We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Thrive to spite them

I'm going back to work today at 11. 11-8. Going to be long but I talked to my manager and she said theyd find something for me to do . Even if it was unpacking things from the truck or doing go backs. And to let someone know of it was too much or I need a break.

I should have paid attention to how long it takes me to get drowsy after I take the medicine for dizziness. Today will also be the first day in over a week I haven't slept for at least 2 hours during the day. (I was mostly sleeping out of boredom).

This too shall pass.

Oh boy, askye. Don't push yourself too much.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

My onerous medical tasks today are my annual OB/GYN checkup and a Covid booster. Maybe some hot chocolate afterward as a reward.

This too shall pass.

Reward is in order today for sure.

I was awake for two hours in the middle of the night. Do not appreciate.

Good luck with surgery Laura!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I got my new migraine infusion yesterday, which is about on par with the auto-injection it's replacing, and way less painful than Botox. That was my onerousing.

Yeah, I have got to talk to my primary care doctor about a new migraine med.

I doubt you have any questions that you or your doctor can't answer, but feel free to ask me anything.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is definitely a hot chocolate day, Tep!

Preop test~ma to you, Laura. Maybe hot chocolate for you too, or is that a bad idea in Florida?

3rd/4th/5thing everyone who pointed out your erroneous conclusion, Sophia.

And, bleah, I guess I should go get myself scheduled for my second shingles shot, and also go do my blood draw, and also send a vial of poop to the lab. I do not like these onerous tasks.

So tired. Today is definitely going to be a 3-big-coffees kind of day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Good luck with the surgery, Laura!

I hope your return to work goes well, askye.

And I wish Matilda well with her new relationship/DL superheroing.

I'm going to be stuck using Santa stamps until the spring.

I usually put my unused holiday stamps in with my address book for next year's cards. They're forever stamps, so they'll still work. Then I pick up a book of regular stamps to take me through the next several months.
