When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of caffeine, are they still selling the Lemonade of Death?

I just had a hot chocolate. Despite maintenance saying "I should be fine" (as opposed to my office neighbor who has no heat at all), my office is still chilly!

Panera? Oh yes. I almost never get drinks there, but I see it on the menu with a little warning about caffeine

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

You have had quite a month!

It's crazy! But it's also been super fun. San Francisco still has cool shit all the time.

Isn't TSwift a literal billionaire?

Yes she is.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Don't get me started on sad Alpha Nick and his posting that shit. That, in addition to being the kind of dork who calls *himself* alpha, it rocks his worldview that for the most part that J-lo movie where she dates the quiet unassuming math teacher? Is not a documentary. (Although more than a few rich, famous women date and marry internists and periodontists and such.) Must admit to finding both Taylor and her Search For Love uninteresting, but watching evil people flip out about it? Doesn't break my heart.(And it's good that she's into civic engagement and all.)

Our wings are not tired.

I'd do a chai espresso. I have regular espresso, and often Cuban coffee, when I visit my practices. You wouldn't think cardiologists would pound espresso, and yet! At home, I make myself various lazy espresso drinks involving chocolate and/or flavored creamers. I am way too lazy actually to froth anything, but I have for others.

I find Taylor interesting. I hope they annoy her enough to set her masses to the polls. Just one mention on IG got 35,000 of her people to register to vote. Bring it!

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

Timelies all!

No coffee in my chai, please. I don’t like the flavor of coffee, so mixing it with something I do like is a no-go.

A long shot, but does anyone have opinions on what ticket resale site is the best? I didn't get the on-sale notification for the Beetlejuice musical tickets in Seattle, so I'm going to have to suck it up and go with a reseller.

Woo! Finished the consult after my hip MRI. No surgery. He said the tear will not repair as it is degenerative, but he is starting me on Celebrex and 6 weeks of PT. The key is that it feels better the more I move as opposed to feeling worse. Good news!

That's good news, Laura! My mother had a similar experience with her knee -- she was afraid she was going to need surgery, but PT fixed her right up.

So, I forgot to have lunch and now that I’ve had dinner my belly’s all “yes, I seem to be full now but I was really very empty for a while there, maybe you should eat more just in case?”
