I'm sorry that it is so difficult.
Hil, I hope you are feeling better soon. Try not to overdo it.
Asthma and acid reflux are both keeping me from actually lying down and going to sleep tonight. I may try to sleep on the couch for a while, propped up.
I can be a little iffy about wheat beers, but Snapshot really stood out to me as head and shoulders over most. Nice citrusy-tart finish that just kept my mouth all happy and perky.
I like Snapshot for that too - the tart notes come from them blending some of their house lactobacillus (which they use for their sour Lips of Faith beers) in - a great idea for wheat beer, which personally I find to be a pretty boring and too-sweet style. The lacto tarts and dries the beer up, and lets the citrus from the hops and flavor from the added grains to shine without overwhelming.
You know, if you like that kind of thing.
Got up at 4 am so we could get to the first appointment at the clinic at 6 am. Currently waiting for a lumbar puncture test, running a little late. At 2 pm he does a pulmonary function test, and at 3 there is an echo cardiogram. These occur in two different buildings, fortunately right next to each other.
And on Thursday we're back up here for pre admittance consults. It's a good thing I took vacation this week.
I'm suspecting that these clinics aren't making the Top 10 Vacation Destination List.
I admitted to Hubby that I was going to treat his admittance to the hospital like a sort of vacation, and he said he didn't blame me. A month off from early morning runs to the clinic.
You gotta do something to keep sane, Connie.
Laura, I strongly feel that deserves a rimshot.
One of the local brew taverns offers barley wine. I wonder whether it is closer in taste to a dry wine or to a beer. (Too many of my meds conflict with alcohol for me to find out first hand.)

I'd say neither. It's a strong beer style, rich, malty, boozy, warming. It's called a barley"wine" because its alcohol content is similar to that of wine's. (11-14%~ish)

The alternative is to burn out completely.
Internet and network is down at work. I've sent everyone home. And am finally reading the vaccination guidelines that I only skimmed when I got them in March. It's the only non-computerized task a I have left. I have so much work but it's all in the network tubes or that other series of tubes, the internets.
The guys next door are playing with sirens.
Their job is better today. Their job is better a lot of days.
