It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Whoa, Zenkitty, you were right, they are not gonna call it Superbowl L, at least not in the official graphics. Apparently the "L" is "not pleasing to the eye".

I do not approve of this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

AND, as I had hoped, my father is much better this morning. It's taken him 24 hours to recover from the previous seizures, so I was expecting that, but it's still a little disconcerting -- he could not wake up yesterday, even when the doctor pinched him! He complained about the pinching, but still in his sleep, basically.

I'm glad he's better. Not waking up with pinching sounds scary.The meds he's going back on do a good job of preventing these?

Yeah, apparently -- he hadn't had one while he was taking it.

Well, I hope they keep working.

Because books.

Do they know what's causing them, Jesse?

Nope, just general brain fucked-upded-ness.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had Ethiopian food for dinner last night. Tasty, but perhaps not the best thing to eat when my acid reflux is acting up. Then again, when its acting up, very little food sits well. Time to get Pepcid or Prilosic.

Oh Jesse and Conseula, I'm sorry. It's so hard.

ita, the ed place that I knew had a PM job for sure must of filled it and now it's just support (which I am hoping Katie will apply for because she'd be great doing this: [link]

I've heard the district might have some PM positions for tech rollouts, but it's clusterfucky. But when I dig around for them, I don't get PMs but other stuff. Want me to forward to you?

In other news Grace had a fever yesterday and a surgery on Tuesday. She's fine right now, but it's as if she knows the surgery is coming and works herself up to feverishness.

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

Timelines! (Eta autocorrected word)

I'm sorry for your loss, Sail.

My doctor's office left me a message--my MRI was "basically ok" but there are a few minor issues he wants to talk to me about. I'm guessing it's the "mini-strokes" they found 9 years ago--hopefully he can tell me what they really are.

The wieirdest thing about the MRI was when they gave me the injection I barely felt it. At first I wasn't even sure he had actually put the needle in.
