I am not changing my name primarily because I've been this name for so long, and I like it. But also, the paperwork and potential hassle down the road... brain says, "Nope."

Good job on the list, David!

Shir, may it be productive, and.may you stay safe.

I have dog to the vet at 4p, then drop off car to get brake pads and/or discs replaced -- it's making that "replace me!" noise, and I have to drive to Phily tomorrow, so. They said they'd have it done no later than midday tomorrow, so that'll work.

Rainy and yuck today. Dog doesn't want to go out. I don't bame her, but sometimes you just have to suck it up, pup.

Aaaack, property taxes! Thanks for the reminder, David! Off to find the tax bill (temporarily moved because of doing taxes, but that unfortunately means it is not in the place in my immediate eyeline I initially put it so I'd remember to pay. Aaaack, again!)

Our wings are not tired.

Bow down before my productivity!

Most impressive!

I'm still working on taxes and keep finding things I need to find.

I was awake from 4AM to 5AM for no reasons, I have a headache, I had three meetings about Canadians from 11-2, and now I have to go get a temporary crown put on. Today can bite me. I may just go to bed at 5 and refuse to participate any further.

Back home after 4 hours on my feet and marching ~6km. Left before police started arrests. And this guy is a genius. [link]

Wow Shir that guy is ballsy and impressive. I like it. And yay leaving before arrests. Live to protest again another day and all.

You can look it up online with your address. Or at least I could in SF.

I have picked up the Yardley Soap!

Also got two fancy deli sandwiches for myself, and my friend Jes for when she comes over to do more decorative painting on my back stairs.

Ha! That's what happens when everybody has military service, I guess.

I'm going to pass along a PSA from my friend Rio (who some of you know on FB). She recently had a hormonal implant to address some perimenopause issues and reports:

**********

The hormones make a huge difference - if you have any female friends in their 40s and up who aren’t using them - let them know to read up because doctors aren’t telling their patients - especially male doctors - but also female ones - it’s shitty - and probably every woman should be using them to some degree - there are all different forms from creams to pills - to the pellets - I feel so much better - and my friend Kathy just went on them and also feels so much better -

It is like Norplant - I have testosterone and estrogen in the pellets under the skin and taking oral progesterone

It helped me feel less dead - I was just feeling kinda blah all the time - just in a vague way - like on a low frequency - it makes me feel more motivated and social - and upbeat - positive - hopeful

I wasn’t having a ton of menopause issues - I had mild hot flashes so it totally eradicates those - But for people who have having big mood swings, crying - sleep disturbances - low libido - addresses all those things -

For those keeping score at home: 9 tasks to-do have been to-done!

I have made three appointments for my calendar (two social, one medical).

That is good to hear about Rio. I didn't have any real issue with menopause so lucked out there.

I finished and filed my personal tax return! Now I just have to do my son and the business. It was a chore.
