I am waiting to check in for my xrays. Wish me luck.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I nearly bought some pot yesterday! Got on line at the Brookline store that just opened last weekend and, alas, it took a half-hour to work my way to the front, and then my meter time was up. Ah well. They had a coffee service and buckets of candy, which I immediately dubbed pre-Munchies.
First time I've ever been carded by a dealer.
But, I thought about how much a Brookline parking ticket would cost me, and that with the increased traffic in the neighborhood, the meter maids would be out in force, so I said screw it and left even though I was next in line.
When I got home and read through the literature, I found out that they've got free parking set up in the hotel down the road (you have to stop and get a ticket curbside) so the next time I'm over there....
~ma, meara!
My medical update is disappointing. I've been going to the nutritionist for 3 months and have been a very good girl. No processed foods, no bad carbs, nice organic foods. I even gave up coffee and wine. Lost 10 pounds. She feels as though as good as I have been I really should have lost more. So she gave me a printout of a long list of labs she wants done. I don't mind following a strict diet and exercising every day if I see real results. So, blah.
Best overheard convo (which DW and I still say years and years later): "It's for Pete's sake. And Michelle's."
Ugh, that is a bummer, Laura.

So close and yet so far!
X-ray~ma, meara!
I'm finding "I almost bought some pot but I was afraid of getting a parking ticket" a delightful story, Theo! What a time to be alive.
There was a news story a while ago about a state legislator who would be voting on legalizing marijuana in his state (Utah?) and - amazingly - decided he should know what it was about. So he had a friend drive him (no driving under the influence for him!) to a neighboring state where it was legal (Nevada?) and bought a little baggie of gummies. And tried them ... and didn't notice any effect.
Timelies all!
My legs hurt.
I have eaten my cake. I don't have it anymore.
