See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hec and I had fun the other day going to the fancy bougie dispensary on Market Street, but my ability to make use of its products may be limited--the gummies are okay, and calming and soothing, but the tinctures taste horrible and the last time I tried to get some down I puked it all back up, so I think those are off the table. Which is a shame, because the pukey one was really good for bedtime and nausea the first couple of times I used it. But... ugh. I've never tasted something both so green and so oily at the same time and now I can barely look at the bottle without my gag reflex coming on strong.

I should probably post it on the neighborhood Buy Nothing; it's quality stuff, and it seems wasteful to just toss it because I personally happen to be a fussy baby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If it doesn’t spoil easily maybe hide it away and hang onto it? I have some vague understanding of preferences and tolerances shifting around during treatment being A Thing.

JZ, can you put the tincture in something else to mask the taste?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wait! BART to Richmond (wait, is that right? I’ll check shortly) where you can transfer to Amtrak and I think it’s one stop to MTZ. YES!

Thank you!! That is actually what she found, but she wasn't confident that was the best move.

It’s a good way to go and Richmond is definitely the best place to switch from BART to Amtrak. It’s how I get home from SFO just staying on the train for one more stop.

My work just sent an alert that damage to the BART tracks in Oakland has momentarily stopped all transbay service for the morning, and my first thought was, “Oh, no! Jesse’s mom!”

Day 8 of this cold. WTF. I had to cancel my ski trip because I don't want to contaminate my sister & her fiance, but on the other hand I have two cozy dogs to keep me company. And I guess I can work on my day off.

I'm pondering attempting Kouign Amann recipe from NYT. I usually make them in muffin tins, and I always struggle to get the center cooked through without burning the exteriors. I wonder if this would be better or worse?

And if I wash my hands a lot, is it too cavalier to bake something for sharing while I'm sick?

((Consuela)) I do feel like baking something to share when you have such long lasting cold is perilous

Aw, thank you! She won't be there for a couple of weeks, so she should be OK.

And I guess I can work on my day off.

That doesn't sound good! I'm sorry you're still so sick.
