Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Because books.

Fresh fish is so yum. When we lived in Florida we had a neighbor who brought us fresh pompano and dolphin all the time (not that kind of dolphin).

In personal cooking news, I just realized I don't have a box grater. How is that possible?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Do you need one? I have a set of flat graters with little rubber feet that work much better than any box grater I ever owned.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had what I think was a good interview, y'all. Contract, but full-time by the end of the year if it works out. Fingers crossed that it does, and that they are not secretly terrible people.

Good Luck! Glad you had a good interview.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed, Dana!

Fingers crossed Sana!

I used to have a flat grater and I don't know what happened to it—I realized recently I only have a microplane grater which is not useful for some things.

And yeah, Jessica, if you have stuff you don't need!

Rosemary, who can't catch a break, is back in the hospital because her knee turned so painful. The doctors suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis which is serious likely after open heart surgery, but it seems that it's actually something called pseudo-gout.

So, not classic gout, but crystals of a different type that accumulate in the knee instead of the big toe.

She's weak enough that trying to get up with a bad knee makes her a fall risk, so they have her for at least another day. Thank goodness for good health insurance.
