Oww. The soccer game was good but I am unused to sunshine and not only did I sweat like crazy, I got sunburnt! Ouch. Have slathered myself in solarcaine but suspect I’ll feel worse tomorrow…

Our wings are not tired.

Ouch. Sorry about the sunburn.

Today is being very Mondayish here. Don't want it.

YUP.

I'm reasonably certain that I did not break my toes when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and stubbed them so forcefully on my bed frame that I collapsed slowly onto soft furnishings. And I have to go to the dentist today. But at least I'm not On Call anymore, so at least I've got that going for me.

I ended up working for like half an hour and then laying down and taking a nap for three hours. I’m doing some more semi-urgent work but may lay down after that, too. My head doesn’t really hurt but I feel foggy. This better not be covid.

Medical day today. Blood draw for lab tests first thing this morning, then injection of radiotracer, then CT scan, then three-hour wait for the radiotracer to soak in, then bone scan, then hormone suppression injection and bone-strengthening injection. Now I'm waiting for my consult with the oncologist to go over all the results.

No contrast for the CT scan this time -- there is a shortage because of difficulty getting it produced and/or shipped out of Shanghai (China). GE Health is reportedly trying to ramp up production in Cork (Ireland), but the forecast is that the shortage will last a couple more months.

The results of all the tests and scans are already posted to the patient portal (MyChart). From what I can see, it all looks good, no changes. No news is good news.

That sounds promising, dcp. Excellent.

I'm at a convention for work. It's local so we just have to drop in. But no one! Is wearing! a mask!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sounds like good news, dcp.

Had some major thunderstorms here last night.

I went to early vote in the primaries so I can help pick which Democrats will be beaten by 2-1 in my state come November. Also, to pick up cat food and check up on Little Meg, who today for the first time didn't growl at the vet tech entering the cat ward!
