You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...the same mockingbird singing endless arias, which I do enjoy but there's not much novelty.

Perhaps he will take requests, if you play him some tunes to learn.

Thrive to spite them

Lots of ~health and healing ma to Epic and JZ

Susan I hope your implant procedure goes well. I have way more issues about my gums than my actual teeth and the cost played into it.

Today M and I ran some errands and had Jamaican for lunch. Yesterday I had to take Penny to the vet, she doesn't have a UTI but her peeing outside the litter box is probably from anxiety (it started when Cheeto came into the house) and so she's on anti anxiety meds for a month at least. So far it's going ok she hasn't peed outside of the litter box and she hasn't growled or hissed when Cheeto has come near.

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

Timelies all!

Tomorrow Gary and I are joining some friends at a gaming cafe to play board games. Should be fun. Sunday we go to the kosher supermarket to get lots of Passover stuff.(First seder is Wed. night)

Enjoy. Been too long since we played board games.

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

Excited about Jes escaping the burning crater of Comixology, landing a new gig and getting London!

What? How is that possible?!

I bought a Manhattan at the bar. It was $26 (plus tip). So let's say that was $30 for one drink. Because it was.

The Minibar had a premixed Manhattan that cost $36 but it was three times as much drink. Also, I had requested a bucket of ice so I could fix it as I preferred, as the bar's Manhattan only had that One Big Cube of ice which really doesn't properly cool the drink.

So three drinks for $36 vs. one drink for $30.

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

We're slightly more than two hours away from being done with our Long Day At The Hospital.

JZ has finished one Pratchett book (Guards, Guards!) and swooped right into the next (Night Watch).

Sir Terry to the rescue. Fortunately with Borderland Books now in our neighborhood we could stock up on all kinds of Discworld recently.

I'm excited to get back to our room, order room service and use the fancy bathtub. While drinking the rest of my minibar cocktail. Woo.

Tomorrow Jacqueline can spend the whole day resting up. Sunday we get the chemo pump removed and fly back to SF.

Then we've got two weeks off before we're back again.

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

Yay for Pterry! That’s about the best reading material I can imagine for such a day.

I really thought hotel mini bars were the gold standard for marking stuff up. I guess my eyes have been opened now.

ETA: also yay for a day of rest! That’s excellent.

Also also, I need to at least get some matzoh this weekend. I don’t think I’m going to make any effort towards an actual Seder, but I can at least have my daily bread if affliction.
