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

Timelies all!

Another Monday. Well, Spring is approaching, the no-longer surprise hyacinths are blooming, as are the cherry blossoms.

Thanks for that, Consuela! It joins “is the mountain out” as important yes/no questions to answer.

I could not get my shit together today—even though I thought I slept fine I was a wreck all day, yawning and unable to focus. Got lots to do tomorrow and starting early, so hoping I can get over that!! Wondering if it’s a side effect of the new drugs or possibly my body saying “eat more food dumb dumb”

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My mental checklist today:

Pharma (pick up meds)
Piggies (they need kibble, also cage cleaning)
Mail (need to send something out Priority)
Surgery
Laundry
Dishes

At 3pm I have to get "clean margins" on the spot where the dermatologist cut out the melanoma on my shoulder. Whee!

Consider doing the chores which require shoulder movement *before* getting surgery on your shoulder.

It doesn't impede my movement, but it does make carrying a backpack tricky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope the weather doesn't make your to do list too challenging, Hec. It's pouring over here, just hearing the rain on the roof is making me want to go to sleep.

Our wings are not tired.

Surgery~ma, with an extra dose of getting the stuff done ~ma.

There is hardly anything better for putting me into a sleep state.

They are testing the fire alarm system in the building, and it is horrible. They don't have an alarm as such but super loud MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE THERE HAS BEEN AN EMERGENCY REPORTED IN THE BUILDING PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING BY THE NEAREST EXIT DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS - repeated about 20 times already. LOUD I really hope testing an alarm isn't next.

Skinner is not pleased, and neither am I. Also, how many times can they repeat this message. Sigh.

eta: it has been repeating for about 20 minutes now. No end in sight. I think they are going to every unit to make sure we don't have the sprinklers or speakers blocked. They came to me already. I think there are maybe 80 units? Okay, over, I think. It was a full half hour.

Drove Matilda to school because it was raining hard.

Then swooped around the corner to PetSmart and sat in the car for five minutes until it opened at 9am.

Got Piggy kibble.

Cut through the Breezeway and down into Target and got a Latte and egg sandwich at Starbucks.

Back up to the car and drove in the rain to the UCSF Walgreens on Parnassus.

There's never any parking there but I thought I would chance it.

There was no parking there. Parked down the hill a few blocks away.

Trudged up in the rain to the Pharmacy to collect prescriptions for both JZ and Matilda.

They were not ready. Half hour. Cooled my heels in the food court at a table, came back and after much palaver left with my drugs.

Back home. Moved laundry to dryer.

Showered. JZ finished card so I could send out package, and now I'm ready to go out into the rain again to the PO to get this thing in the mail.

When I come back, I'll bring up laundry, and THEN I'll do some dishes before I go to have them carve a new hole in my shoulder.

The last one has gone from the size of a fifty cent piece to a nickel. I don't know what will happen with this one. Maybe stitches.
