We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

That's great, Dana!

Not great, msbelle. Bah to all that.

I came in early this morning because my main account needed early morning attention and now I've got a call scheduled for 8am on Thursday, my other in-the-office day this week. This is my playing havoc with my go-to-the-gym-before-work intentions.

Great to see your pixels, Epic!

And yay for helpful insurance people, Dana. Here's hoping it becomes a trend.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I called my insurance company this morning because I need an extra five days of meds that I didn't pack, and I told this guy what I needed, and he said he'd call me back, and he did? He'd talked to the pharmacy himself? And gotten all of my refills done? And made sure I had someone who could pick it up for me? I'm stunned.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had emergency mac&cheese and it is only slightly helping.

I am also mad at myself that I am not even 50% done with book club book for tonight. It was my suggested book! I’m only like 15% done. I’m going to try to listen to the audiobook as much as possible for the rest of the day.

Dana that is shocking and amazing, as well as awesome. Glad to hear at least one thing is going right for you!!

Random Q: I opened up one of the boxes of tests I got from the government and discovered there’s no swabs in it. Has everything else though. Could I use a qtip or something? Or is it just a wasted box? That seems like such a shame if so, but if I can’t get legit results then I might as well toss them.

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

Timelies all!

It is freaking hot here. I know it's almost June, but high temps in the 90s are a bit much.

Great to see your pixels, Epic, and sending vibes for smooth sailing and adjustment as needed.
