Yay, -t.
Good luck, Suzi!
Thanks for checking in about your dad, msbelle -- I kept wondering how his surgery had gone at the wrong moments.
Holy shit, y'all! I just found out that a friend of mine in NYC dated Trump decades ago. She is terrified by the prospect of him being President—unsurprisingly, he had a monstrous ego and was a complete asshole way back then.
Holy shit!
For my part, I took a long walk and had lunch at a diner and am feeling much more together now after making myself cry this morning. I just knew the walk would do me right. I used to take a lot more long walks, but seeing my father at lunchtime on the weekends really fucks up my whole day, because 11 is about when I want to get going for the day. I realize there is plenty of time for stuff afterward, but then it's too easy not to get back out.
Strength for you getting through your dad's recovery, msbelle. And ~ma for him, of course.
Oh! And! My local PBS is showing the GBBO Master Class episodes! The last one is on now, but I watched half of another one at the diner.
~ma to Suzi and msbelle's dad.
-t, what's with the safety pin? Someone else mentioned it but I failed to get the memo, evidently.
I texted you because I was concerned, but I don't know if it went through.
I never got it, sj. I'm sorry I worried you, and I'm sorry I didn't text first. Because of post-election drama and other stuff, I never left my house until after 6.
Healing~ma for your dad, msbelle, and sanity~ma for your mom.
No problem, Maria. I knew you were upset and I was just worried about you driving because that's what I do.
Glad you're having a good day, -t. That's great.
Okay, I just made my Holy-Shit-Trump-Was-Elected appointment with my OB/GYN. I was actually overdue for my annual checkup anyway.
I'm trying to think of things I need to do. I am not a very street smart person. I am not good at strategy. I knew enough to renew my passport a couple months ago but I didn't do anything more than that (mostly because the obvious thing would have been getting financial resources together and I hardly have any of those). I need to go to the med center right now to try to get the labs my doctor ordered 2 weeks ago. And I should see if I can accelerate any healthcare stuff before that gets yanked away. But what things are people doing personally to try to prepare?
The short answer is it's a pin representing safety, Beverly. Started after Brexit as a sign of solidarity with Muslim immigrants, as I understand it [link]
Right. Passport. Still need to do that.
I was considering changing my tagline to "I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back" but then realized mine was still wildly relevant to some of the comments I'm seeing out there.
