That is fair shrift! I had that happen (garbage disposal failed and had to be replaced, water was pouring out of it). They ought to be able to do it quickly! And if they can’t, what is their timeframe. Booo. It takes like, an hour. (Ah, I see Tuesday. But still! That’s slow)

That's some bullshit maintenance, shrift.

Happy birthday, meara!

Our house is filled with the sound of cursing in two distinct yet equally indistinguishable accents: Tennessee & Ireland.

Because the window guys are finally putting our turret windows in.

Yay turret windows!

They ought to be able to do it quickly! And if they can’t, what is their timeframe.

Exactly! Manage my expectations, people.

That is extremely interesting and thought-provoking, meara.

Thrive to spite them

Well I had a telehealth appointment at 2:40. I was unaware the dr's office would call and I had tot ake that call before I went into the appointment. Finally realized it when I got my phone to call them and saw the missed message.

Maybe they did this last time and Id ont' remember.

So now I'm waiting for the dr to be free and join the appointmnet. I guess. I don't know how this is supposed to go.

I should have done more to protect myself against Covid.

It's hard to protect yourself against disease when infected people insist on spending time in your space while taking no precautions.

Happy birthday, meara!

Talked to dr. He said I seemed to be going in the right direction. And to take something like musinex to get all the junk out ... I have phlegmy cough now . kinda . But basically if I still feel like this in a week call him back.

M is still miserable feeling. I'm pushing cold medicine on him. I stopped taking the Paxlovid because the side effects were making me feel worse than covid at this point.

In news that the world doesn't totally suck - the Florida judge who ruled a teenager was too immature to get an abortion was voted out of office.

Oh that is good news, Askye, re the judge!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I bet the apartment people would consider it an emergency if water started leaking into the apartment below yours. I'm not suggesting it, just questioning their judgment.
