Thrive to spite them

YAY for a clear colonoscopy.

I have my consultation appointment next week. I am going to ask for options for clearing things out for the colonoscopy because I'm really worried about the liquids and weird taste or texture (even if it's a texture no one else can tell) because I don't want to throw stuff up or have an issue with it.

I'm also regretting that I scheduled it first thing in the morning because I forgot to take the day off and I'm scheduled in the early afternoon. The dr's office is like 8 mins from work ---which is about 30 mins from home. So I dont' really want to drive to the dr's office, drive home, and the drive to work but I may do that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary and I went to Boskone this weekend(where we ran into Theodora) as an almost last-minute thing. We found out we could go about a week before, so we drove up Friday and back yesterday.

I discovered that Apple had changed the USB port on the new iPad mini when I tried to plug my travel charger in and it wouldn't work. I ended up seriously restricting my tablet time over the weekend.

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

Boring weather post: It's dropped into the 40s with winds whipping everything and everyone around, and the winds are expected to keep howling for the next couple days plus rain for 5 out of the next 7 and temps low enough that parts of the Bay Area may see snow. I did not sign on for this nonsense and would like to return it to its proper owner ASAP.

Had a very hard weekend capped by a very bad night last night. I'm so down I'm having trouble doing anything and just kinda want to die.

Gud, I'm so sorry it's been so rough for you. Not that it probably helps, but it's good to see you here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, Gud, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have anyone local you can talk to?

There are pills! You don't have to get a liquid! Apparently sometimes insurance is weird about it, but there are definitely pills now.

{{hugs for you, Gud}}

We value you.

It is cold and windy and I am not taking the dog for a walk. (She hates windy days.) I am also not going to the gym.

Kind of temped to make a cocktail for Mardi Gras but maybe I won't.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Gud. Know that this is a place where you are loved and appreciated.

Tuesday is the day of the week that they have a super special at a local seafood joint, so I decided we would go there after my long day. I should know better, and at this time of year, maybe going at 4 would make more sense than 7. It was at least a 2-hour wait. They have specials every day, but Tuesday is 3 lobster tails for $30 or 2 whole for $35, so my favorite day. Well, Mardi Gras, and high season here. Ha! Not happening. So I went to another one of my favorite places a block away and decided to try the creole shrimp & grits from the special board. Should have gone with one of their more traditional Florida standards. Once you have had New Orleans shrimp & grits you should never have them elsewhere. Just sayin'. But I didn't have to cook and I was with my favorite guy, so it is all okay.

I kinda want you to live, so I guess it's a tie. Please know that this will pass. This bad day. And your kids need you to anchor their worlds. And we love you.
