You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

The cloud bread sounds do-able, Jesse.

I can't have potatos either (I am aggressively treating type 2 diabetes, but it is working (my blood sugar is normal on less than 30 g carbs per day including vegetables)) but I would love potato latkes!

Also cheese on cauliflower!

I am also lactose intolerant, but since the metformin gives me the same problems as the cheese, I am just giving up on dealing with that. I can't live without carbs OR cheese!!

I am glad Steph was OK in her MRI

I am also glad that tommy has a good line on a job and Dana's husband is interviewing.

Anything else I am missing?

ETA: I am so glad it would be cost prohibitive to turn my school into open plan, because it was the nurse's dormitory and we basically each have a tiny, 1930's dorm sized office. Sometimes two people share. The only people who have had walls knocked out are the Dean and the CFO.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Looks like my dad is home, or at least his phone is. Yay!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That Apple thing looks so unappealing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I had leftover spinach and mushroom white pizza for lunch, and it was far too rich and made me ill. Blegh.

Because books.

How long have you been on the metformin, Sophia? It took me a little while to get used to. You really have to be careful to take it WITH a meal, too. Also, yay you! That's incredible about your blood sugar/diet -- and incredibly arduous to do right.

That purple should be plummier. It's too gray and flat to me.

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

(I am aggressively treating type 2 diabetes, but it is working (my blood sugar is normal on less than 30 g carbs per day including vegetables))

Congrats on that, Sophia, I know it's hard to stick to!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I think that purple is about two shades darker than Vikings purple. I I like it better than Vikings purple. I don't feel I have an opinion about how Prince-ly it is.

Yay for surviving the MRI, Steph! Vibing for good news, yet hoping for actual answers for you.

Tommyrot, I'm glad you've got a nibble on the job search.

Job~ma for Dana's hubby.

Amy, it has been about 5 months. I am on a low dose of extended release, and I switched to breakfast taking, rather than dinner, which seems to work better and not have me wak up to a literal shit show!

It is hard, so thanks Zen- it helps that I feel about 1000 times better than I did, and the two times I slipped I felt terrible. But my anxiety is through the roof- I had to way cut back on caffeine to manage my heartbeat!

Husband is on the phone, doing an interview post-mortem with a current coworker, which is great, but it's been like an hour and I'm starving.

Coding and Sleeping

So Trump is doubling down on the both sides are the blame narrative. It's the same pattern over and over. Trump does something terrible, they do damage control, and then Trump just goes right back to the first thing. There were literal Nazis marching in the street! How fucking hard is it to condemn that! Literal. Fucking. Nazis.
