the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Sorry about the oatmeal brain, Tep

When I woke up this morning, I was completely confused about where I was. I'm having a little trouble with re-entry!

I also have a sore, scratchy throat and stuffed-up head. I should take a Covid test to be on the safe side, but I suspect it's just random ick.

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

And my eye shingles have resolved for now.

HOORAY!

Post vacation ick, boo!

Thrive to spite them

Hooray no no eye shingles!!

I changed M's bandaged toe. I wasn't sure if I would but I got it all off without hurting him and then got all the layers back on. ... although not as nice as the doctor did it. ( He has a hemostat bandage, non stick bandage, gauze, extra tape for stability). It was still seeping but no where near like the other day.

Back several years ago I freaked out because it looked like my right second toenail had a weird line at the base. Turns out some how the nail had become detected and then it started hurting really bad because the new nail was growing underneath. When I got the old nail off there was a dip on the nail where the new growth hadn't been able to grow. That stayed weird. Then when I busted my little toe the nail finally grew back in 2 separate parts but now it's one. However it has a weird angle on it.

Toenails = creepy odd things.

Covid test was negative, so it's just nonspecified ick.

Also, I discovered last night that Yasso Greek yogurt bars are really good and only 100-150 calories (depending on which one you get). They may be my new summer go-to when I have a sweet tooth.

Our wings are not tired.

Woo! The Democrats have again not fucked this up!

Seriously! An encouraging sign for me was my son's reaction. I NEVER talk politics with him because of battles we had when he was a fierce BernieBro. I knew he couldn't stand either Trump or Biden. (of course, he knows where I stand) Anyway, out of nowhere when we were discussing work stuff, he says that he can't wait to see Walz wipe the floor with Vance in a debate. Then he says guy is awesome. What!?! That to me is a good sign.

For me it is more like your favorite uncle vs your idiot cousin. Well done, Kamala.

Yay not cancer, yay vacation, yay shingles resolving!!

All of that!

Well with all my feelings of I'm getting on top of things I realized I forgot to take my medicine. I think out of the past 5 days I've only remembered 3 or maybe 2. Having the pill case filled for the week helped so I need to get that filled. Also need to still clean out litter boxes.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I forgot to take my medicine.

I'll mention again, I have installed an app on my phone that I have found to be really helpful in preventing this.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Askye, if you have an iphone, you can set up medication reminders without any additional apps.

he says that he can't wait to see Walz wipe the floor with Vance in a debate. Then he says guy is awesome. What!?! That to me is a good sign.

Apparently the kids dig him. Glad they went with someone who will help get out the younger voters.

Pix, glad (not goad) things are easing for you. I wish you a peaceful vacation and a condo buyer ASAP.

Yeah, I have morning and evening reminders at this point because a couple of the meds will mess me up if I miss taking them.
