Home from the colonoscopy, with no polyps or concerning findings. Since I've now had six clean colonoscopies, the doctor is recommending I go to every 5 years instead of every 3, which is fine by me.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

This! The prep is the worst part, but it's basically just a self-induced 24-hour stomach bug. For the procedure itself, you'll be sedated so much you won't remember much of anything. This time, I don't remember anything between the anesthetist telling me he was starting the sedative in my IV and when it was over and they were ready to take me to the recovery area.

I did the at-home colon cancer screening kit my doctor ordered!
I also ordered an oxygen monitor, and I need to go back through my text chains for my dad's various doctor's visits/diagnoses with things I need to add to my family history in case that changes how frequently they want me to get checked for anything.
Next Thursday is for dealing with Dad and his hallucinations
Best of luck mustering all the grace and coping mechanisms.
At some point here I need to do my taxes…
My executive function tank has been near zero, so this weekend I need to schedule some time blocks where I focus on taxes for 15 minutes and then do fuck all for 45.

Oofdah, I just did my first Wire Transfer to secure the venue. Which was complicated because JZ is still listed as the primary on our bank account, so it sends all verification codes to her phone, which I have to charge and unlock.
And I haven't had her taken off the accounts because I didn't want to fuck with them until I figured out which things were on autopay etc.
Anyway, with the help of online service rep I got it done.
I guess I'll make an official announcement soon, but just to remind everybody:
May 18th (Saturday), Noon to 4pm.
Open bar! Food! Lots of pictures of Jacqueline!

Our wings are not tired.
The venue looks amazing, David.

I had such a pang when I walked in there during the Edwardian Ball, because Jacqueline and I had always wanted to go.
And then I realized I could rent it for her Memorial and she could be there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, that place looks wonderful! On my calendar
Oh, right, taxes, I do still need to do those.
