I’m sorry, Laura.
I hope Ken is ok, amyparker.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Much ~ma for you and yours, amyparker

Oh wow Laura, how sad.
I uploaded about 100 pictures to a shared photo album, hoping my aunt can identify some of the people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Walked 10.5 miles today and 45 floors.
Oofdah, lot of running around. This was because I walked to the pharmacy to collect JZ's meds and THEY WERE NOT READY.
That's like a half hour walk one way, so...pharmacists have not been my friend most days over the last two months.
So it turns out in cancer care you're managing a delicate triangle between: 1) pain management; 2) nausea; 3) constipation.
That last one is a muthafuckah because 1 and 2 frequently impinge on 3.
JZ spent a good portion of today arguing with me that she needed to forego solid food forever, and that stuff Alibelle suggested was fairly tasty.
We're in that space where it's not All Clear, but it's no longer In Crisis. Maybe tomorrow.

What did Alibelle suggest? Some kind of Ensure? That sucks. I hope it’s going better today.
I had realized I was scrolling with my middle finger on the mouse scroll wheel too much. So figured out how to order a new mouse from our portal….which the only ergonomic option was like $130? And oops got it and it’s not really what I need but also the company software blocks the mouse software so I can’t even set it up? Argh. May go buy my own dang mouse but they’re ridiculous expensive to find one with a thumb scroll wheel because it’s for designers and gamers. Doesn’t anyone else not have a buff middle finger? Lol

As I was reading this, I realized I was scrolling with the mouse wheel using my index finger, not the middle.

Lol yeah I need to work on that part too, Tom. I tried using my left hand (I am left handed) but that sucks because then I can’t mouse with one hand and write things down simultaneously with the other

Yep. It's called Core Power.
Flavor wise, and in order:
Core Power
Boost
Muscle Milk
Ensure (she found this yucky)

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Core Power is an awesome name. It feels like the kind of phrase He-Man would shout before downing it in one huge gulp.

I'm going to insist that JZ does this before she quaffs her protein shake.
