I hope you’ve got IRL folks you can rant and rave with Cash.
My work is a little crazy but I’m on vacation Thirs/Fri and fully expect when I come back Monday some sort of crazy drama will have happened. Oh well.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.
'Heart Of Gold'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

What is even happening?
Cashmere, I'm glad to see you checking in here.
I’m taking out my anger in very subtle ways. I just bought my nephew a wooden katana practice sword.
Excellent! Don't forget drums exist. Also, you can get bagpipes on Amazon. [link]

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Though depending on how tall said nephew is, a full stand of pipes may be unwieldy. Kazoos, on the other hand, are very portable and easier to conceal.

Why am I hearing that like it’s a quote from Bull Durham?

Ha! That movie has sunk into my subconscious and affects my phrasing.

I've been off doing a bunch of vision and medical adulting. I have a new pair of computer glasses because I'm an old, but not yet an old who requires bifocals. I also joined a walking competition at work to give me external motivation although I'm annoyed that it actually works on me. One thing I still need to do is find a psych if I want to get evaluated for ADHD, so I may as well make some notes about what my insurance plan offers on that when I do open enrollment.

Oh, god, open enrollment. That was mentioned in one of my meetings today and I immediately forgot about it! Probably I will make no changes but I do have to remember to look at what’s available

Our wings are not tired.
Being old I am really hoping this bill gets passed and glasses and dental get included in Medicare. That'd be super cool. I hear fine, but what a wonderful thing for the elderly to get hearing aids too. Those things are super costly.

Thrive to spite them
I really really need to make an appointment for an eye exam and see if my near vision has gotten worse enough I can have stronger distance on my trifocals. Or at least find out how much a back up pair of glasses would cost if my vision isn't getting that bad.
I had today and I have tomorrow off. I should be doing things like figuring out what I'm going to take to the beach next week and figure out what kinds of groceries to order and stuff like that. Only I did my typical day off and mostly lay in the dark and then later nap. But I realized as busy and as hectic as it's been I need the sensory relief of dark and quiet (or mostly quiet).
And I played Minecraft with E.
Now it's 10:15 and I'm awake. Which isn't the best since I need to get in the habit of getting up earlier for work.
