Max and Ruby drives me crazy for that reason. I used to watch it as a sitter, but it is one of the shows I have specifically steered ltc away from.

My current customer is one of those Sovereign Citizen idiots, his computer is full of documents on how to declare yourself a Real Man and how to disassociate yourself from federal legal ties by telling the IRS that as a Real Man you do not have a Social Security number but you are an executor for someone who does have a social security number (family members whose finances you manage, ie, the family bank account). His legal documents refer to the LastName Kingdom of the Nation of Ohio. So many strange people in the world.

How it must gall him to have to use federally supported interstate phone and Internet channels to get his crappy computer fixed.

edit: I wonder if the credit card he used to pay for the support call is from a bank that recognizes his Real Manliness.

edit 2: And more amusingly, the problems of the last two and a half hours are because he's been trying to install with the British version of the software with U.S. credentials. Bah.

I wish it were warmer here—I packed for 75-85 like the forecast said. Instead it's been 65 max, and rainy, and my one long sleeve shirt and two pairs of pants are getting old while my cute shorts and tank tops are just useless weight to carry around. Boo!

Feel your pain. I had the opposite problem in Munich last year. I packed for 65 and rainy, but we had beautiful mid 70s temps the whole week. Luckily, I had packed a few light dresses for dancing in hot clubs, so I was able to wear them all day.

I really shouldn't think too deeply about animated shows with a few human characters, and a bunch of anthropomorphic creatures, right?(This brought to you by Blaze and the Monster Machines, one of Mr.S's current favorites.)

I am super anti-Paw Patrol, so of course Alexandra loves it. Luckily, she also loves Esme & Roy and Sesame Street, so I can't stress too much.

I've been buzzing with anxiety since the nebulizer treatment.

Was it albuterol?

My kids had RSV as babies and for years after, we had to give them nebulizer treatments at home, if they had upper-respiratory viruses, because they always turned into bronchiolitis (and pneumonia a couple of times).

That stuff made them so jumpy. Before they could/would wear the masks, I used to just have to hold the tube in front of their faces, and I'd get hopped up on the stuff. I remember my heart pounding.

I hope you feel better soon, sj. It's hard being sick when you have a little one.

Yeah, albuterol. And I can't sleep because I'm having horrific heartburn.

Paw Patrol is awful and also one of ltc's favorites. I also hate Bubble Guppies and Corn and Peg.

Thank you, all. Health~ma to those who need it.

Big Migraine Day today. Not a surprise, as I didn't have the time to exercise properly this week (while I hate exercise, I hate the pain even more). Still, ouch.

Beverly, the blood sugar struggles are real. Fistbumps and other gestures of solidarity.

Depression and asthma (and cancer risk) on my mother's side, and anxiety, diabetes and heart disease on my father's. Ah well, at least I didn't pick up the alcoholism.

But I'll admit that I'm relieved to not be passing any of this stuff on to the next generation.

Good morning Natter. I'm in a very good mood today. I just noticed and it is pretty sweet.

All good stuff! After a couple weeks of basketball every day all day and night DH told me a couple days ago he was going to be home tonight. So I got tickets to see Rocketman tonight. Looking forward to that a lot. Also, after my nutrition appt yesterday, when I got home DH said he wanted to join me in the diet business after he has fallen off the wagon spectacularly in recent months. So I ordered about everything imaginable from whole foods for delivery this morning and have been menu planning in full force.

Mostly trying to be very firm on the RA diet suggestions, as well as complying with my torturer's edict to ban gluten and dairy from my life. Well, she actually was less harsh than usual saying if I required a bit of pizza a couple times a month or something it wouldn't kill me, but to be good most of the time. She probably knows if I eliminate it most of the time then it will make me sick when I have it, tricky witch.

I ended up sleeping sitting up in the recliner so that my heartburn wasn't as bad. I was supposed to meet up with vw and Stitch today, but I wasn't feeling up to the drive. So, there coming to us. I wish the house was cleaner, but I don't have the energy to fix that before they get here.
