Mmm, I want Cuban coffee at the office!!

Have been in Valparaiso Chile the past couple days. Sadly it's been terribly cloudy, so pictures haven't been great (and this is a town full of cute houses on hills and tons of street art--taking pictures is really most of what there is to do!). Tomorrow we head to another small town to hopefully see some of their wine festival.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Daaaang. CNN is projecting the Ohio GOP winner as Kasich.

Well, that's a little bit of good news, at least. I've seen reports that Rubio has dropped out after losing Florida to Trump.

Our wings are not tired.

Seriously, I don't usually indulge at the end of the day, but the Cuban office manager brought me a cup at 5:30 that she had added some vanilla to and it was so tasty.

Rubio's departing speech was long and annoying. Then the silly pundit talked about what a charismatic speaker he was. Huh?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not sorry to see Rubio go. Useless twat.

Does losing Ohio slow Drumpf's roll at all?

Compassionately intolerant

Thanks for all the good thoughts. The appointment today went okay. The new gyn is MUCH better and was pretty upbeat...but she found a mass that requires a transvaginal ultrasound . She wanted to schedule the test for tomorrow, but it probably won't be until the end of the month.

The blood draw was fairly typical now that I've mastered the sheer strength of will strategy for dealing with my phobia. It took forever, but I was able to keep it together until the very end. The phlebotomist was very kind, but quietly alarmed. I went into the bathroom to cry for a while and was able to get a healthy dinner afterward. Given that I had been fasting for 18 hours, it really is a miracle I didn't decompensate.

My right arm is useless to me right now and I'm as weak as a kitten, but this round is over.

Keeping you in my thoughts, bonny. And my best friend is a doctor who is always happy to answer medical questions so let me know if I can pass any along (also, given how close by you are, let me know if you need specialist recommendations because she's good for that too.)

Thank you so much, lisah. I will definitely ping you. I really thought menopause was a piece of cake for me. This current stuff is causing confusion and sadness. I have tons of questions!

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

Well, it increases the chances of a brokered convention...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I've been vibing for you constantly, bonny. I'm torn between sorry the news isn't better (and cursing my clearly insufficient vibery), relieved that your new GYN is so good, and sympathy-shuddering over the blood draw.

This. Plus, right now in Missouri, Cruz is only 0.5% behind Trump. So Trump might not win Missouri, either.

Been sending good thoughts to you all day Bonny. Thanks for the update. Good to hear you like the GYN. Quick resolution ~ma.

They really are reaping what they sowed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But who is left to siphon off votes from him? Cruz and Kasich? I don't see it happening
