And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am doing Onerous Medical Tasks. Yesterday: annual gyno appt. Today: annual eye exam. Yesterday: scheduled annual physical. Todo: schedule mammogram.

I do not like the onerous medical tasks. Where do I sign up to get a self-healing body that does not require me to talk to people about it over the phone.

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

That is a lot of poking and prodding in a short amount of time

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Indeed it is. What happened to the days when our bodies took care of themselves quietly as long as we ate some pizza or ramen and got a few hours sleep?

Yes, please give me the "healthy and in my mid-twenties" package. This late 40s version is BULLSHIT.

Preach. I remeber very well the first time a doctor said something like, "...a little bit of arthritis and a bone spur there. We'll send you to PT." But like, no "It'll clear up in a month or so." Just, yup, that's in your life now.

The sad thing is I’m almost certainly healthier and in better shape than I was in my 20s, for the most part…and yet time still has me messed up. Boooo.
