My beloved spouse was just diagnosed with diabetes the morning and he's pretty bummed. His doctor advised a ketogenic diet. so it's gonna be lots of eat and cheese chez Scrappy.
I'll be in my bunk.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our wings are not tired.
It is an adjustment, but with fixing the diet the craving for banned stuff goes away too. If it can be controlled by diet that is better than taking meds, IMO.

I'm done with Vampire Ball prep! The outfit is done, and the flower crown was finished last night with only one minor burn from the hot glue gun.

Yay! Looking forward to pictures, Atropa.
I've prepared myself for the doctor call by checking my labs for the past 20 years. Glucose in 1999 was 102, followed in 2000 thru 2018 with scores of 112, 95, 106, 100, 103, 104, and this year 106. He can't say I am not consistent. If he wants I can pay a bit more attention and no doubt keep it under 100.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just realized that the landlord is using the upstairs apartment as an AirBnB. (And I feel kind of stupid that, in all the "sketchy things that might be going on upstairs" thoughts that have run through my head in the past few months, based on the noises I've been hearing up there, that one never occurred to me, even though it probably should have been the most obvious.)

I pulled weeds and cut leggy growth and hauled that gardening stuff up and down the stairs all afternoon. My back hurts, but I had a shower and was lying down with my legs up on the wall, reading fb. Sometimes I don't want to be a nice person, though I do it anyway. I've got 2 friends of friends at my house right now, one on couch, one in extra br. Both have section 8 housing issues, both have health issues, bith are temporary. And I just agreed to go help the friend who connects me to the one with all the chronic bowel problems cuz her truck died after she loaded with all her farmers market baked goods. I feel really whiny about it as you can tell. Oh well, life gets dull when it's just me and the cat. I'd better get going.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is your landlord allowed to do that? If he's not that would be fun to mention next time he bitches about clutter...
Of course, now you know why he's bitching about clutter. He'd like two AirBnBs.

I checked -- currently, yes, but the city council has been considering restrictions that would make it illegal.

Oh, crap. I just overslept and missed a dentist appointment.

Always Anti-fascist!
OMG, I just had the funniest political argument EVER, about football players and the knee and such...right winger's all "you take a job, you get paid, selling a product, blah." Which is all predictable and slightly dehumanizing till this woman says "What if the beatles stopped their songs to put *messages* in them?" And I'm like "They did. For years." Imagine thinking you were gonna own with that. Of course, I'm a fan so she also got my thoughts on Gerry and the Pacemakers. #MiniHecubus
