My niece says my mom's surgeon is OKing her dropping the opiate and just taking Tylenol and ibuprofen. She has really not been liking the side effects.
I hope she does well on just OTC meds!
Note to self: religion freaky.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Me too! It's what she was taking before the surgery and it was working well. Hopefully there's not too much more pain to be dealt with now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The furnace has been fixed. Luckily, this past week the nighttime temps have been in the 60s, so not having the furnace has been fine for us.
I also have a new Bluetooth mouse. (Hey, it's the little things.)
This weekend we are going to the local folklore society's annual retreat. I need to figure out what to pack, given that it's supposed to be cool and rainy for much of the weekend.

Ok, it’s been longer than I planned, for no good reason.
Are you mostly remote, Calli? How often do you have to be in office? 1.5 hours is a long drive.
Yes, I’m mostly remote. I’ve gone in about once a mont so far, which is totally doable. Also, t-, I’m glad your mom’s surgery went well.
Debet, I’m sorry work is awful, and I hope you’re in a better situation soon.
Tom, I’d love to hear more about the bookbinding class. That’s something I’ve been interested in learning about, but the timing/opportunity just hasn’t happened for me yet.
