TCG is out with ltc, and I'm out of Killing Eve episodes! I don't want to wait for tomorrow for a new episode.

That swimsuit better be ordered already! Perfection.

I hope you have some relief, Jess.

for the first time in a while I don't feel like there is an elephant sleeping on my chest

Breathing, not overrated at all.

Steph, thanks for the link, I just ordered one of those bad boys myself.

Jessica, that is just the worst. I'm so sorry.

sj, way to go taking care of yourself.

I'm wondering if I'm losing my mind. I texted a friend to be like "do you remember X, who dated our mutual friend?" (It was many years ago and I remembered very little about her) and my friend was like "air, I thought you dated her too" and I'm like "...I don't think so?!?" And my friend was like "or maybe you made out with her" and I'm like "still feel like I should remember that?!?" Now I'm like feeling I should deep dive into my old LJ entries to see if I said anything, but I don't even remember when it was—8 years ago? Seven? Nine?

Teppy, can you drop an email at my profile addy, please? I seem to have misplaced yours.

Incoming momentarily...

Sorry for everyone who's feeling bad. I don't really want a cyborg replacement body, or to be a head in a jar, I just want the body to function properly.

Not that I should complain much. According to the tests my doctor has recently run, I have the internal organs of a 25-year-old. (Yes, I keep them in a jar on my desk. ba-dum-tiss) Yay for fish oil and milk thistle, which must be the reason, since my diet has always been crap.

This thread reminded me that I'm overdue for a colonoscopy. What a nuisance, trying to keep me alive.

I think I enjoy these "bird videos for cats" more than the cats do.

My sister and I had a garage sale at her house, during a heatwave, and it was awful and we didn't make enough money to be worth it. I overdid the walking around/carrying heavy things and my foot and ankle were super swollen and painful for a week afterward. I'm only now starting to be able to walk without the cane again. I shouldn't complain, since it is healing, but man. It's taking a long time.

Steph, depression and anxiety always go along with my period too. And fatigue. I just gave in to it and slept most of the weekend because I could. The cats apparently think I'm dying. They've been very concerned, by which I mean wailing at me a lot. When I get suddenly real tired and miserable, I know my period will start in two days. Listen, goddesses of menopause, can we move this process along? I'm almost 55, for pity's sake. I'm tired of this hormonal shit.

My mom has had enough benign polyps removed that I need a colonoscopy starting this year (except, since my birthday is in November, I will be putting it off until NEXT year because don't wanna).

Shingles are better this week but still painful. I can at least sleep on my chest again (with enough pillows) and sit up in the morning without crying.

The WW bathing suit is AMAZEBALLS and I want one.

Sadface that the swimsuit is completely out of my size!

Steph, you were the one with the BPAL reaction, yes? Turns out you were a trendsetter!

5. PLAY-DOH

Hasbro just trademarked the smell of Play-Doh. The toy company says the smell "has always been synonymous with childhood and fun." So what is the smell? Hasbro describes it as "a sweet, slightly musky, vanilla fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, combined with the smell of a salted, wheat-based dough." THE VERGE

That's why we always put a dab of Play-Doh behind our ears before a big date.

Ha! Yes, that was me. And I do love the way Play-Doh smells, but it's not really what I think of as a perfume.
