blargh I have a callback on Monday for more tests. ~ma would be welcome. I hate this.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Fingers crossed for your uncle and aunt, sj.
{{{JZ}}} It's completely unpredictable. Last week I got misty-eyed over the memory of sitting in the vestibule of an Olive Garden with my dad while waiting for a relative to bring the spare key. Nevermind that I've probably eaten in that Olive Garden a dozen times since his funeral and not had that reaction.
We haven't made Christmas Eve or Christmas dinner plans yet, but I think I'm going to suggest having Mom come over to my place for the former so I can take care of all the meal details and she won't have to worry.

What is even happening?
Much health to you, hippocampus, and sj, to your auntie and uncle.
JZ, I'm sorry you're going through this.
Matt, you're such a good son.
SCOTUS told Texas (and 106 seditious House Republicans) to ass themselves in the ear. Even Thomas and Alito were like, "Well, we should have let you file, but only so we could tell you no to your face." [link]

Thank god for that at least. I thought it was just this Texas dude that was crazy but apparently it’s half the republicans in congress, 17 states, and Texas??? Good god.
Got a new iPhone mini because basically it was free with sending my old one back. It’s so tiny! Going to take some getting used to but I think it’ll be good eventually

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Not all of Texas, but certainly a distressing amount. Paxton is kneeling at the altar and asking for a pardon because he's a fucking criminal. Ted Cruz is just the worst.

I gather the SCOTUS has just opted not to basically dismantle the entire federal system right now (no doubt they’ll get around to it one day) but it’s still, after all this, hard to not be shocked and dismayed how much of their party openly asked them to.

What is even happening?
I said 106 Republican Members of Congress, but I think it ended up being 126. Now the head of the Texas Republicans is implying succession might be the answer.

What recipe did you use, brenda?
