People are paying no attention to the one way aisles. There's so few of us here I'm sure it doesn't matter, but still.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Glad for the good news, dcp! And the ice cream sandwich

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, dcp!
I would be so pissed, meara. Ugh!

dcp, great news! Definitely worth the trouble of the blood draw!
My advice for Lactaid is take one with the first bite of dairy food and then another one halfway through the meal (and maybe a third at the end if it's something like mac & cheese or ice cream). I keep a giant bottle on my kitchen table and sheets of the single-serve pills in my purse, in my car, in my desk drawer at work...
Ah, good to know. I did have 1.5 oz. of colby-jack cheese (I know that seems oddly specific, but it was 3 cubes that were 1/2-oz. each) about an hour ago, and everything seems okay so far. (With milk on my cereal, or 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee, it took maybe 30 minutes before things went very bad, so I think I can narrow down some cheeses that are friendly to me. But I will also get some Lactaid.)
I've had Silk's holiday nog (probably not actually egg nog) and liked it, and I've had So Delicious ice creams and think they're spooky magic for how good they are. It seems a lot easier to be lactose-free than gluten-free (although even that is fairly easy now).
It's nice pre-fall non-humid weather today, so I'm making a pot of chili with corn muffins for dinner. Of course, it's going back to stupid hot tomorrow, but I really want chili.

Silk's holiday nog is a treat!
Flu shot and vaccination sticker/gift card, done and done. Nothing left in my workday but work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Excellent news, dcp!
I haven't been following a low carb diet, but I have been trying a lower carb diet rather than an all of the carbs diet. I definitely haven't been strict about it because I don't see much point in the endeavor if I can't maintain it long-term, but I've lost about 8-9 pounds so far.
Right the fuck on! At this point I'm basically on a lower carb diet myself because I'm really maintaining rather than actively trying to lose. Figuring out how to make sandwiches with the cauliflower thins, though, has been fun.
Last week I sauteed mushrooms and onions together, set them aside. Made myself a 1/4 burger, smash style. Salt & Pep, Worcestershire. Topped the burger with mushrooms and onions, topped that with Havarti, covered that with a lid. Used my cauliflower thins as the bun, with lettuce, thick slice of heirloom tomato (seasoned), bit of pickle and it was SO decadent.
That's not really diet food with all the fatty deliciousness, but I certainly didn't miss the traditional bun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Great news, dcp!
The flu shot should be available at my work, though I haven't seen any e-mails about it yet. As far as shingles, that will have to wait until I find a new doctor.(Long story short, my doctor joined a concierge practice that is $1800 per person per year. Which is obviously much more than I want to pay, given I usually only see the doctor for my physical.)

Good news, dcp!
I gave up on trying to figure out if my doctor's office was offering flu shots and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow with Walgreens, who let me fill out my vaccination paperwork online instead of assuming I had a printer.
The light bulbs in my kitchen have been replaced and now I can see what the hell I'm doing! I was about to throw a shit fit because I couldn't get the lighting fixture back on when I made myself take a lunch break. I'll try again in a bit, perhaps with duct tape since I don't have enough hands.

Our wings are not tired.
The lab and scan reports have already been released to the patient portal
Excellent! My doctors tend to not let them go to the portal if there are issues.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
So good to see all the good health news here.
My university usually has a big flu shot drive where they bring in some nurses and get staff settled en mass. But they probably don’t want us gathering in large groups right now, so I’ll head over to the CVS soon.
