the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Well, at least SCOTUS got one right. They tossed out the case meaning that mifepristone will remain available.

I get a few medical-related e-mail newsletters every day, and I cheered when I read the subject line on that one this morning.

I have a cold (Covid test yesterday was negative), so I think today's going to be a day off for me. I might just go back to bed.

Got my driver's license renewed today (or, as Texas insists, driver license.) Nothing says dystopia quite so much as the renewal form asking you to donate to help process sexual assault kits.

Sooooo Dad is back in the hospital. He won a trip in an ambulance yesterday because he passed out from GI bleeding. I took today off because I'm going to go visit, of course, even tho' the hospital is 50+ miles from us. (Which is inconsequential, because my Dad.)

We won't be heading out until late afternoon, and I'm feeling some residual guilt that I took today off even tho' I could have been around the first half of the day. Even tho' I know that I wouldn't have been able to concentrate or get anything done.

You would think I was raised Catholic with the constant background murmur of guilt in my head.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear, Atropa! Best wishes for your Dad. And back off, guilt murmurs!

Dana, that is disturbing

Atropa, tons of ~ma for your dad. I’m sorry.

I hope he's doing OK/better, Atropa. Take care.

It's time to don the party hats and send up a cheer because it is Javachik's birthday! I hope you are spoiling yourself and having a wonderful day. May the year to come be filled with joy.

Atropa, ~ma to your dad.

Happy Birthday, Javachick!
