It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Speedy recovery, Gud!

Gud! I'm not happy you had to go to the hospital, but I'm super glad you went and are getting the good drugs.

Surgery~ma for Rosemary.

Health~ma for Sue's dad. I don't have strategies to help with passive-aggressive relatives except, you know, to suggest therapy which probably wouldn't go over well.

Dana, I would do an escape room with you!

I do not like corporate retreats with team-building activities because they rarely involve things I enjoy doing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can live with a day of team-building now and then, mostly because it's a break from the routine. Although the closest my office gets to that sort of thing is going out to lunch together, which we do once a year for Administrative Assistant's Day and once a year for the holidays. Which means "team-building" translates into a nice lunch in a different setting with interesting conversation (especially if I can sit with the people I'm closest to).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, I would do an escape room with you!

I feel like we would do well.

I went to drama school, so I eat all the team building stuff up. "I" statements all the way!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Yikes, Sue, that's a lot. Health~ma for your dad. Take care of yourself.

Leg~ma, Gud. I'm glad you're getting care. If you're not already on probiotics, you might want to start some. Take care of yourself as well.

Leg~ma, Gud. I'm glad you're getting care. If you're not already on probiotics, you might want to start some.

Definitely. IV antibiotics are pretty big guns, and while they'll wipe out the infection, they'll also indiscriminately wipe out your good gut flora, which sucks. Probiotics will help you avoid that.

I have called and made a dentist appointment, and I've scheduled a quick trim at the salon for this Friday. This is not a major amount of Adulting, but it feels like it with the work projects that I'm on this year.
