Huh. Apparently the fireworks I heard last night while walking the dog actually WERE gunshots! (Drive by six blocks away on a notorious corner, but sound travels at night). For once I 100% thought it was fireworks though!
Also, my whole house is a MESS and I am just not managing to gather the energy to clean it. On the other hand I HAVE so far kept up with Yoga with Adriene. But I’d rather have a tidy house and clean clothes to wear? Ugh.

Is chemo-ma a thing? If so, I waft it towards the Zmayhem family.
Sheryl, I hope you can soon get some help. This seems really difficult.
As for me, either my allergies have really taken off, or I have a cold. Or maybe covid (although this morning's test was negative). I hope it's just a cold...

I've been skimming and skipping in lurker mode.
I am sorry for all those who are having bad times. JZ, I wish there were something I could do ... for all who are having a bad time. I'm muddling along as usual - working, trying to get healthier. Trying to keep warm.
For fans of guinea pigs, here's one getting a truly royal treatment.

No school for ltc today. There isn’t that much snow. So, I’m kind of surprised.

Our wings are not tired.
Does ltc consider snow days a burden or a blessing? Where my family lives it is the transportation division that makes the call. If the buses can't get to the kids there is no school.
We had a small but nice gathering for my son's birthday last night. We played a game his girlfriend brought with her, Joking Hazard. It kept us laughing, and I won! I don't have a competitive streak, so I generally don't win at any games, but it wasn't that kind of competition.

It’s hit or miss with ltc. I thought she was going to be super upset about missing gym today, but she seemed happy enough. TCG is only working a half day. So, he’ll come entertain her soon.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Portacath insertion at 1 today. I’ve never had twilight anesthesia and I’m trying to keep myself from getting too anxious about it (not fully succeeding).
Sheryl, I am so sorry. I can’t imagine how bone-deep draining it has to be for all three of you to live like that.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
twilight anesthesia
It worked really well for me. I was impressed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, JZ. I'm pretty sure they called it twilight when I got my wisdom teeth out a hundred years ago, but what I got was nitrous, so I said (or at least thought!) some pretty embarrassing things about the good-looking dentist and then basically passed out.
