Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

But I have other dresses I can wear to the wedding -- either this one or this one (the pink one is a little more beachy and the black one is a little more festive).

Punishingly Intricate

Oh yeah eshakti has been having some problems for a year or more.

Either of those other dresses are pretty! I especially like the darker one.

Thrive to spite them

That sucks about the dress but I love the first of your alternates.

Also having multiple things medical going on sucks JenP.

I had my dermatology appointment. I don't have skin cancer ! Yay. I do have xanthelasma which is the yellow spots. It's cholesterol build up under the skin and can turn into a raised area. The dermatologist said it would scar of removed so she didn't recommend that at the time. I was worried and messaged my Dr who said my cholesterol levels were awesome in Dec so he didn't thin I had high cholesterol but he could recheck in my next appointment which is next month.

The white spot is Seborrheic keratoses or the start. She froze that off. Those are benign but end up looking like a brown raised mole and I don't want that on my face. I do have one on my temple. Apparently you can just peel them off when they are like the one on my temple

Also solely due to the lack of clipboard history and only being able to copy and paste one thing at a time I'm never getting a Google Pixel again. Unless they fix it I might reconsider. It is the most annoying thing ever to constantly have to find the thing I want and copy it and paste it. I guess I could copy it into Keep Notes or something but I am used to Samsung's amazing clipboard.

I can't remember how to spell either of the skin issues enough for auto correct to kick in so I keep having to look it up. But Google can't figure out what I'm asking for either so I have to Google a description.

Root canal achieved, and when I asked how it went, the doc said, "It actually looked better than expected, and I did the build while I was in there, so Dr. A will have a much easier time of it (rebuild/crown) than she was expecting. Nice! (I mean, I was awake for it; he just wasn't narrating as he went as some do.)

Toe feels better, and AZO and antibiotics seem to be working as advertised, so things are looking up!

Yay for no cancer results, askye.

Yay for pretty, new dresses... whenever they may come

I need food now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jeez, Jen, you are really going through it, top to bottom! I am glad things are looking up.

Phew, askye.

Always Anti-fascist!

I found root canal's misery to be slightly...overhyped. Not that I want another one. But the dentist that wanted his chair back from the "big" room and made my disabled ass get up in the middle? Mean. Literally added insult to injury.

Ouch, JenP, so sorry about all of the medical things happening at once (or at all!). Much health~ma.

Had an absolute lovely time with David today in SF. Saw some sights, had food, hit some stores, listened to music, got books and music (thanks to David), saw wonderful pictures of JZ.

Working on the after-work plans for tomorrow and the day after and where and what to see while I'm here. And in one week from now, I will get to hug my cat again and sleep in my own bed and shower in my own shower. The little things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That IS a magnificent dress! I want.

Couldn’t sleep so I binged Dead Boy Detective Agency. Rewatched the first three and inhaled the rest. Dear self - please don’t let your pain get so bad that you have to skip work and watch eight hours of Telly while you desperately try to mitigate it, hmm? Which is what I’m trying to do with this new job but getting through the next month is going to be rough. I’m going to have to let go and let it be messy.
