It's amazing how much better you feel when you're not sick.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Always Anti-fascist!
Dana, sometimes I think my body gives me my little complaints to keep me slogging through my ordinary stuff. But I do overthink stuff sometimes. Happy Shrift Day!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Today is DRAAAAASGGGGING. I am chilly and tired and getting a little grumpy.
I just ate lunch thinking it would help but only increased the tired.
Whine!
I really need to go to bed early tonight.

Dana I always think that on days after I’ve had a mild migraine—where on the day in like “this isn’t sooooo bad maybe I need to just slog through it? Do I really want to take a pill? What if that means I use too many?” And then the next day I’m like “oh right! This is what not having a headache feels like! That WAS bad!” (There are def times when there’s no question and I’m absolutely like “fuck this, pills and bed now” but not always)

Happy Birthday, shrift!
I am currently awaiting that feeling , Dana. I am happy you're there.
Continued good thoughts Pix and ND as you navigate care for Pix's dad.
I had a bunch more to comment on, but I need to leave it to a partial meara for the moment.

Happy Birthday, shrift!
~ma to your dad (and you), Pix.
I can attest to the unexpected amount of happiness brought by decorative lights. I just put up a string of flickering solar lanterns in my Japanese maple, and am pleasantly surprised by how cute it looks. The charge only lasted a couple hours after sunset, but I'd rather have brighter, nicer-looking lights for a short time than longer-lasting unimpressive ones.

That sounds lovely, Matt.
Happy birthday, Shrift!
I have a cold. It’s not world ending, but it is annoying. I was able to take sick leave this afternoon, so I can slounge on the sofa and moan at the cats.

Our wings are not tired
Hey folks, just another update. Pix's dad is responding to the antibiotics, but it's still really rough out there. I'm catching a flight out tomorrow to be with her for a few days.

Glad you can be there.
