I burst a blood vessel in my eye once, and it was pretty gnarly. Also, I didn’t notice until people at work started commenting, so that was fun. But it didn’t hurt and it resolved, and nothing ever came of it.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Pretty sure most medicine in 14th century France was "rub some mugwort on it."

Plus honey, garlic, and probably goldenseal.

It’s possible I’m looking at a recurrence tomorrow, though. I literally just put a calendar block on for tomorrow morning marked “Crying”.

We’re saying goodbye to Mozzie this afternoon. He took a 3 to 4 week prognosis and turned it in to an extra 10 months on sheer stubbornness. But it’s taking a turn the last week or two and especially the last couple of days. So here we are.

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

We’re saying goodbye to Mozzie this afternoon.

Oof. I'm sorry, but glad for the ten stubborn months.

Aww so sorry to hear that Brenda. I hope it’s loving and peaceful.

Plus honey, garlic, and probably goldenseal.

Dunno about goldenseal but at least honey and garlic have antibacterial properties! And are yummy, though maybe not together.

Punishingly Intricate

Sorry to hear about Mozzie, Brenda

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Brenda, I’m so sorry. It’s never easy.

I'm sorry, Brenda. Good on the stubborn Mozzie for the 10 months extra. So hard.

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

I feel like I deserve a gold star for actually following the advice that I would give to someone else, because normally I am pretty lax when it comes to my own well-being, and believe in the power of taking ibuprofen.

Gold stars, blue ribbons, plaques and statues! Well done, Tep!

Oh, brenda, I'm so sorry. I'm so fond of Mozzie. Even with "extra" time, it's not enough. I'm so fond of Mozzie.

Honey and garlic can be yummy together, but I wouldn't add one to everything the other is in as a general health preventative. I don't think. Maybe it's worth trying, now that I type it out.
