Oh Pix, that is so heartbreaking.

Much ~ma for finding a new place to live quickly, askye.

Your sauce sounds very yum, sj. Now I'm hungry!

As I expected my son passed off my mobile service to some other tech although it is his territory. No doubt he will claim it is corporate policy to not service family members. Oh well. But my car is fixed. I'm hoping to be released next week to be able to actually drive around and do stuff. DH still debating what to do about replacing his truck once he has to relinquish control of my car back to me.

We have a local empanada place that has some flavor combinations I wasn't familiar with. I was a little unsure about the ones that contained meat, olives and raisins, but it was surprisingly good.

That's a common combo (and my favorite!) in Argentina.

Are you feeling mostly healed up, Laura?

I have a Fancy Brunch planned today with my friend, Jes, who I haven't seen since before xmas, and I'm quite looking forward to it.

Technically the mask mandate in SF (and California) ended on February 1, but nobody's unmasking here. Maybe when the surge has completely fallen off. Maybe not.

Fancy brunch always a good plan!

Eh, not healing nearly as quickly as I would like, but have my 6-week follow-up next week and hope to be cleared to swim again. Mostly I am a big baby about this stuff. I did get blood work done yesterday and cholesterol is still superb and protein went up (still low) but paying attention closer to diet working. Still doing the slow but steady decline. Lost over 60 lbs and in size 12! DH down like 90 lbs. He is hitting a plateau but sticking to it.

Right the fuck on! Both of you are doing so well. After hitting my goal weight and keeping it there until last year, I started to creep back up during last Winter's lockdown. But I've been diligent since the new year and have gotten back to that phase of slow steady decline. It's very motivating when you can see it on the scale.

Just sent an email to my friend Molly whose father died suddenly. Hil's mom, Knut's Dad. All the shit Teppy's dealing with.

Lot of grief going around.

Grief on top of grief on top of all the other emotional exhaustion. I want to hug all my loved ones, and can't even do that!

It's like the fucking Mirrorverse of Texas. Fuck! Texas!!!

Hil, all my love and condolences.

I thought the mask mandate was through 2/15. Maybe that's just at my office or gym or something. I get so many of these notices and I don't pay that much attention.

So in random good things Worker's Comp called me. The nurse manager person I was probably supposed to hear from back in December. She JUST GOT the referral to call me , at some point. I don't remember, I wasn't taking notes , but recently. Like maybe this week??

Anyway there's only ONE neurologist in the area who will do worker's comp and she's not in SC she's in Asheville or Hendersonville. I'm going to Hendersonville bc it's closer and I'm not dealing with traffic to Asheville. Well whoever drives me isn't.

She apologized for all the problems I've been having after I told her the brief version.

Oh and the neurologist requires pre payment for every appointment by worker's comp (I guess she's gotten screwed and learned her lesson) of course that payment has to be authorized by the dude who doesn't call me back or reply to my emails.

Maybe, maybe I'll be able to see a doctor about this ..well I doubt I'll get an appointment by Feb 19 (which would be 3 months since the accident) but probably before March 19. Maybe.. my math is right, Feb 19 is 3 months right?
