I listened (and fell asleep to) a lot of podcasts after my surgery. I wasn't reading much, and I refused to take any painkillers beyond Advil because the side effects are terrible for me. My DH reminded me that the incision sites were smaller from the laproscopic approach, but they still cut out a major organ and scooped it out, which I am repeating for you, sarameg. Rest! Heal!
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

One of the joys of being obsessed with Korean pop music is it's not about politics at all. I mean, Korea just impeached their President, who has apparently been running the country based on advice from her psychic cult leader, but even that does not invade the relentless cheer and cute abs of Kpop!

Our wings are not tired.
There's a Chrome extension that replaces pictures of the evil tangerine with kittens.
It doesn't work. If only it did the internet would be a kinder gentler place.

And, see, this actually sounds WAY better than the PEOTUS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It doesn't work.
What? Bah.
I bought a coloring book at Target yesterday. That's where I'm at.

Avengers? (I have an Avengers coloring book from Target. It's awesome. I made the Hulk pink.)

There is some good news in the world. Here's a round up: [link] And a lot of the items are non-US, so Trump may well have no effect on them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you for good news, Calli.

So when are the apes scheduled to take over? I want a peaceful transition of power, you know.
I can't even describe the incompetence of the co-worker I just spoke to.

So hey, all of the news is terrible, and I'm beyond freaked out. Twitter used to be fun.
I'm listening to the ocean using a meditation app and trying not to panic. It's not working very well. I need to focus on Yuletide and then finishing off the Stanford class I'm taking. And, you know, work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
sarameg--after my hysterectomy, they told me to keep a pillow on my lap and hug it to my stomach when I had to cough. It helped a lot.
