I did not order in, instead I made caramelized onion biscuits and ate them with cheese and sausage. Maybe tomorrow a vegetable?
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Onions are a vegetable. Well, technically they're a bulb, but...vegetation. They should count.
So glad the infusion went better. And that indeed was a busy day, David.
Yay for new car! And for washer-dryer delivery. And for art.
All good things to hear.

Who's doing what this weekend?Going back to catch up on about 400 missed Natters!
JZ is doing much better this morning than last time, so they seem to have successfully tweaked her cocktail with better anti-nausea meds.So good to hear.
This weekend is frigid here in MD, though I'm grateful to say it's not as bad as all that. My heating bill has doubled, despite pretty conservative usage. But...heating...so no complaints.
I am embarrassed to say my biggest problem these days is a huge case of 'don't-wannas'. My body is loving the not being at DefCon1 all the time. So much, that I just can't be fussed. Not good for my body, mind or business, but enjoyable none the less.
I'm planning an online productivity group based on live co-working sessions. It's a service, sure, but really just as much for me as anyone else.
People are so worn out after years of [waves in futile angst at the world] alla this, community seems to be the only solution.
Someone probably posted about this already, but I was just hipped to the absolutely sadistic conditions on the set of the UK Squid Game reality show. I cannot even imagine someone signing up for that. All I can think is: Bread & Circus really is the endgame reality.
On the other side of the tv coin, I haven't watched The Last of Us, mostly because Pedro can't be anyone but Mando in my brain. But, I saw Nick Offerman talk about his episode being a standalone and my love for NO is unbounded. What a beautiful hour of tv. Seriously. Just lovely. Derivative of a lot of other tv episodes smooshed together, but the acting really puts it over the top.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I leave way too early tomorrow morning for a week in Disney World! I did Disneyland for the first time in early 2020 (like, right before covid), but it's been probably 20+ years since I went to DW.

Can audible audiobooks be shared with non-audible users?
Audible has a "send book" feature but it does require the recipient to create an account. You can def cancel without paying once you're done listening to the book though.

Oooh!
Yesterday I took Aeryn to Eaglefest where we met a Very Smol Owl (and some very big eagles), today I took her to urgent care with what is probably strep throat. (BOO.) So my plans for the rest of today is waiting for the Dr to call back with her test results and then probably going to CVS to pick up antibiotics.

I actually Did Things this weekend, cultural, adulty type things.
Friday went to the Lyric Opera for the opening night of an opera set in a Chicago barbershop and grappling with issues of community, violence, and relationships. Very loosely based on Barber of Seville.
Then Saturday a play by a small company based on James Joyce’s Dubliners, staged in the upstairs of an Irish pub. No set, just mic stands and each player tackling three or so characters.
Today I’ve done nothing at all and am watching the new Pro Bowl, which involves a series of flag football games coached by Mannings with Snoop offering sideline commentary. Half the players are wearing hats and sunglasses and jewelry and appear to be having a fucking ball. When did this happen? It’s delightful!

That all sounds very cool, brenda.
