Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just ate a mess of mixed rice, green beans and miso. And a tiny bit of chicken. Hopefully it won't try to kill me. I was actually something resembling hungry, but I only had oatmeal and a few triscuits today, which probably wasn't great.
Baked a couple batches of snickerdoodles (which I cannot sample) so at least the house smells good.
I made the first batch of chili of this fall! It's almost time to eat!
Oh! And I got a very sweet Thanksgiving day card from a Sekrit Buffista, so thank you, kind person!
Hem. No pain, but I can feel my gallbladder Doing Something.
BE-FUCKING-HAVE.
Behave, sarameg's GB!
I am HOME. Chicago was lovely, my brother & SIL are super, I had great food and saw lots of great art (including HAMILTON), but getting home was an epic: the flight was 4 hours late because of mechanical difficulties, needing a new pilot, and then snow. And we spent most of those 4 hours on the fucking plane. ARGH.
So I read all of Queen of the Tearling and Crazy Rich Asians. Bit of a whiplash, there.
And I came home to learn the death count for the Oakland warehouse fire is now 33. Christ. My nieces already know they know people who lost someone.
I still want cheese. This is my lament.
I spent the weekend in Canada with friends at a fancy cabin, and it was awesome. I made tons of Chex mix (both sweet and savory) and we danced and drank and had a fire and a hot tub and played "I Never" and flip cup and beer pong and video games and watched a movie and ate a lot of food and danced and sang and it was awesome. I'm sure my liver and sleep couldn't handle it but I wish every weekend was like that!
My boss does not have ovarian cancer!!! I am so happy. She does have severe endometriosis, and it was blocking her kindness, but she had a hysterectomy and other removing surgery! I was really really worried when she went in for a kidney and then had surgery on her ovaries!
My heart is breaking for the whole Oakland community. The more I see the worse it becomes, and they aren't finished yet.
Gallbladder behaving wishes, Mmmmmmm cheese.
Yay for awesome weekends and no cancer news!
I still have no water. I expect to hear from the plumber soon. It was like a camping out weekend. I have a water cooler that provided drinking water and a park across the street with a bathroom. Also buckets for middle of the night flushes. I didn't bother with going to the gym to shower. That will happen later here I hope.
Good news, Sophia!
In terrible news, my godsister's daughter died this morning. What the fuck even is that? She was like 10 and had a brain aneurysm. I'm not close to them, but I kind of can't bear it.
