M only has himself to blame for mixing apples, mangoes, and cream of mushroom soup!

Publishers Clearing House just offered me an ultraviolet flashlight for spotting pet and other stains that aren't visible to the naked eye. Who would want one of those in their house?!?

Lord, yeah, no, living in denial and just fine with it, thanks anyway, PCH.

My thought exactly!

I’m staying away from the inter webs tonight. I know how bad it is without needing to know and I just hope for no additional tragedies tonight. And for any glimmer of action to stop this keep happening.

JZ’s and dcp’s good news are the true bright spots of this week and I am so thankful.

This week has sucked.

Oh, yeah. Friends of mine can stop having cancer any time now. Three in three months (just found out about the third one today) is too damned many.

I am awake because my sore throat has tmnow morphed into sore throat with severe ear pain on one side. No fever or body aches or things like that. I don't even feel that congested.

I went to double check when the walk in clinic in town opens and the answer is ...Monday. I went to check the next closest and it said they opened at 8 but when I clicked online check in the time it gave me was 9 am. So that's where I'll be in the morning.

I hope they can give you something that’ll clear things right up, askye.

Today I have general housework, a haircut, and a book to pick up at the library. I’m also in research mode for a possible trip in 2024, and I often enjoy the research as much as the traveling, so that should be fun.

Nice, Calli. Planning trips is fun

Good luck at urgent care, askye.

I did work work last weekend, which is unusual, so no complaints, but I am looking forward to a chill weekend with some fun thrown in. That's my plan, anyway.

Doing a sip and paint Sunday evening with two friends, and hoping to talk Mautt into breakfast out this morning. Probably won't take much talking, really.

I have an ear infection. I'm getting antibiotics and a steroid and should be good in a few days.

I'm going to take my first occurrence and call in sick. I know I'm only working a few hours but I don't feel like dealing with any of it.

Settled into a comfy chair to finish reading the boring book before book club Monday. Dog and cat are down with relaxing although I am unclear on whether they hear the jazz playing in the background. DH has gone to Key West for a basketball tournament. He tells me that season is over Tuesday.

He has been doing the hard work of finding a car for me, as is his marital obligation. I'll make the final pick, but he does the research, talks to the dealers, and puts it all in a spreadsheet. I've looked at the 2023, but really I don't see any advantage to that over the older models and in fact Tesla has dropped some of the features in the newer models to drop the prices. Soon I hope because I kind of hate the Camry rental car.

Things are calm here as I avoid the rest of my to-do list.

~ma in abundance to all in need

Heavy fog in San Francisco this morning, and JZ and Matilda and my MiL all sleeping in.
