Best thoughts to your SO, Jen!

My weekend plans include taxes as well, possibly seeing Everything Everywhere All At Once, the usual Sunday of church + band + dinner with mother.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah, these are the stories I tell the kids. We are rare users—definitely not daily. Robin doesn’t vape and Oliver has only tried a few times. I prefer smoking because I really just prefer the quick acting, shorter effect.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

shrift, I'm glad you're not commuting down to Mtn View anymore. And yeah, that view was one of the best things about working at Mozilla and coming into the office once or twice a week or so.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, I don't know if they plan to test for other stuff. What I'm curious about is if they'll try to get me in for a test, even though I haven't filled a clonazepam prescription in a while. Also curious if it turns out a lot of psych offices are doing this now.
I'd assumed that it was making sure that if you were filling a script, that you were using it and not selling it.

Oof, so I'm having regular "getting older pain" in my right shoulder these days (getting PT for it), so I got the Moderna booster in my left arm yesterday, and it hurts about 5x more than any of the Pfizers did for me. Holy hell. Yay antibodies, but wow, I feel about 85 years old this morning. Wow.

Our wings are not tired.

I think all of my practices that prescribe any controlled substances do regular drug testing. To verify proper use both on the not taking and taking too much side of things. It is standard. They also report compliance with that objective for Medicare reporting, not the detail, just that it is being done.

Weekend. Being kind to my ouchy crown until I get to dentist on Monday. Work. Visiting my sister tomorrow before she heads back to NY break of dawn Monday. I hardly saw her this visit because of my disrupted schedule. Sea trial and survey done on boat Wednesday and Thursday and should be in it next weekend. Oh yeah, still have to sort through bins in storage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, Laura. Good to know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a real stupid problem. I really want to see this movie (Everything Everywhere All At Once), but schedules don't work with various people I might see it with. No problem, I'm happy to go by myself. And it's on the big screen at my local independent theater! ... But not today. There's a live show tonight, so the movie is in a small side theater today. I don't want to wait weeks to see it, but do I want to travel to potentially a bigger screen? HMMMMMM


JenP - Apr 09, 2022 7:53:32 am PDT #14384 of 30000

Tylenol and muscle relaxant for the win. Getting some food now.

Jesse, that is a conundrum. I have no good advice. I suck at delayed gratification, so I know I'd go see it in the smaller screen, but, you know, strength to you!

Laura, next weekend the sea life begins! SO exciting.

Food for Jen now. Oh, I said that already.

I think you're right, and I will. Support local businesses also!
