Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nice.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
And in other post: went to the campus' library yesterday (first time since... late Feb? Early March?) to get some dead-tree version of books that were unavailable online. While it was almost deserted (hence looking like a potential place to come to write my assignments in it), half of the patrons were without masks and in spaces where you cannot open the windows. I came, I browsed the shelves (possibly my favorite pastime), and I got away as quickly as possible.
I also don't know anything about cars either, but good luck!

Dad~ma, shrift. If it helps, my grandfather had prostate cancer for years, and it wasn't what caught him in the end.
Yay, Camry, Laura! I hope it works out for your son.
I bought an Impreza based on my niece-in-law's experience, but I can't report back on reliability because I haven't driven it half the time I've owned it. Due to COVID. I mean, yay WfH, and it looks nice in the parking lot. But it's getting a really inaccurate impression of its car-ish duties as part of my wee household.

shrift, my dad had prostate cancer in his early 80s and it was treated with targeted radiation (focused on three gold pellets they placed) and it seemed to do the job. So best wishes for your dad, I hope the news is hopeful.

Chiming in with Dad~ma, shrift, and also with the knowledge that this can be beaten. My own Dad went through it several years ago and he's still trucking along.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I so want sweet potato fries right now! I'm on an airplane right now AIINFG. Lady behind me keeps coughing. It's probably allergies or just age...but...my mom paid big bucks to put me in first class ostensibly in front of a bulkhead but there is no actually physical divider. Just a mesh curtain that's tucked up behind the seat next to me. Also, cross country flight and no food being served. My mom kept insisting there would be a meal in first class...but I'm glad I packed a sandwich and multiple snacks. Nothing sweet potato fry level of goodness, but acceptable.
Latest episode of judge John Hodgman podcast is totally Buffy-centric and Jane Espenson is a guest host! It's not amazing from a Buffistas perspective, but if you like John hodgeman it's a good episode.
