Zen, is taking an alternative like Rosuvastatin an option? I take that, and while the full dosage does cause me to heal slower and bruise more easily (I take it every 2 days instead), my doctor said I was one of only two patients in his career that turned out to be sensitive to it.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm listening to my landlord curse the plumbers who installed pipes in my apartment. Apparently there was some high level incompetence involved, leading to rotted out cupboard walls, soaked carpet, and all manner of nastiness that had to be carried out by the bucketload. My landlord is 75, and super nice (hence being here to fix my plumbing on a lovely Sunday afternoon). I hate bothering him, but it's not like plumbing problems fix themselves. Of course, we're all dealing with this in masks, and he's gloved. Which I'm sure makes it even more fun for him.

Ugh, Calli. That's certainly a drag for everyone involved.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh dear, good plumbing~ma to you and your landlord, Calli.
Matt, thanks, I'll keep it in mind if it gets to the point I feel I have to take it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Calli! That sounds like a mess.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yeah, the thing about the statins is that the side effects can be major, and include things that you wouldn't expect, like easily getting angry
I can't remember what they put DH in, but he stopped taking it because of sudden onset anger issues. It was scary. He's going to discuss a new one with his GP when he goes back in.
Matt, that's what my NP put me on. Low dose.
Oh, Calli, that sounds like a nightmare.

In other news, I had a lovely lunch with my mom out on her lanai enjoying the sunshine and breeze today. Happy to report that the crispy sesame bread made a big difference in my homemade muffaletta experiment. Central Grocery has nothing to worry about, but the results were very good, and probably would have been equal to any of the local places that formerly offered them if I'd oven toasted the sandwiches rather than making them cold.

Herding cats for fun
I read one recipe called Overnight Mufuletta Sandwiches. Apparently letting them sit awhile let's the olive oil soak into the bread.
I think I'd prefer toasted bread to soggy.

That's how they serve them at Napoleon House! And I prefer them that way to the Central Grocery.

Yeah, the latter's flavor is unrivaled, but I recall my sandwich verging on being a pudding. I prefer fluffy-crunchy dry texture to my bread too.
