Now I'm disappointed that the movie doesn't actually exist.
Me too!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I ran to Safeway on lunch, to get the doggo food and they had a new big sign at the entry that masks aren’t required if you’re vaccinated. Fuck that noise, you think I trust people???

Meara I saw the same at Walmart on Sunday (where I have to get dog’s insulin). FUCK THAT. I was happy to see most people still wearing masks.
It’s gonna be the unvaccinated going maskless. No doubt.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So on Saturday I went out in the city with some friends and one of the bars we went to used the Excelsior Pass... so I signed up for it (shockingly quickly), went into a bar with my friends, exchanged smiles with the bar tender who made me a VERY good Caipirinha, and sat there drinking and chatting with my friends. It was like we'd all just turned 21 again. It was like a brief visit to the Before Times.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but seemingly today is Bob Dylan's birthday ... his 80th (!).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another bad day with Mr. S. Gary had to pick him up early from school because he just couldn't settle down. Of course, the fact that he came in to our room around 6(alarm is set for 6:30) and was acting up then should have been a clue how things would be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's Natter, right? OT okay? Okay. I just checked Apocalypse, and glanced at the header "Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation.." and a ghost from the past came charging to the forefront of my brane: "Man, woman, birth, death, infinity." Sam Jaffe and a piece of chalk, drawing each symbol at the opening credits of...dun da da duuunnn! Ben Casey. What was I, seven? Mom thought he was dreamy (so was Dr. Kildare) and never missed an episode. Why, ghosts of the past? Why? I have my own fannish memories to manage.
Crossposted Sheryl. I'm sorry Mr. S gets in his own way. You and G are heroes, every day.

What is even happening?
Beverly, it's funny when something pushes a long-forgotten memory button.
Sheryl, I'm sorry you, Gary, and Mr. S had a bad day. May today be much better.
Well, C had his (original drug) Remicade infusion, yesterday. He started going by himself some time during the pandemic, but I decided to go with him, just in case. (He's still treated at a pediatric facility, so they allow patients to keep a family member with them.)
The infusion went well, and there weren't any attempts to get us to sign a waiver. Our clinical access manager (who works at a different site) must have gotten the infusion center staff up to speed.
However — the petechiae, which had responded to treatment and previously resolved — had already roared back in their ugly red glory, when he took off his compression socks at 10:30pm. Dang. It.
We knew there was a chance that if Inflectra triggered the vasculitis, Remicade could too. I was surprised it did it so, so very quickly. I'm trying not to let myself feel defeated.
I just don't know what this means for his Crohn's treatment going forward. I would imagine this rules out the infliximab biologic (Remicade) and the infliximab biosimilars (Inflectra, and the others), which are the drugs of choice for his severe disease type (that comes with the bonus of fistulae and strictures). What I'm afraid of is that it could rule out all anti-TNF drugs, which are the Crohn's treatment of choice at the moment.
I emailed photos and a brief message to his gastroenterologist and dermatologist last night, so today I wait, while C is off to start his summer internship.
