Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I finally have a CT (no contrast) scheduled for tomorrow.
CT of head completed, read, results given to my Dr and they called saying everything looks okay before I even was finished driving home. I don't live right by good medicine so it took me an hour to get home but that's super fast results.

Argh. US healthcare system. Ugh.
Yep.

That was inevitable. And I've clearly gotten behind in my Scary Things That Will Kill You PROmed newsletter because this was the first I've heard of it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Dana, that shirt is a hard NO.

So glad you didn't miss a dose of your meds, dcp.

Sorry for the illness, msbelle. I'm glad you got an appointment to see somebody.

It was 40 degrees last night. Extra blanket. Body thermostat confused.

I've never been fond of Kraft, especially mac&cheese (and those li'l, li'l hotdogs --never mind, Dark Angel ref). I'd try the deep-fried bits, but euw, mac&cheese ice cream, nuh-uh.

What is even happening?

I'm glad you got good results, Cass.

It just invoked Gus for me.

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

I feel fine this morning, just like every other day this week. Plan for the day - shower - drop off compost - walk dogs - get COVID test - do nails - listen to an audiobook - walk dogs again

I’m not going to go inside any business until I get the test results back, so I may also order some groceries. I’m grumpy.

Cindy, same here.

msbelle, crossing fingers for negative results and no recurrence of feeling crappy this afternoon.

I have eaten breakfast, meditated, done my Saturday morning call, and now we are going to the gym, AND I have a load of laundry in. I am feeling fucking virtuous for a Saturday morning. Boom.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Juliana day! I hope the day is filled with treats and smiles.

Sorry about the grumpies, msbelle. Hope you have a better day.

It just invoked Gus for me.

Indeed.

Well done, JenP! Way more virtuous than I have been today. I made coffee.

Test was a self test which I’m not thrilled with, but it’s done. Results 1-2 days

msbelle, so, like, one you purchased, or that's what the dr./urgent care used?

Happy Day, Juliana! (Or Joana, as my phone decided first time out.)

Omg I was having a horrible dream about how I had the worst migraine ever and I was also supposed to be taking this test (which scrolled out like a Harry Potter essay to be like 20 feet long) and I could NOT figure out how to turn off the lights and they were so bright and hurting so much and I couldn’t find sunglasses either and….finally woke up and realized the sun was shining directly onto my face and thats why.
