"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I remember you talking about that a while back! There's a lot of "seems fake, but okay" stuff that suddenly becomes clear when you figure out something like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Finding the label and knowing there are many like me was what I really needed.

That's great, tommy.

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

Timelies all!

I'm glad things are going well, Tommy.

Did the seder at Gary's mom's house. Went fine.

My toenails are now sparkly and purple. (Not that any one other than me and Gary will see them-I don't wear sandals much- but they make me happy)

Sheryl, you inspired me and I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow.

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

We're doing an office easter egg hunt right now. I just can't bring myself to join in, Easter is just too definitely a religious holiday to me, even though eggs are not necessarily.

Hooray for security and self-knowledge, tommyrot!

Susan, that can't be right. Check your math, please. Nineteen? What?

I know! It feels unpossible.

Susan, I remember when he was born! Surely that was just 5 or 6 years ago.

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

Hey, Nineteen!

Oh, and I figured out I’m agender. That explains so much!

That's good to know.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tim had a CT scan of his back and a DEXA scan for bone density earlier this week, and today was a follow-up appointment with the back surgeon. His bone density kind of sucks, so the surgeon wants to wait 2-3 months before surgery so Tim can take Evista or one of the other drugs that helps improve bone density. In the meantime, he's also going to get an epidural steroid injection to try to help with some of the increased pain he's having.

I'm both sad and glad the surgery is pushed back by 2-3 months: sad because he really, really needs to the surgery to happen, and glad because it gives me a little bit longer for the long Covid fatigue to (hopefully) go away completely. I'll be a better caregiver if I'm not exhausted all the time. And it gives us a little more time to prepare for everything that he'll need when he's recovering at home. He's super excited to buy a recliner. I called him an old man.
