FYI - apparently Howling Time (Not This Time x Werewolf) may be a classy enough colt to make it to the Derby. If so: Buffista Derby Pick?

He is pretty - even if he didn’t earn any points yesterday.

Random: in the next race - (watching NYRA on delay) there is a horse named Gringotts by Central Banker & one called Effiemeister by Bodemeister x Effie Trinket. The favorite in the last race was named Kissing Frogs, alas, she came in second.

Effiemeister is an excellent horse name.

Timelies all!

Normal Sunday here. I'm doing laundry and watching Legends of Tomorrow while Gary has brought Mr. S over to his mom's for a playdate.

Timelies! I just caught up on the last 2 weeks of Natter. Please know that appropriate sympathies and vibes were expressed as I read.

My Thanksgiving was a quiet day away from A Christmas Carol tech (opening is tonight) just like in the before times. I read a book while the cats took turns on my lap and then made a sweet potato, carrot, red lentil soup and an apple crisp. Tomorrow is a focus and then into tech for the next show.

Two turkeys sounds good.

Shrift stay safe.

Mom called and I got snippy at her. Pretty sure it's the concussion. I have an appointment on Tuesday with a GP. M will drive me. Mom asked me a bunch of questions I don't have answers to. Like about workers comp. I guess they were closed all week so I have heard nothing from them. I don't know if I'll get paid or how that works.

Or when I'll go back to work. Or what the dr will suggest. Mom "what do you think the dr will say?" I don't know. I've never had thos before .

I did think to text my manager and let her know about my Dr's appointment. She asked if was scheduled off tomorrow. I told her no but the Dr's note covered me until Tues, which I have off.

I'm just bored and irritated and frustrated with a lack of information. I forgot to take the last dose of medicine and yeah I do need it .

I swear I'm not using screens that much .

I tried listening to podcasts or audio books but I don't like podcasts and I only really like audio books if I'm doing something else. I can't explain the podcast thing but I never liked talk radio either.

Good luck askye!!

I am embarrassed and awkward because I’m supposed to go dancing with my friend shortly. But for breakfast we walked like 1.5 miles each way. And apparently the particular underwear and leggings I was wearing are not compatible with a 3 mile walk because now I have a huge blister. Owwwwww. Not sure how well I’m going to be able to dance! Booooo. I know how to handle blisters on my feet, I’ve had them plenty of times before, but this is new.

Bracing for a Monday after my practices mostly have been closed 4-1/2 days. Why did I schedule a doctor's visit this afternoon? May I survive the day.

Have I mentioned that (coworker)DH is the best recently, and also loves carrots? He knows that my first hour or so of the day, particularly Mondays, more particularly after a holiday, are horrendously busy. There are processes I manually do that need a coding solution to automate. Anyway, this morning he said that he was going to do them and kicked me out. He wants to have greater insight into how the processes can be automated to eliminate my morning crush. See also big heart-shaped emoticons.

So ya know, I am kicking around the internet and drinking coffee, watching tv news. All that stuff that people with actual lives do I suppose.

Nice, Laura! You won the coworker lottery, for sure. Heh.
