I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Nice to see tommyrot (or Tommy rotate, as my phone keeps wanting me to say) and Gud!

I'm sorry March was such a rough one, Tommy. I'm glad you've found and are finding your words. Ditto Raymond Holt from above.

Gud, I'm glad you got them even tough it's because of bad turnout. I just yesterday heard/read that we (U.S.) aren't likely going to reach herd immunity because of vaccination hesitancy. Boils my blood.

I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.

This. Bring on the juice. And the IV painkillers of various types.

Tommy Rotate sounds like a new wave band. Tommy Rotate and the Spinners! No, wait, Spinners is already taken.

Tommy Rotate and The Vortex!

It's very good to see Tom and Gud here. Glad to hear Gud's fam got all shottinated.

I get vaccine #1 in about an hour!

Yay! So far I'm having the same effect with Shot #2 as I did with #1. Which is to say very mild muscle soreness. No more really than I feel after doing my pushup sets.

I had a sandwich yesterday! Forbidden, delicious bread. Mmmmm.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Maybe I'll celebrate with tacos.

And now I'm picturing tommyrot and Vortex jamming out on stage, and I LOVE the visual.

Yay for vaccines and sandwiches!

I'm out of eggs. This cannot stand.

They are SO necessary!

ION, I was watching a cooking video with Carla from BA and now I desperately want a Brocco Taco and you will too after you see this video (go to 14:52): [link]

So much melty cheeeeeese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

or Tommy rotate, as my phone keeps wanting me to say

Heh. Although only in moderation. Any more and I'd fall down. My sense of balance was never good, and it's worse now because of anti-anxiety meds.

And now I'm picturing tommyrot and Vortex jamming out on stage, and I LOVE the visual.

Last time I performed live on stage I was playing my electric violin. (I stopped playing it during the Great Bedbug Fiasco of Aught-Nine and never picked it up again.) I'm thinking I should start playing the violin, guitar, or bass guitar again. It's a good stress reducer and now I have the time.

Uuuugg. Some work stuff that is really not my usual bailiwick is falling apart right now and I don’t even know who to ask for help because our whole system is nuts and I hate this and it’s why I didn’t want this position. Grrrrrr.

Also I tried to use my new-ish ATM card and realized I have no idea what the PIN is. I tried like three or four different possibilities and none worked and now I need to handle that (and ended up using a different card and paying a $3 fee, hmph).

But I went to the dentist and I was fine and I have no cavities.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am booking vacation leave!!!! Getting these days in EARLY so I get the days I want. YES!

Yes... and you'll need to start boning up for the band's premier.

My balance is just really sad these days. It hadn't occurred to me some of it could be meds, hmmm. I want to counter it by starting yoga or tai chi or both in earnest. And strength training. I have work to do in the "you're aging - fall prevention is a thing now" arena.

I have achieved eggs! Thank goodness.

And yay for no cavities and booking vacation days!
