Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

I am eating some of my weekend lasagne. It's good.

Oooh, look at you reaping the rewards of your weekend cooking!

That's a legit spelling, isn't it? I'm getting red squiggly push-back...

I think lasagna with an "a" but surely with an "e" is an alternate spelling.

I got Matilda off to school with homemade chili in her thermos and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich to go. Loaded the dishwasher and ran it, and then I took my body out to the Kezar steps and also ran it. This body has been run. Today I am making a To Do List just for JZ's memorial, and hope to tick off several items. I am also taking my car in for an overdue oil change, and am kind of looking forward to that time where I can take a book and skive off to a local cafe for an hour and read.

I think I need a more regular, alotted reading time, because I want to but I keep letting it get swept away by the pressing requirements of the day. Then in the evening I'm often too tired to have the focus.

Mmm, chili. Scheduling reading time seems like a good idea.

Pretty sure lasagna and lasagne are both fine. I am not getting squiggly red lines, fwtw.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Wordnik says "lasagne" is the plural form: [link]

That which does not kill you should RUN

This body has been run.

I have to find a massage therapist, because ≥30 minutes on the bike 5 times a week is now business as usual for me, but my legs are sore as hell, even though I stretch afterwards. (I told Tim, "I never used to get sore like this before Covid!" and he calmly roasted me by saying "You were younger then." Which, fair enough.)

Because books.

Now I want lasagna/e.

Ah, dcp, with the distinction! Well, it was only lasagna on the plate today -- though I have been known to eat lasagne when given options.

Good for running, David! I... walked the dog a little? I did say I was going to go to the pool today... huh. I should do that soon, because I have class tonight at 7p, so... hmmm. Backtracking to give myself an hour to prep for class, I should leave for the pool by 4:45p.

OK. I can do this. Keep the one goal I articulated for today. Yes.

I am eating fancy chocolate chips to help me not snap at some project managers who are arguing with me. Let's see if that works!

JenP, I feel like you can still use either one, since you made it out of multiple noodles.

Thrive to spite them

I have a prescription for blood pressure medicine...it's amlodpine. I didnt get any communication from the doctor regarding this but maybe I'll get a message back. I was at least expecting "I've prescribed this here is what to expect from it". But maybe it will come.

I tried to call them today to get my Vyvanse called into a different Walmart because the pharmacy at the one I work at is out and the one by home said it would be end of March. But I couldn't get through (but it's Monday) so Ill call tomorrow and hopefully the pharmacy will still have it

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Work was a bit extra work-y today. Upon being asked for help, I made a suggestion to a disgruntled coworker and got pouting and attitude. My male coworker suggested the same thing to her an hour later and got sunshine and roses. So over it.

But I went for a walk at lunch and got to pet multiple dogs, so the day was definitely not a waste.
