Home by 3:30 and now I'm hooked on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Charismatic cast!

Oh, yes! Just wait until you get to the ep that dropped yesterday, OMG. SO FUCKING GREAT.

Yay for good nurse and being able to keep on schedule. Also, yay for good tv. Suela and Nanita, so sorry about the pictures and the emotions around them.

Hooray for bathroom improvements, and NZ adventures! Also for con excursions.

Matt, ~ma for your mom.

Existing in the heat and cowering indoors, mostly. Of course the car has AC, so scenic drives are a plus.

Okay, y'all, I am missing a work document, and I've looked everywhere and can't find it, and it would be a huge pain in the ass to recreate and we're already on a couple of deadlines, so I'm gonna need everyone to pray to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost things, that this thing turns up right away.

Also got a weird medical thing going on, so this is not my best Monday.

In college I interned for the Catholic magazine St. Anthony Messenger (this is real), and the phrase everyone used was "Tony, Tony, turn around; something's lost and must be found."

May Tony be with you.

Sending Tony vibes your way, Dana. That is so fucking frustrating.

But not Tino, just to be clear.

Mom always called it "praying to the angel that finds things" so that's what I'm sending up for you.

I did this a lot with all the lost keys and things through the years.

I have therapy in 20 mins, which is good, I need it. It's telehealth because I feel like crap. I'm dealing with more anxiety about job hunting than I thought I would and I've been avoiding and procrastinating instead of dealing with things. I need to ...I don't know how to get out of this mind set I'm in. But hey,....therapist.

My aunt is back at rehab, not because she's doing better but because that's the only place she can go right now. They have I think 5 more days to find some place else for her to go. The assisted living place she was at does have advanced care but at $500/day.

I watched the crossover episode with Lower Decks yesterday and now I need to go back and watch the whole show.

I'm back from my diagnostic mammogram (which AFAICT is identical to a screening one except they have a doctor evaluate the results in real time and ask for additional images if need be). The doctor didn't see anything concerning, so rather than doing an ultrasound immediately afterward they put me on a schedule of annual mammograms in the summer and annual MRIs in the winter.

The doctor didn't see anything concerning

Woot!

and now I need to go back and watch the whole show.

I really love the whole cast, which is not that common. The actors playing Pike, Number 1 and Spock are all sexy, screen charisma champs, and the actress playing Uhuru is bringing depth to that characterization.

It's really well written and true to the Trek spirit of finding and creating solutions rather than shooting their way out of trouble. Kind of classic Trek mission-of-the-week but with some fascinating arcs.

As soon as Pike showed up on Discovery, it was like a charisma explosion. He was immediately so great.
